Non-Wheeling Wrench-a-thon at the casa da Silverback - Sept 19th

[Silverback]

We'll hit "Ricks" once we are done... chics dig dirty sweaty guys who are a little buzzed... as long as we have $$.

 

[yotarob]

Hey Sean what would you like for us to bring besides the obvious cooler of beer & water? Chips? Meat for the grill? Hookers?

 

[Silverback]

Well I was gonna grab something for the grill.. not sure what. I'll have chips and all that stuff. What does everyone want to eat? HEB has these preseasoned chicken breasts (italian, red chili, etc) and they are pretty damn good.

 

[yotarob]

It's what ever man. I can eat damn near anything, chicken sounds good to me.

 

[Silverback]

I'll pick up some chicken and some sides. One thing we do need is another set of jackstands. I have 3 sets, but one is small. Another large set would be nice to have.

 

[AlienXtx]

is that a hint?.....

 

[Silverback]

yes, I suppose it is.. I guess I never said "Someone bring a set of jack stands" LOL

I've got a very large set. They are out on loan at the moment but I will see If I can get them back.

 

[drew02a]

I have a couple sets, but they are barely tall enough to handle my truck.

I just remembered that I seriously fucked the bolts that hold the ADD tube to the diff. Don't know if that makes a difference to you Sean? 3 are stripped pretty bad, but I was able to torque them correctly when I put everything back together. The other one I replace with all-thread and a nut.

Aparantly, Toyota discontinued them, and no one sells anything suitable to replace them. I made sure to put the All-Tread one in a place where it could easily be replaced if another bolt could be found.

 

[Silverback]

Hmm.. any idea what size they where?

 

[drew02a]

Hmm.. any idea what size they where?

I don't recall, I think I still have the one that got replaced though. It's just a shaft, missing it's head. I took it with me to commercial bolt store, and they didn't have anything for me. I don't remember if I checked McMasterCarr or not.

 

[Silverback]

Might be like the driveshaft bolts.. they are like a metric 11. Not available anywhere but Toyota.

 

[drew02a]

Let me know if it's a big deal, and we'll figure something out.

We could switch the ADD shafts/ bolts, but I don't think it's a good idea to separate it unless we have 4 good replacement bolts right there ready to go.

Maybe Chase at ECGS would have some extras?

 

[Silverback]

I have a buddy who pulled his IFS from his 02 Taco. He still has the front end parts.. I'm gonna get them and see if the bolts will work.. long shot but maybe.

 

[yotarob]

Beer run at noon sounds good.
