How did you paint your chrome rear bumper? Awesome tundra!!!!
@suewavang1538Ай бұрын
Thank you. Currently it is just painted with plasti dip. All you have to do is clean it off with glass cleaner and spray. However, if you want a more permanent solution, you could clean and scuff the bumper with a red scotch brite and dish soap. Then you can use truck bed liner spray. Should hold up nice and strong.

@suewavang153811 ай бұрын
I'm glad it helped. I honestly cannot remember how the bearings go into the case. Or I'm not exactly sure which one you're talking about. If you're talking about the tapered ones, they just get pressed into the main and counter shafts and then just sit on the race inside the case. If you're talking about the bearings by the axle/diff (honestly can't remember if there were bearings there or not) then I don't remember removing them so if they're sliding in and out then it's probably not normal.

My carrier bearing was pretty beat and worn. Now, I did a 1” block lift in the rear a year ago and it came with new u-bolts and 9/16 nuts that I thought I torqued down tightly, but sure enough on inspection I found that two nuts were totally missing ☠️☠️ on the passenger side, and the other two that were still there were very loose. My rear end was basically just hanging there. Thank God I found the issue before the entire axle came free.
