With our big trip just a week ago, I've got a HUGE list of things to fix on my 1989 Toyota Pickup. In this video I rebuild the front solid axle, fix some wiring, re-seal the rear end, and more!

I appreciate the fact that you work on your own rig, I quit watching some youtubers that just take there stuff to a shop to install parts.

@DirtGarage 3 жыл бұрын

I appreciate that! I enjoy working on my truck as much as the wheeling. I feel you can also take more pride in your build if it's done by your own hands.

Ive been watching a huge amount of your videos the past few days. I want to point out that the production quality is absolutely TOP NOTCH. its extremely apparent to me the love you put into your editing on top of your trucks. the nostaligia i feel from back in the day working on my 86 toyota comes out when watching so keep it up man. I'm about sold on getting back into this

8" thirdmember with matching gear ratio to front, knuckles, spindles, birfields, hubs, locking hubs, FJ60 rotors, V6 calipers, high steer kit, knuckle sandwich / axle seal kit. Unfortunately just the housing is a small bit haha.

@@DirtGarage Sorry to be a knob about this but how do I know which one to get or do I have to tear down my rear end first in order to make sure? Also, I've posted questions on BC 4X4 and so far got nothing. I have another question about rims for my 89 Hilux. I put on Chev 16" spokers and I don't like the way the tires are inboard. I'd like a wider stance and possibly include some fender flares. Could you assist me on what rims I should try and get and where to get them? I had to grind a bit off my calipers and they've worked fine for years but I just don't like the narrowness of them overall especially when going to taller tires. I'm in the Kootenays and sure wish there was a place I could drive to, show what I've got and ask a bunch of questions and maybe get more advice on things I should do to improve my ride.

If you completely went through a front axle on Toyota 4x4 and everything is good a year down the road And then you wanted to regear Would you replace Inner axle seals ,,there are no leaks now,,so my thinking is pull everything and do ring and pinion and just put it all back together What’s your thoughts

@DirtGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I'd do inner axle seals. So easy to do while your are there. I'm surprised you got a year out of them though!
