I sometimes wonder if I'm making any progress.:confused:

Yeah, you're changing the trucks suspension geometry. Your likely to have more vibration if you don't, let alone an alignment issue.

Brandon wouldn't like you using gas....Brandon would prefer windmills.:eek:

Everyone here including my parents had all of the big 3 manufactures vehicles back in the 60's and 70's. I even had a beat up 63 327 chevy impala, later a 67 jeep, and a 66 gto I later converted into a drag car . I bought a used 73 Datsun pickup from a guy in 75 as a grocery getter till I...

Yep.

You'll always get those that have more money then brains to preserve something they have become attached to.

A chevy....just ask my brother what he thinks of them. He's still replacing electrical switches, and relays in his 2005 and it's only got 45k miles on the odo. Before that, the sway bar broke, and the fuel tank rotted out.

Again surmising rather than solving the issue.

Quit worrying about the gen3, except for the nanny bs, its a solid truck, or I'd buy something else. Toyota fixed the major complaints with the gen3 by 2019. Like anything post covid vehicles, imo haven't reached the same quality level as before.

And I bet the truck in trade was in worse shape than yours, or you would get a low ball offer on yours. I've heard that one a 1000 times.

That bearing will rarely fail if the suspension is left stock. It's when you start doing lifts, it puts more stress on this bearing as your changing the drivetrains geometry. There's a bushing available instead of the bearing if you need to go that route. I've had stock 4wd Toyotas since 79, and...

Keep telling yourself that. You still need to find that someone with a pocket of cash willing to buy it.

Engine was fine except needing a timing belt kit...that includes the serpentine belt, and water pump along with the timing belt itself. All for close to a $1k. Maintenance on this 4.7 tundra engine isn't cheap. Other than that, my passenger side exhaust manifold developed a small leak. I would...

Well, being 70, and with a body thats somewhat compromised, I'm right there too. My days of repairing anything major now are history.

Depending on the condition of the steering rack lines to the pump, it's likely a $2k job if taken to a shop, and that was nearly 10 years ago. I replaced the rack in my tundra easy enough. Replacing 2 very corroded steel lines to the pump was harder. All in all it was around a $1k or so in parts...

That ain't all thats probably ready to go. Imo, owning various toyota's for at least 45 years...they die hard. I only had one back in the day with 22re that the engine failed.
