I got mine in Oct '04, the 2nd batch of trucks that were delivered to Long Beach. I seriously couldn't wait to get this truck. I had the TSB done on the rear leafs squeaking then the actual recall to replace them, the recall for the parking brake, the fix for the compass and temperature (capacitor coming loose) and the TSB for the tailgate.

So far mine has been good to me too but I too need to have my suspension refreshed and my UCA's regreased. I also added an extra leaf when I put the rear shocks in. The Deavers are nice too!

About your right bearings, I know the right ones are known for going out first. I could hear some sort of 'buzzing sound' at low speeds (around 15-30 mph) coming from the right side but the shop I had them check it say they are ok!?!

Is your right bearing shot? I've never replaced them and I believe the 05+ are bolt on bearings and don't have to be pressed like the 01-04 right!?!

what happened was when my truck was in the collision, they replaced the driver's side bearing (along with everything else on that side) and then my passenger side bearing started giving my passengers a nice foot massage.

unfortunately, they are press-on. http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168601

My oldest car is a 84 Toyota Corolla SR5 but I switched the gauge cluster to a GTS way back when I did the motor swap so don't know whats the real millage.
My daily car is a 95 Infinity G20 has 183,*** miles on it but now I have a company car so I don't use it that much for 3 yrs now.
Our Family car is a 05 Honda accord V6 only have 80,*** miles on it

That's a nice DIY! Mine isn't that bad that it vibrates, it just makes a sound at low speeds but I might think that might be my diff drops.

How long have you been driving with a bad bearing?

My '93 Ranger had 146k miles when I bought it and well over 200k+ when I was done with it. I screwed up when I swapped the gauge cluster out for one with a tach and 6 digit odometer and so I never knew how many miles it actually had. But I junked it when money was tight and it needed a clutch, tires, head, and ball joints. It still had plenty of life left and I'm never doing that again .

That's probably because KBB assumes you did mostly highway mileage, which is far less strenuous on the engine and transmission.

LOL Mine too, but still doesn't reflect the real value of a turbo supra:
Real value is auto TT93-95is around $20-$24 96-98 $24-$28
Real value of a TT 6sp 93-95 around $24-$27 96-98 $28-$34
