The 5 guys who BS on the forum BS Thread

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

 

Nope, doesnt look like it. might of taken about 1000 miles off of my tires due to the bad alignment but i was like a mile away from home and just crawled it back.
The scariest thing was I drove back from college station that day and if i were to of broken it going 70 on the freeway i would of needed a roll cage or two

 

Alright yall so give me some advice on what the hell i should do here.
I replaced my whole steering rack a year ago and upon trying to put some duralast inner tie rods in after last nights mishap, they dont fit... I went and tried to find the steering rack off of the same site i bought it off of to see what company it was but they dont even carry it anymore. not sure what i should do here

 

i dont wanna sound insane but you may want to talk to toyota

 

Why won't the duralast inners fit?? That's fucked up. I'd recommend you take the current inner tie rod out, go to NAPA or something and compare the threads

 

i would start believing that vehicle is cursed.

 

thats the game plan tomorrow

I've came to that conclusion about a year ago lol. It used to belong to my uncle before he died and me and my dad joke around saying that every time something breaks hes just fucking with us

 

Well it would explain why nothing breaks at a bad time lol

 

i wouldnt rule that out. I have a friend whose dad died on shift and the boat breaks down randomly, cars break down randomly. Random things happen then right after something like that they see his badge number on SOMETHING around them. Its quite funny how it all goes down. I've been there a few times, once we had a flat tire and the tow truck that pulled over had 497 on his plate.

 

haha i believe that! thats crazy

 

well perks of working at enterprise i guess, got a company car to rent for the week while my truck stays in houston.
gonna have a steering shop modify oem tie rods to get them to fit my steering rack. probably sleeve them too so I dont break any in the near future.

 

Been pricing out black friday stuff all day. I wish I had money.

 

You should get those heim joint tie rods Sam was talking about

 

thats pretty much what these will be, strengthwise

 

Nice! Good luck!

 

Woo boy is it chilly

 

Who gets the thread next month?

 

its not even 55* today. foggy as all hell and pouring. Good day for christmas decoration set up.

 

Good day to be an idiot

 

Oh and he put a 40" on each side of his rack

 

Super bro status

 

is that three on top? sweet moses he is buying right into the memes

 

bro. do you even light bar.

 

dammit, the rain made my TC arm bushing squeak. time to grease them again.

 

do they squeak often?

 

i rarely hear them. its a dry rubber noise. So im figuring it up to being the bushings. They're 99% silent. The icons however..sound like im carrying a pack of parakeets.

 

Are all those lights necessary? I'm absolutely opposed to doing night runs so I'm going with no lights. Maybe a small 20" bar.

Don't forget to loosen the long bolt first

Sounds about right. The seals they use just like to squeak in a hurry. Triflow on the shafts doesn't last too long either.

 

IMO gotta loosen it put it on its own weight bounce it around then grease the bitch up. Easy just being lazy.

 

I'd like a chance to be lazy. Been a long week but 4Runner should be up and running in another day or two. Just need my spindles sandblasted and it'll be the last item to go on.
