New to us 94' RRC LWB, Green...........as it should be.

It's the rubber cap on the face of the drive flange. Just clean up the cap and the nose of the flange with white spirit or brake cleaner and push the cap back on with a smear of RTV silicone sealant, and then make sure that the axle's breather tube is clear and unkinked. It's no big deal.

flush the coolant and 180 degree thermostat.

figured since I was going to have the hubs off I'd do the wheel bearings too. Parts on the way.

Took the air dam off and was looking at the springs yesterday. Seems a bit of a mis-matched pair. It has OME 2761 up front and 2762 out back. Correct me if I'm wrong (John), but I want a set of 2751 for the front. I will be putting a bumper/winch on and the truck seems to be a little "nose down" in its current configuration. The other ? is, will I be able to get the 235/85-16 under this truck with what I believe is a 2" lift? Have heard yes and no on this so any advise is welcome.

Any pics of your RRC LWB with the same lift and the 235's would be good too.

Thanks!

IMAGE_106.jpgIMAGE_107.jpg This is my RRC with the Heavy Duty OME springs and 235/85 tires. I got about 2" of lift and never had any clearance problems. I thought I'd add a winch/bumper that would need to be supported by these springs, but never have done it and now the RRC needs to go to make room for my Series. Debating on removing the suspension or leaving it with the truck when it goes. I have been very happy with this configuration overall.

Thanks Charo. Leave that suspension in there for the next guy, I'm sure he will appreciate it. Probably not worth the time it would take to rip out anyway. Did you have to adjust your steering stops to keep the 235's from rubbing.

[Charo]

They will rub a little bit at full lock but it wasn't enough that I bothered to fix it. It seems that I did adjust some steering stops once, but I'm thinking that was on my 70 series Land Cruiser when I put 245's on it. Been too long ago!

Looking good!
