    If i am reading this right i should have 4:56 gears...I know ARB makes the best locker in the world but I don't that that kinda bank roll. What would be the best combo for front and rear lockers?
    I do have aisen manual hubs up front. This weekend I am installing Billy 5100s all around and gonna black out bumper, grille and wheels.

    You're going to want a selectable up front so you can turn in inclimate weather.

    I have a job! A damn good one at that and would dare say I make more than most. How ever I also have 3 car payments, a mortgage, 3 kids and a wife. This tacoma is my toy that I like to play with on weekends and I do all my own wrenching. So before you tell someone to get a job you might check yourself. I been a member on here for a year now and have never been rude or inconsiderate to anyone.
    Monte, I have utmost respect for you and your build, I only ask the same in return.

    Lol didn't mean offense. Was just stating the obvious.


    If it is going to be a trail only rig then detroits are nice too.

    If your going to drive it to the trail and around town..nothing tops an arb.
