Toyota 4x4 Pickup DIY Project, Tie Rod Ends, Idler Arm, Pitman Arm, Steering Stabilizer, Alignment

[@Prexal123]

I really love how you are able to help yourself in that situation and just fix things like the alignment of the wheels without the need of a mechanic. That's genuinely an impressive trait of yours

[@orangetractorguy8201]

Gotta love the Band-Aid box cameo!

[@Stepdad606]

Got a 4wd 1989 v6 Toyota pickup absolutely love it working on tighning up the steering

[@clintmoffet435]

I'm dying over here! I'm restoring my 92. I've had it for 22 years. I own that exact same orange grinder.... 😆

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Hehe! Thanks for the comment Clint. Good luck on the project. They are awesome trucks 🍻🍻

[@jackryan2451]

Great video. Love seeing how the Toyota's coming along. Great buy and I appreciate your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thank you Jack. Much appreciated 👍🍻

[@DylanLink]

The grinder 🤘🏽😂😂

[@gorillaninja78]

She’s a gem! 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@02blackLightning]

The older style ball joint seals have a hole in it to let water out. Very rare you see it nowadays but its to let water drain out or it can be pushed out when you grease the joint. Alot of people don't know this nowadays.

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thanks, good info. Do you mean the upper and lower ball joints?

[@02blackLightning]

@@JimmyMeatwhistle any type of joint that has a boot on it. All my dump trucks still even have that style. Brand new joints you buy with a boot. Spin the boot so the hole can drain if possible

[@scottc3165]

@@02blackLightning Damn, that's good info. Well noted.

[@stevearita3267]

Totally Cool! This video is great to watch, you are quite the mechanic, doing the "caveman" front end alignment, not to mention when doing these repairs require a great deal of "swearing", had me in stitches! All things said...the truck is looking very nice, love the paint job too! Too bad the cassette tape deck no longer works, reminded me of the last time I had a cassette deck, some 30+ years ago! Your videos make me want to go out and buy a beater Toyota 4x4 pickup too, but not sure my wife would go for that. Alas...I'll have to live my memories and desires vicariously through your videos... am so looking forward to your next project on the pickup! Thanks for doing the videos!

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Haha, thanks Steve! These old trucks are awesome and it's definitely gratifying fixing them up. So far so good! More truck updates soon and more swearing 👍🍻

[@personious_k]

thanks!

I'm with you on that! 👍🍻

I had a 86 toy, love those trucks!

my daily driver is an 1989 toyota 4x4 pickup regular cab with matching red leer camper shell and i love my truck its fun and just a perfect vehicle

[@yeahman1975]

Yes a good curse jar to help the beer fund

[@romo2517]

looks good love it!

[@Franco0326]

Bro your truck is amazing looks in good condition. I also have a Toyota but mine is from 85 with a long bed in blue.

[@adamdaley8090]

Great truck. Apparently I was only suggested your cabin videos. 90% of the vehicles I've owned have been Toyota's. Rad idea for the box. Do what fits your needs.

[@Scottstunts]

Nice Zt knife dude!

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thanks 👍

[@xanny7373]

bout to take the same thing on my 89 4x4. First time doing this type. Wish me luck lol

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Good luck 👍

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

@@xanny7373 damn, get well soon and get those parts on 👍🍻 No rush

[@StuartJuggernaut]

Would be curious to hear if you find a way to replace/repair the centerlink. I have an 89 3vze with a crooked centerlink like yours.

[@ybirch9735]

Great to see all the "love" you are pouring into your beater Toyota pickup! Haven't heard of that "cave man" alignment trick used before . . . learned something. One source for Toyota parts for late model Toyota trucks that I've used in the past, is a supplier called Auto8 out of Australia www.auto8.com.au (Australia's version of Princess Auto). Thousands of old Toyota pickups still running "down under", cause they don't rust so fast down there, and as a result, parts both original and after market abound. Prices are typically great, almost zero currency exchange issues, and shipping is super fast. Last order I placed with them was for a new replacement alternator for my 1991 Toyota Hilux Pickup. Arrived 7 days later in Nova Scotia all the way from Australia, via Australian Post and Canada Post . . . incredible! Part fit perfectly and runs to this day (cost me about $400 all in, including freight).

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Wow great info there Mr. Birch. I'm going to check them out today. Thanks for the info, much appreciated🍻🍻

[@McCutch88]

Are the inner tie rods the same on both sides or are they specific right/left

[@yeahman1975]

So surprised about the ball joints. With that toyota front suspension they tend to go out same time as the boots. Yes pitman arms, bearings, races, just did a similar rebuild on a 1996 t100

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thanks for the comments. Wow the T100 is a Rare Bird that's for sure. I was looking for one the other day believe it or not and I can't find one anywhere. In Canada that is anyway.

[@DylanLink]

Also I got a 91 toyota pick up 2WD and In need to replace everything in my front. Any requests on the brand?

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

In these weird times, anything you can find will work. I'm having a hard time finding parts in general

[@the_7th]

Try looking up the brand Sankei 555. Made in Japan.

[@JammyCrackcorn]

Where did you buy your parts from?? My 1992 truck k needs these parts also!!

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Local parts store, Amazon has some stuff as well 👍

[@dc5723]

Thanks for sharing. DId you get OEM parts or 3rd party and where did you get 'em from?

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Hi and thanks for the comment. 3rd party. Actually having trouble finding Toyota parts for it. At the moment looking for a sector shaft seal. The original Toyota part number is 90312-36001 and it's no longer available from Toyota. So have a replacement coming from SFK

[@Franco0326]

Hey if you ever find a new center links for Sale let me know or buy two and I’ll even pay you a little extra for it. It would be nice because I broke my and I had to weld it back to together

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Will do 👍
