Lmao Tyson you crack me up!!! Hey kranberry, try some of that Radiator sealant. I used that in the jeep, and it worked great, think I did on another vehicle too, but can't remember. As for the rear end, you knew you needed to put the 5:29s in anyway, so that can't be a big deal. Does look better with the black around the bottom tho

 

[krany]

Its not a leak like around the hose clamp, the hose has to be the stock hose and I almost put my finger threw that. It's not even a major hose either it's an inch wide, right under the intake. I used it on my jeep and it worked great too. I was there when you put that stuff in to, little tube of sand like stuff. Yea it looks way slick with the black paint. Haha Tyson but I am not sure I am gonna be joining flavor of the week club just yet. Started pulling my third tonight, after I pulled the shaft and removed all the carrier nuts I went to jack it up and broke my little floor jack, oops. So for now I am at a stand still till I can find a neighbor to let me borrow real quick. When I drained it I saw quite a bit of little metal chunks coming out, I almost wanna strain it and see all the pieces but soon enough I will see the full damage.

 

[krany]

it is now soon enough......pulled the third out and man were there some big ** chunks of metal.

the gears were in the worst position to get a carnage pic

this interested me. i think the entire carrier moved, dunno how else this would happen, kinda stumped me, and by the looks of the carrier it did move.

in the shrapnel there is what looks to be en entire tooth broken off

I don't see what the big deal is. It's normal to have some metal shavings in your fluid.

i think were past the shaving stage:greg:

When I sold my lj the kid that bought it called me a few weeks later and asked if I was having problems with the rear end. I hadn't had any problems and the gears were only 15 months old but when he took the diff cover off there were 13 teeth missing but there was no metal chunks or shavings in there at all. Weird!

that sounds more fishy than weird, where would those metal chunks go! Someone would of had to taken them out, I don't think even a Dana 60 could grind up some of the chunks I have, and those will devour metal for breakfast lunch and dinner.

 

[Cascadia]

They were done at six states in Orem and I trust them with any job I take to them. It is fishy though.

 

[krany]

Thirds Done, I was able to re use the solid spacer I shouldn't re have this problem...knock on wood. Trucks all put back together and I think I pulled a muscle in my Lowe back somewhere in the process of putting it all together. Tomorrow gotta clean garage and take her for a test drive.

 

[Marsh99]

My lower back always hurts after moving around 3rds

It's a Yota thing...now it hurts when I move :lol:

 

[sixstringsteve]

haha, I have the same lower back pain as I read this, and I just installed a third tonight. Apart from the engine, a toy third is probably the single heaviest part of the truck

 

[krany]

So i have been reading the toyota bible and saw the bobbed runner threads and I have decided it's the direction that I want to go. Some inspirational pics

I am thinking, keep the 6" springs and get some 37's, ruf, And trimmed fenders which I may do anyways.

 

[864runner]

Why did you have to post that? Now I wanna bob mine. Hahaha

 

[iamsparticus]

I think all us 4runner guys should have a saws all and bobbing party and bob all our runners hahaha except there is a little more involved in doing mine

 

[sixstringsteve]

once you bob a runner it's only a matter of months before it's a buggy.

 

[864runner]

I'm only a flop away from a buggy anyway. hahaha

Exactly steve what better way to convince the wife that i should buggy out the 4runner?:greg:
