    I'm considering giving this a try. I wouldn't mind something to make the flares and bumpers a bit more glossier. I think it would look great with the Barcelona Red Metallic.

    I think a nice set of color matched linebackers would look nice on your rig.

    Someone had their axle replaced and instead of the electronic LSD model the dealer installed a mechanical. Happened maybe a year ago or a little less? I thought it would be a problem, but everyone else was like "You scored dude!"

    Found it....

    The traction control sucks in the snow. When I turn it completely off, the E LSD is off.

    What are you going with? 4.56s or 4.88s?

    Nice, when are you regearing? I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, especially when you decide which size tires to go with. If I remember correctly Especk ran 4.88s with 315s and said it was pretty well wound up on the highway but the low end grunt was great. Do you drive much highway?

    Wow, not bad. If I was in your situation I'd also rather be potentially over geared than under geared. I want to regear sometime in the next year but I drive a lot of highway so I'll most likely try to keep my rpms a bit lower while still getting some power back. I may move to 35s next if I do bother regearing so may as well go all out.


    Tough to figure out what to do in order to only buy things once!

    X2. I'm going with 255s because I don't want to regear

    Although for your needs, I guess it doesn't sound terrible. It wouldn't work for those of us who drive more

    stuff and things that make it better
    I could be in on this, depending on the cost of course.

    To add my .02 in on your gear/tire conversation, I run 255's with stock 4.30 gears and have all right low end power and low RPM's on the freeway. That being said, when I finally find a good e-locked rear end I will be re-gearing to 4.56. I had that same combo on my 4runner and found it to be perfect for how I drive.
