I bought this truck a few years back as a daily driver. It is a little rougher than I want for a daily driver, and I am now looking for a 4runner. I don't think I have it in me to sell it, so the plan is to turn it into a budget crawler. The truck has 250,000 miles on it. It is a 22re with a 5 speed, and I have been replacing little things going out since I bought it. About a year ago it ended up on its side because of stupidity ad lack of traction. (mostly stupidity) Luckily all it knock the tires off bead and put a dent in the front fender.

Welcome to YT, glad you are gonna keep the truck

 

Thanks, I really appreciate that.

 

Well I had to replace my rear axle bearing. Not fun.

 

Welcome to YotaTech,

Nice truck, look forward to seeing your build!

 

Welcome. Subscribed on the build

 

I got the axle bearing replaced...what a job! I tried all of the tricks I could find, but I ended up having to take it to a local shop to get the bearing off of the axle. After that it was cake. If I have to do it again I will definitely make a tool out of an old housing.

 

Nice looking truck. Im a sucker for a 3rd gen reg cab pickup. Love those things.

 

Welcome! Yeah those rear bearing are fun! I made the tool out of 1/2 a old housing to help press the bearings out. Works mint.
