    I'm running the URD stage 3 clutch and love it. I killed my clutch at about 220K miles and only because I installed the supercharger and the old factory clutch couldn't handle the extra power.

    I helped a friend replace a clutch on an earlier toyota truck a couple years ago. I recall a good swivel joint adaptor was critical to getting to a few hard to reach bell housing bolts. Not too bad a job. We did bust the cheapo 3/8" swivel joint and had to run for a 1/2". An assortment of extensions are also important.

    Install went flawlessly, it only took a couple hours with some breaks in between. The yota lives to fight another day!!!

    me too its insane how quickly the clutch engages now. brings into prospective how bad the old was. A few tips for install you will definitely need a 3/8 swivel and about 2 feet of extension's to remove top bell housing bolts (17mm). I also borrowed a blind finger bearing puller for the pilot bearing. And the drive shaft bolts are a pain in the ass since there splines. A little side note dont forget dot 3 brake fluid for the reservoir. Final though a 10mm flare nut wrench for removal from master cylinder.
