It wasn't easy to get the deer to stand there while he cut the tree down.
If you search a bit you'll find it's not terribly uncommon.
Musta been national work on your Toyota week this week...
Yesterday was front strut replacement day on my Tacoma.
What a chore.
Between the rust and loctite some doof used the nuts, having to cut the top studs off to get the assembly out because the press in studs spun out because of the loctite I didn't know about and having to improvise a spring press to disassemble/reassemble the struts it took nearly 6 hours to do both sides.
All that and the only thing really wrong with the old shocks was the eye bushings were shot.
About a month ago I did all 4 ball joints, CV axles, CV axle support bearing, seal and brake rotors/pads and I don't believe it took that long....

Mine has SPC adjustable upper control arms (which means high quality ball joints) so uppers we good but lowers were loose. Not as loose as I imagined but as we all know, when they separate it is catastrophic.
It came with the UCAs and Bilstein front struts with Sonoran Steel springs all around. It has Tacoma knuckles/CVs/hubs from a manual hub donor.
Sway bars are deleted. People get emotional about that but honestly the slight trade in cornering (snicker it’s a truck) is more than made up for in ride smoothness.
It’s my second factory E-locker 4runner so I was lucky twice.
My SIL has a Taco like yours, I love them all
Good thing they mounted a Sig, with any other pistol, that structure behind the trigger may have kept the gun from firing.
Another wouldbe assassin thwarted! 
I am sure about the carbon.
There are three things in a man's life that are designed to be RUN WET AND LUBED, for optimal flawless function.

Nothing wrong with how they look from a foot either.So I did some more planned work on the 4Runner.
New lower ball joints, genuine Toyota (anything else is peeing into the wind)

Took the faux beadlock bolts out of the wheels, drilled the holes smooth and sanded , sanded, sanded. They are beat up pretty good but are acceptable now. New dark bronze metallic paint and matte clear simulate the color of the newer TRD wheels I see sometimes. Look great from 10’

Nice.
Actually, it was Gen Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
My wife and her sister would bribe their brother with candy to shut the hell up when they hurt him while they were playing.
Me too. This sounds like a great time. I’ll bring some DMT crystals too
So, mmo is your preferred lubricant for number three on the above mentioned list of things in a man's life that need to run wet and we'll lubed??

How do you know what your SILs (sister in law) taco looks like?
And, who doesn't like tacos...?
1988 or 89 a tornado destroyed a K-mart on the road between Raleigh and Durham…. It was raining Rayon!

I had a '70 Buick deuce and a quarter. Convertible. Gold with wire wheels and a beige interior. It was my life.
Tell me it had curb feelers or it didn’t count.
Weirton, WV. A former thriving steel town... brought to you by 'Free Trade.'
AND, the liberals/EPA............
No. Number 3 has an automatic oiler, if you know how to prime it.
I hate to burst your guys’ bubble but there’s nothing “free trade” about the us economy. Or the eu economy. And very little about the asian economy. All of this shit is manipulated in some way
True... but when we let other nations tariff our goods and don't do anything about theirs... then we get taken advantage of.
Free Trade is probably not the right term... though is the catch-all these days. Maybe more realistic is "reciprocal trade." Mirroring duties, tariffs, inspections, bans, etc.
AND recognizing that government-subsidized industries/slave labor/artificially-manipulated currencies like the Yuan, dumping, etc. deserve to be addressed as special cases.
Then again, we are, as a nation, addicted to spending money we don't have on shit we don't need from WalMart... Money that goes to arming China.
Whatever the case is... it ain't working as it is. And the American worker/taxpayer is getting screwed with taxes and devalued currency/mortgaged future. I don't have the 'right' answer. But doing what we've been doing since the '70's has gotten us ass-raped. So we need to do something else. Or the whole country is going to look like the industrial desert that is our former rustbelt....

I heard recently “you can’t wear out something that makes its own grease”
The one I really remember was the one that went through North Raleigh in Nov or Dec ‘88. My first experience with a Tornado. The skies at dusk were like nothing I ever saw. Dark purple/black. Air was so thick you almost had to swim through it.
88 and 89 had two big tornados and Hugo. Hugo was my first hurricane and we had a hurricane party in Fayetteville. It was a bit south and west of us… but it hit hard enough that i decided hurricanes were to be taken seriously and hurricane parties were a bad idea!!!
My first two years in NC were bad weather time! IIRC there was also a blizzard in early ‘89 in Raleigh. Bunch of us had tickets to see comedian Stephen Wright and drove up anyway to see him.

After Hugo I went to South Carolina with a group to offer aid. It was truly a devastating storm there.
I heard a very long time ago...
It's a wound that never heals.
The more ya rub it, the better it feels.
Ain't enough soap, this side of hell, to ever remove that codfish smell.
Yet, we males spend our lives trying to get in it any way we can
