    having never seen the transfer case in a second gen Tacoma, is there any way to make it manually actuated over the stock servo ?

    This is an FJ cruiser tcase. Manual shifting. Bolts up, just have to cut a hole for the shifter. I modified my case for twin sticks.

    Check the BST section, usually there are some in there that people let go of for pretty cheap. I used to buy full sets @ $50-$60, so you could get the fronts cheaper I assume.

    Little update of the new truck ;)

    Still need to get the chrome color matched once I find a shop that's reasonable.

    So, stupid, frugal me bought a set of skyjacker shocks for the jeep about 9 months ago cause they were a great deal. Put them on yesterday... Damn things were blown. One he'll of a bumpy ride today. So, Rancho 9000xl adjustable or the stiffer Bilstein 5100? I'm on stock suspension still

    If it's the same NC 105 that goes through the gorge and hits Wiseman's view, I drive it last summer. Wasn't bad at all. Rutted up and wash boarded from people that don't know how to drive up hills with gravel. But other than that I don't see needing 4x. Could be wrong

    Just verified it's the same. Don't know what's changed. It's a good drive, I just don't understand why they are saying that.

    A fun ride in the middle of the winter but take friends and a winch if you go that time of year since the road is snow and ice covered.

    Yep that is it. Not wanting to go alone if snow and ice covered still. Otherwise some good stops along the way to nice Gorge and Table rock views
