    Yep, I bought my truck 3 years ago and it was the 1st thing I noticed. I’ve done a bunch of work to her but haven’t fixed that yet! :rofl:
    I figure when I’m completely done with my build I’ll get around to fixing that one :rolleyes:

    97 Tacoma Extended Cab. 3.4L
    Original Tacoma: 6" lift, air bags in the rear, 17x9.5 XD Series rims w/ 35" Cooper STT Pro tires. Body Armor rear bumper with swing arm tire mount, TRD Exhaust, URD True Cold Air intake, TRD Front Brakes, RIGID INDUSTRIES grill and LED bar installed in it, LED Rear Lights, TracRack rack system, tool box. Sold the truck. Bought 2016 ram 2500 Laramie diesel. (7/2016) Picked up 97 Tacoma 4x4 Extended Cab 3.4L. Building motor now. (8/2017)
    Test fit and finessed new corbeau seats into my 1st gen. Let’s just say that the rails that are “made for the Tacoma” don’t exactly line up properly.

    After bending out the brackets a bit, I got them to fit. :)

    If I can drop a transmission and swap in a complete front driveline in my 2 car garage I'm sure you'd be more than capable doing it in another 2 car garage. You got this!

    I just swapped a Elocker axle in my driveway today... in 25* weather. At least the sun was shining!
    10AAB8BB-BD11-407C-BBE4-6C3DF74566BB.jpg

    On a side note, I changed the tranny fluid today and it was full of little bubbles. Is that normal or a sign of something?

    Sweet, but my driveway is an incline. Lord knows if my old lady neighbor will approve and start harassing the HOA like she always does.

    I'll figure something out. Its gonna have to be done all in one day w/o any hiccups. I don't like to open my garage when i work on my vehicles but this will be an exemption so I can get plenty of room.

    Or buy some storage bins and dump all the spare parts in and junk stuff I don't need.

    Oh and its actually the entire rear end.
