So I called the three closets Toyota dealers looking for a price on U-joints. Here what I found...Quite interesting!
Titus will Tacoma (where I bought the truck 13 years ago) $81.00 for one!
Doxon In Auburn $74.75
Toyota of Puyallup $ 97.72!
So I go online and find an online Toyota OEM Parts house and find them for $50.00 each. Wow, quite a difference. Just currious I look to see where their located and find out it's Titus Wills address! I call the number and ask if they are Titus Will and they said yes. So I ask if I could walk in and get the same price.. NO! Must order online but can pick up at store. So I'm playing their game for the price savings. Seems silly to me the mark up on these! I did find out the MSRP is only $69.75
I have bought non OEM U-joints on my last toy and they were crap!

Good Morning PSAR!
I see a couple of the missing have shown up. Good to know they are alive and kicking.
More nice fall type weather around here, cattle were moved to the other side of the road and are having a problem figuring out where to go for water. Keep standing around and bellowing at where they used to water while the new spot is just a couple hundred yards away. About half of them found it yesterday but I guess they aren't passing the word. Sure remind me of people a lot at times. Dumb animals.
Present company excepted of course. 8>)
SWMBO and I are celebrating our 48th anniversary today. Poor girl! That'll teach her to show up for the wedding.
Have a great day everyone, we're going to.

I had him sign the truck back to me and I'm considering either fixing it or just selling it. We had replaced the clutch and brakes in the past year, so I'm not willing to part with it just yet.
I don't know what I'm going to do with it if I fix it. Thinking about just keeping it for those occasions where a small truck fits the need.
