Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the truck is completely drivable right now tho, and I love it. I finally got a weber 32/36 carb and it's great, starts up faster than my 08 taco does!

I got some new rotors and pads up front, new drums and shoes in the back. Plus 80 ft of 1-3/4 .120 wall tube for some new tube bumpers!

If you get a rear lift you will want to get new shocks as well

I think a 6in lift and 35s is about as high as a taco should be, after that I don't care for them

Yeah that's what you get for a mid size, if you want a lot more room get a full size. I drive around with 5 full sized people in my truck all the time and they don't ever complain so. I'm happy with it

Also check the front diff actuator

I have a 6in lift with 35s and stock wheels with 1.25in spacers. Only problem is the wheels arnt really wide enough for the tires

So after jacking the truck up I found that the passenger side wheel bearing is TRASHED and the driver is not far behind it so I went and picked these up for 200 bucks

That's what I thought. Sad thing is this shop was highly recommended around here

I'm pulling the diff and I guess I will re build it myself this time. He told me something like my truck has a better diff in it than the normal ones, that they only put this diff in a couple trucks. Do you know anything about that?

So does that mean I have to take the axles apart and leave the end all bolted in? Will I be okay to drive like that for a while if I have to

So my front diff on my 08 Tacoma was leaking last summer so I had it re build and paid 550 bucks for that. Now I was just driving down the road and it started making some weird noises and I could feel it grinding. So I got home and drained the oil from it and it was a weird color grey. So I'm...

If you put in a locker you will have to remove the limited slip chunk. I have always liked arb air lockers, that's what I would put on my truck if I put a locker on it

I'll try switching some more but I have tried that quite a bit. I could never feel it go into 4x4 either.

So recently my 4x4 light stays on the whole time I'm driving, and when I switch it to 4x4 it stays blinking and won't go into 4x4, any ideas what the problem could be? 2008 double cab

Front brakes on 2nd gens are very easy to change, because you can just slide the pads out with out having to pull the caliper. I'm not sure about 1st gens but my 79 is the same way

Working on some rock sliders tonight, I am just making some temporary ones until I can get the dyes to make them out of pipe, I got all this material for free. Here are some more pictures as well. And thanks guys!!

Several of my buddies have recently gotten gtos, ls1 and ls2 and they all love them.

Yeah that would be a mean set up
