Bout how much you pay for that

 

Awesome I'd be down for that

 

$82 Astro 78810 10-Piece Torque Limiting Extension Set

Astro Torque Limiting Set
Less than 80 bucks for the set, including shipping. I didn't get the Prime version because of sales tax.
My brother highly recommended to me. Haven't used it yet, so no review from me, other than it looks decent.

 

Yeah. It's pretty quick.
I filled up mine, @Lilcarkid, @Sub-Zero @04yota before @Lux finished filling all his tires.
I'd name this and my winch as my best accessory purchase of 2016.

 

Don't waste the extra money on the "xtreme" get the 60" all cast. All cast has a stronger rating than the cast and steel version.

 

My neighbor was telling me that when he picked his Tacoma up yesterday from Toyota of Vineland after having the leaf spring recall done. they said he needed front and rear brakes due to his lug nuts being over toqued and bending the rotors and drums.

 

Goddamn, how fucking tight were they torqued down to cause damage like that?!

 

Just bought it..

 

If I were to replace my 30 year old cast Hi-Lift, I would go with the extreme.
I like the chain slot in the new top attachment. If you've ever been stuck without a winch, but have a 3/8" grade 70 chain (I do), then you could self-winch out (been there.)
I called Hi-Lift last year and asked them to sell me just the top attachment. They refused.
So I went with this.

 

It is pretty badass. I have the single compressor. It's like having a Wawa air station everywhere you go.

 

Over 86 ft-lbs.

 

I am pretty sure they where blowing smoke up his ass I didn't see anything wrong with them. He also just had the local shop down the road do front brakes and new tires. They also tried selling him front and rear diff service and a trans service with only 70k on the truck. I called Shore Toyota Mayslanding a couple weeks ago to get a price on a Trans service and they told me the trans fluid is good for a 100k and don't change it until then.

 

It would have to be considerably over. Going to, say, 90 ft-lbs would not cause damage like that. When I bought my truck, it was a few weeks before I torqued my lug nuts to spec, and when I went to, they were way over spec. Who knows how long they were like that. Probably very, as the tires were at max PSI and bald in the center, so the PO clearly likes big numbers. But none of my wheels nor brakes had damage.

 

Ah, I see. That sounds more realistic. Shops are always coming up with "must-do-this-now" stories to scare people into paying for things they do not need.

 

@Sub-Zero @Lux @04yota @Lilcarkid - we should do a mid/late January trip where we went last time. We need more snow on it. Last trip was too easy.

 

Everything but the hill was, which I just barely got up lol

 

I used to be a Service writer at ford Dealership years ago and I understand you have to try and make money, but to flat out lie to people isn't good business.

 

Ya got over it after a few hiccups. That's all that matters.
But you do need a way to control that rear wheels-spin just a touch...

 

But sooo nice... and it interfaces really easy with the locker set up seeing as ARB makes the lockers...

Lol you can run air tools...

Hmmm you need a 48"? Mounts and jack for cheap cheap...

 

This is true @The Hunter
