Hey thanks man!

Gonna keep my toys under it for a while! Can't justify throwing tons under it now. Not till shes a buggy atleast!

Here are a few pics of the other carnage. Few dents and a crunched inner and outer fender and I pushed back my core support!

Well it looks like over the next year I'll be able to save up and get my hands on some TG Six Shooter knuckles and arms. Gonna use ARP bolts on them as well.. Hopefully that will keep this from happening again.

Also have a few other upgrades planned. Want to do a disc setup in the back and maybe some 4.7's in the rear case. Will see if time/money permits tho. Still have to buy myself a trailer when I get home.

Here are some of the bearing pics from my teardown. Don't think this is how they are supposed to look.. Watcha think!

The pins on the steering arm seem to bee intact and unharmed and the studs broke low and tore out threads. Looks like the new knuckles will definately be needed.

Here is a quick pic of the D-side knuckle. Haven't pull the P-side off yet. Will do today. Do you think this one can be saved? I'm going to clean it up a little and inspect it all.

Thanks for the offer, but Mark m. here on the forum hooked me up with a fresh set. I will be tearing them down today and cleaning everything up.

If I get a chance to wire in my welder I will definately do a fifth stud.. Need to get my hands on some scrap steel..

wrong answer.

It should have been, "Im gonna wire my welder so I can do a fifth stud".

Scrap steel? you need two bolts and a chunk of angle iron. I will give you the bolts and angle for FREE. Just get it done.:beer:

Well here let me refrase this... WHEN I wire my welder in that will be the first thing I do! Budget for the truck is running low and still have to find me some bearings.. Gonna call Toyota tomorrow.

Well the truck rolls again. Dangerous to drive as I still have the calipers zip-tied up!

Ran out of time and funds so no 5th stud yet. I'll do those when I come back from this tour. Still have to tear-down and install my Longs again, lube everything, drill for 5th stud and torque EVERYTHING down.

Thanks to all who had a hand in parts for me! You guys saved me!
