So, last night I went back to my co-worker's house (the one with the lift) where we attempted to replace the U-joints, carrier bearing, transmission mount and transmission seal. After some swearing, many sockets, a press, anvil, sledgehammer, midget, lube and a plasma cutter, we got the U-joints & carrier bearing replaced. However, after some bad eyeballing on my part, we pulled the transmission seal only to discover I received the wrong seal at the auto parts store. So Aces sat in his shop overnight. While we were doing the u-joints, his brother-in-law and nephew showed up and took this iPotato photo:

I'm heading back over tonight to finish up the seal (went and got one from the Toyota dealership), transmission mount & re-install the driveshaft. Hopefully it won't take too long.

With how low the car is, it's been awesome. Better than trying to jack it up in my driveway.

and laying in whatever happens to be in your driveway or what your driveway is made of.

It's an aggregate driveway, nice and bumpy and makes for a helluva time on my knees.
