10 hours of blood, sweat, and not going to lie some tears. Damn you rusted U- bolts!

[Clutch]

I probably could've gotten the parts if our "auto parts" shop actually had parts. I refer to our NAPA as "No Auto Parts Available" O' Riley's told me I would be 10'days out. I think I'll start ordering everything I need two months ahead of time.

One of the problems being in a small town, surprised you can't get parts fast from Reno. It is relatively quick here, if they don't have it in stock...we have two Toyota dealerships...plus close to Phoenix and LA. If the local dealer doesn't have it, they will the next day.

Don't know why it took so long for the driveshaft...he told me it was a rare part...I am am "like" really...it is a Tacoma!? He already had the driveshaft..so I was at his mercy.
I tried 3 times to get the front axel seal to stop leaking...broke down and took it to a differential shop...he tried twice (even tearing down the whole diff) it was there for 2.5 weeks... it wasn't until I asked on here...that we realized the reman axel was out of spec...had to buy a brand new one, and on the 6th tried it worked! That was a royal pain in the ********.

What should of taken a week...was a month and a half. I was a wee bit frustrated there at the end.
