oh yeah that was a cool lil truck. Wasn't he working on getting a 2nd gen tundra axle back there with a 10.5'' diff and links? Or DTFs rear setup or something?

 

His chick fabs with him. Lucky dude.

 

just go to dmz

 

fucking instagram with all their out of order shit... finally saw LSK new race kit for the 05+ tacomas. That bolt-in stock replacement 2.5" race hub is going to be sex.

 

I will... to buy the parts.

 

Grab the parts, bring em here and I'll do it for $500

 

330 mile drive

 

#tbt to living the LT life back when I was running 5100's

 

Is that shaft bent? I had a 2nd gen buddy have one of those toytec shafts bend on him in the middle of nowhere on his way to Moab. Luckily toytec made it right and a rep brought one to him on his way to Moab.

 

Nope, as seen in the second pic, the valving stack dissintegrated and allowed the shaft to get sloppy. It was after about 80miles of Vegas to Barstow off-road. Luckily I only had about 20miles left off road

 

I feel ya, first weekend, first desert trip with my truck and I blew a shock apart lol. By the way I drove it home around 60 miles like this, after towing my friends broke down ranger out of the desert too

 

Yeah I was 20 miles of dirt and then 150miles of hey back home. When I jacked it up to check, it didn't fall apart so I figured I'd be safe once I hit pavement

 

I'll probably rent a freaking plasma cutter and go the DIY route.

 

Was this the moment when you knew you rig was destined for greatness? Hard to believe you were ever stock with the beast of tan.

 

Lol, the moment I knew my driving habits were going to send my wallet to hell

 

The last shop you took it to had no clue what they were doing. I doubt you could do worse than them. Atleast you’ll be gaining knowledge when yo do it yourself.

 

Knowledge is power!
