    he is..but it is still for different gen tacoma..

    Not saying it won't work exactly because we use the same axle for the most part. But idk if it'll just bolt on

    plus the TG kit is way cheaper. But it doesn't have a parking brake.

    well...it is a pain in the ass..haha and very expensive.

    You can drive, just not turn really..at all..without tubbing.

    You could find some used wheels and tires for cheap and then resell them after.

    Thanks for responding on your vacation. Could you post some pics of how you attached your bumper? Some close ups would help to see what exactly i have to do.
    Here are a couple of shots of the bumper in its current condition. After i strip it down im planning on using either POR or rustoleum bed liner paint to finish it. Any thoughts?

    Between all the back and forth on gears selection, highway speed and RPM, etc, I honestly think you'd be better off sticking with 33s.

    I'm sorry to hear about your poor fuel economy, so I'll trade you a 2016 Corolla as a good deed.

    Thanks for the reply. Which one of their kits would you recommend? They have a few for the 5VZ engine.
