I've had to cancel my plans to go to Moab, but I'm still taking a week off of work in the hopes that I'll be moving back into my house.
The 12th is going to be the only weekend in May that I'll be able to Off-Road. This weekend is out due to still not having my Rear-end replaced. The 20th I'm taking Terra on the Thomas the Train ride.
I'll make this suggestion at the Meeting tonight if you all don't mind. Wow, I get to go offroading and it is an official run. Yeehaa!!!

I might not be there Bumping along on dirt road today I noticed some noticeable squeaking from left front suspension. Happens only on many small bumps, nothing during regular driving. Doesn't feel like too great of an idea to torture my X any more.

Mikhail I'm sure it probably is the "Famous" Hood squeak from the adjusters.
I won't know if I can do this until the last minute, as I still have not got the X back from being repaired. :rolleyes:

I can't make it, as I have to go to a graduation party for a coworker. On the bright side, I should receive my Shrock bumpers before the next Xcursion.

I'm not gonna be there. 4Runner isn't ready and have the final stuff to move out of my old place. Once it sells (Should be closing at the end of this month) I'll have alot more expendable income for toys and wheeling tho. So looking forward to a fun filled 2nd half of the year.

Ok, Shan, Kaelyn and I will be coming out and camping.
I also just got my tie rod ends in, so I'm hoping to bring them out and install them at the campsite. Adam, any thoughts on how long it will take without air tools, and what I need?
- jack/stands - Normal sized wrenches - Rubber mallet
Anything else special needed?
T-Ray, can you update your first post in the thread with the final details on where we are meeting, when, and what the general plan is for the weekend?
Thanks!! Mark

Since you're not reusing the tie rod ends except for maybe a trail spare, I'd recommend picking up a pickle fork and or a BFH to use.
Are you sure you want to try and do that in the dirt and then drive it without an alignment coming home?

No, don't use a pickle fork.
I'll show you guys how to get them off.
Just need a 3lb hammer. No damage to TRE's that way.
You'll need a 22mm socket, a pair of pliers for the cotter pins, a 22mm wrench for the adjustors, and if you have stock adjusters, an 11mm wrench for those. Also, bring a tape measure so we can measure exactly where the adjuster nuts are...you can put it back togehter with the new ends with the same measurements, and you'll be really close on alignment. I'll explain to you how to set toe yourself when you get home, and you won't need a trip to the alignment shop.
Bust those adjuster nuts loose before removing the tierods. Bring WD40 or other penetrant.
