Thanks man! yea it has defiantly taken a lot to get it back in the dirt. But it has been 200% worth it..You can ask anyone one at our camp. I pulled it off the trailer at about 12:30 am popped the lightbar up did a quick cruise to make sure it was good to go. And then ran it about 1 am - 330 am only stopping for co driver changes never even shut the damn thing off until i grenaded my 3rd member lol good times I cant wait to go back out.

Back window is easy do it yourself

This back window was not easy. We got it but it was a bitch!
It had a lot to do with cutting the roof off and plating to the cab.

Traded the Bodj fenders last night

Pretty stoked they match up with my new hood.

dude help me out with v6 5 lugger rear ends. My gearing options and third member options are making me go fucking crazy.

Only1Mikey showed me this yesterday

Erik's Toyota Differential info

My axle is out of an s-runner. It's more than likely going to a take some grinding welding and drilling to make work but I like to go the hard route.

all 2wd and 4wd T100's, '00-06 Tundra's, and ?? Sequoia's use a newer/stronger 8" 2-pinion diff. Tacoma 4x4's and Tacoma PreRunner's that don't come with the electric locker (aka "non-TRD), as well as V6 Tacoma 4x2's also came with this diff.
This diff commonly and mistakenly called an 8.4" or 8.25" diff, possibly to imply its extra strength. The ring gear actually measures 8". The extra strength of this diff comes from the bearing cap/truss and large diameter pinion gear shaft.
 
Winch is in. Pretty Stoked on finally having that installed that's only been sitting on the shelf for over a year now. Once the skid plate is on you will hardly even notice the winch.

Started fixing the hood and fenders rain put a damper on that though. Lots left to do before the clean up!

Put over 100 dirt miles on truck this weekend at the clean up in barstow. With no issues. Other than on the way home developed a slight exhaust leak and got a rear flat from a nail in the side wall

managed a whopping 42 mph in the rough down on upper main. Jumping ever other whoop. Need to swap springs out and do some serious tuning.

Elliot quick question are you running the stock 7.5 toyota axel? It looks like you beat that thing and it holds up. I want to try and find a 4spd 22re, I heard those came with 4.10's cool little upgrade for people with 5spd 22re gears..

for the time being yea i'm running the 7.5 with 4.88s... So far I've exploded one carrier into pieces. I picked up an 8 inch for a value a month or so ago. probably install it some time after the Glamis new years trip.


Trip this weekend was epic 155 dirt miles from barstow to giant rock to barstow..
New 500 LB coils/ vavling are amazing it rides so much better

Got stuck twice lol
My Muffler ? um its gone
