Remove your coilover and your bumpstop, and cycle the suspension until the upper uniball binds on the misalignment spacer and try to turn the tire. You will be surprised, very surprised. I can got lock-lock at full bump now without touching a thing.

How wide are those wheel spacers ? 3" ? Those cant be helping your wheel bearing issues....

2" Spacers on the rear to match the front trackwidth and get them away from the shocks. The issue on the new Tacomas is front wheel bearings not the rear. Havent changed the rear since the disc brake swap...oh yeah I rear rear discs too. Forgot to mention that. Standard chevy swap with custom brackets.

I don't understand why so many are going through wheel bearing so fast.....I'm running 36/12.50 TSL SX's, that are probably larger than the under sized KM2's, and I have only replaced the front passenger side bearing in 100,000 hard miles. Still on the Driverside stock bearing.

:0 what?! My wheel bearings on 31" safari tsr's lasted 2 months!!

Wheel bearings don't last when you drive through 1-4 feet of mud on almost every trip out. Nor do they last when axle shafts are bent for months at a time due to a false claim of "No limit straps needed" Sure.. Only Mark will get this unfortunately

Something is definitely wrong there. I get at least a year out of every bearing, usually more. That was on 35 MTRs.

Got limit straps now...but they are still in the box.

Yeah unfortunately not alot of rocks local to me so as much as I hate it I sometimes play in the mud. Its like nailing a fat chick, you always regret it later.

I think you can not understand that what I told you before. Let me know you that I want to buy a Toyota, price is no matter, so would you like to tell me that where I have to go for buy it? Any information would be more helpful to me.

You can't go buy one like this. You buy a stock one and spend alot of time and $$$ in upgrades.

Hyena, if you want to sell me yours then tell me how old is it? You know it is very important to know everything before buy it, that's why I ask you. One more thing is that price is no matter.

[06silverback]

I'll sell you my SAS'd 06 for that

Holy shit. I'm on 35" MTRs now and my LF bearing has already developed play after 1500 miles. It's going to be toast by 4000. Did you use Toyota bearings? I'm trying napa because I can get them cheap.

i just ordered another spare off ebay. Be sure you are torquing the axle nut to the proper spec as this controls the preload in the wheel bearing. Too much or too little will lead to its demise quicker...

Another thing I do to help them last longer is to put a coat of Mobil 1 syn grease on the all the seals, and around the seal where the cv goes into the hub assembly.

Yeah, not making it to SETO, wish I could, I would show you around the place.

What about something in Nov or Dec? Maybe Harlan or Windrock?

Not windrock, unless It's super fun when we go for SETO. We should hit harlan.

oh I feel like I can make the decision for Mark since he likes to wheel with me so he has someone to make fun of

You'll have fun at Windrock if you run the right trails.....if you get in a mild group then it will be a boring time.

Stay on the double blacks and single blacks. Check the Windrock thread in Pirates South East section for trail recommendations. The place is so big that you can't waste time on the gravel roads.

we'll figure out something as it gets closer.
