Those are mega sturdy (like you don't already know). The front knuckles ooze on all of those. If it doesn't kill you inside or leave spots in the driveway, save the time and trouble. It's rust prevention.Just bought a beater for the mountains, hunting and whatnot.

Dude lied a bunch about the car. I don't know why people do that, just don't. Though he painted himself as an able mechanic, it's pretty evident he sucked. I haven't wrenched on cars for almost 20 years so I was out of practice in picking up on the clues.
I didn't care - I was getting it for a price where I could sell it for parts and walk away with $2K profit.
I've fixed three things he couldn't seem to figure out. Nothing major. Going to need to replace seals and bearings on the front axle. Changing rear axle, tranny and engine oils tomorrow. As soon as I find my OBDII instrument, I'll hook up and see why the check engine light came on.
Glad to be wrenching on cars again, it's a satisfying endeavor.

The left front seal is pretty bad. Scraped off 1/2" of gunk, then degreased the area. Right front is what I would consider normal. Drained the front axle and refilled today. There was only 1.5 pints in the Diff where there should be ~3.8 quarts. The chips on the magnet were negligible, which was a relief.Those are mega sturdy (like you don't already know).

Dude, you live in God's country. Looking at the horizon, you could be anywhere in SE ID, Twin Falls and points East and North. If you had City of Rocks in the background..... You are hauling a long range rig with you, I hope....I think I might finally be a grown up. Ive owned about 40 cars over the past couple decades. Bought this car strictly for responsible, logical work purposes a couple weeks ago. I'll have almost 3000 miles on it when I get home tomorrow. Had 204k on the clock when I bought it and Toyota quality is gonna let me take it to 400k. Power everything, premium sound system, AWD, and 35mpg makes it hard to hate.
From what I've heard, those LC engines are just about broken in around that mileage.Just bought a beater for the mountains, hunting and whatnot.

Very cool! I love my Edge... no turbos but still gives plenty at 285. Dare I say too fun/comfortable to drive... since I bought it in October of last year I ve spun 35,000 miles across 15 states.2016 Ford Edge Sport twin turbo. Going to get mods soon to get it up to 375+ hp
