    Its a decent bar and plate IC. My previous was 3" in/out. This new one is 2.5" which matches up with my charge pipes so it theoretically should make the same flow. The new IC is smaller in thickness, height, and width. But it's still very sufficient for 2.5" charge pipes. Pretty sure Chris and everybody is running this one. Wonder if the volume of free standing air that was in there made the difference as the tb has more air to draw from in the overall pipe system? I never would have guessed it would impact my tune this much. I'm hoping with my ebc I can get it dialed in better if I suck in more air because it's running rich (my bad not lean).

    Your boost pressure though is consistent with how it was before?

    The Volume you mentioned is possible. especially since it's smaller in every dimension.

    Stole an awesome idea from @UtahTacoma02 and made it my own. Made a holder for my deflators and color coded them because I typically have the rears setup to a slightly higher pressure than the fronts. Blue will be fronts black will be backs. Also put my digital pressure gauge and spare valve stems/caps in the drawer too.

    I need a fuse block. Too many accessories these days running a direct-to-battery connection. Any suggestions other than the Blue Sea ones?

    Forgot to mention I only need about 6 circuits. Right now I have the IPF lights in the front, Better bed lights, rear reverse lights, HID relay, and MAYBE the CB radio (unless it's piggybacked onto a fuse in the interior fuse box)

    It comes with a cover.

    You can wire up the bussman for 5 relay circuits and 5 fuse circuits: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-build-and-install-a-bussmann-rtmr-fuse-relay-block.399454/

    can get the 10 relay one for 10 relays and 10 fused circuits.

    Anyone ever break a rear end axle?

    Splines striped or actually in half

    Wondering if I should sell the 8.4 housing with axles or if I should keep the axles as backup... if it's not a common problem think I'll sell them :notsure:

    Not impossible per say..

    But not likely. All depends on your driving style and such.

    Hey guys need a quick part #. Anyone have a TRD radiator cap that goes to the v6? Part #? I'm showing like 2 different ones. They increase the boiling point of the coolant by increasing the pressure rate.

    Seen a clean break on a second gen once. Had the rear locked with a wheel wedged in a rock. If it was me I would keep them especially if they are setup with the rings/backing plate and axle. It's not just a bad axle that you can use it to swap, it's a bad bearing too.

    Yea both sides are setup with the rings/backing plate and everything.

    Think I'll do that then.

    Are both sides interchangeable or are they marked L/R?

    CBI brackets clear if you stack washers underneath. On their own they will not.
