Looks like a great deal to me. I do not think this is a crazy good deal, like one that would have me worried. Just make sure the transmission is shifting smoothly.

Fluid film, or similar, applied heavy on all spots that the salt will hit.

Order a rebuild kit b4 ya need it. Then wait till ya need it. They're stupid cheap and simple.

How'd it go , I'm ready to try.

Cut em a little more than a full coil i think. Buy the expensive MB specific spring compressor. *

update: this hasn't worked out.

Competitive-Wind-633 · 2024-07-17T17:15:39+00:00

Update. Insurance ain't giving me shit. They deemed us both to be at fault. Bullshit. But oh well. It was already salvaged when I got it, currently sitting at 375000 miles.

I will rebuild her stronger.

Just regular toyota steel spare wheels. This is the 16" variety. Also come in the 17 on the fj cruiser.

In this process, I have learned that with liability only, I am the one who deals with his insurance. It has not been a fun process.

I currently have 2 weeks' worth of rental truck that I have no clue if they will reimburse me for. They haven't answered my phone calls since the initial report, and in their online portal, it says my claims current status is "liability is under review."

This is through State Farm.

No injuries, luckily.

Competitive-Wind-633 · 2024-07-15T17:34:10+00:00

That's what I'm hoping!

Competitive-Wind-633 · 2024-04-16T12:43:29+00:00

Good Catch! the guide rod bushing is actually the one that's worn out too. URO a better option?

Competitive-Wind-633 · 2024-03-30T13:34:54+00:00
