    Trust me I've thought about it, but I got everything so cheap I feel like I might as well use it.

    Whenever I get money to install my 4:10 gears and a truetrac, not for sure yet but that's my next project after I swap Glam's rear axle.

    Probably wise, I'm poor and fairly sure that since I'm not installing an air locker I can tackle the shimming and adjusting myself with a master rebuild kit. If I could I'd pay for ECGS to do mine.

    I've seen plenty of people do it by feel on buggies and shit that hardly sees pavement... i just wouldn't trust it for lots of highway driving

    If you want to save some money check with Chris at MarsFab, Andy Zubar at Tarheel does the gear installs for him. That or Jody Treadway at Carolina Axle. Both those guys have done thousands of gear installs on Toyota's.

    The only thing to do "by feel" is the backlash. And the gauge you need to do it is only $20 at harbor freight.
