Getting my sliders and frame plates burned in next week, and hopefully getting my skids ordered this week. Hopefully I’ll be out there soon!

welcome! what part of town you in?
K, so i changed out my u-joints and carrier bearing this weekend, and now if i stomp on it a bit from a stop, theres clunks from the back of the truck, double checked and everything is tight, if i stomp it while its moving no issues, just when its at a stop...
Any suggestions? Not sure what to do besides take it to a mechanic...
Excuse my ignorance, the carrier bearing supports the d shaft, right, on tacos? If the ujoint was damaged during the press work it would clunk too. Just something I know personally. I’m cool with you stopping by if ya need a second looker.
To help diagnose, put on stands and run vehicle, be unbelievable careful. A helper is helpful.
Maybe axle wrapNot sure that would work, cause as i said, once its rolling it doesnt seem to be an issue, its onmy starting from a complete stop, im assuming it has something to do with the amount of torque, but i could be wrong, i dont claim to be a mechanic by any stretch of imagination lol

This^^^^ check your u bolts on your leaf springs and check for any abnormal wear on the ends of your leafs.Not sure that would work, cause as i said, once its rolling it doesnt seem to be an issue, its onmy starting from a complete stop, im assuming it has something to do with the amount of torque, but i could be wrong, i dont claim to be a mechanic by any stretch of imagination lol

Sorry I never replied! Been pretty busy helping another buddy get his truck figured out. Shoot me a Dm sometime and I'd be happy to take a look. I would definitely check those u bolts and leafs though.Hey alex, thought ya disappeared!?!
Got the sliders and frame plates burned in today courtesy of the one man workshop Chad (@BashFab on IG)
Couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Probably going to clear coat the frame plates and rattle can the sliders this weekend.
Just needs skids and the 4x4 is trail ready!
