    No, I didnt drop the front diff, I have the kit but I doubt I'll use it because I have no vibes up front and my angles look fine. I think. I got the CB drop from wheelers.

    It's under the OME lift stuff, all the way at the bottom. It's an OME part.

    Well its been a while since I've updated this thing so here goes. Just yesterday I finally went ahead and lowed my tire pressure down to 42psi. I was originally at 55psi when I got my tires mounted and didnt think anything of it until somebody on here said something. It definitely softened up the ride. I also got my leak in my rear diff fixed, on my own coin. It was a bad pinion seal (probably some dirt), but the 1st dealer said no due to physical damage (bent drive shaft and yoke), which it wasn't, the second said no because the CB spacer caused the leak. Whatever, Miami Driveline fixed it and I'm back good as new. Here are the pics of my citrus trip where I obtained the leak, and the leak itself.

    Not until just now did I realize that the long beds weren't offered with the offroad package. I guess I never paid any attention to it since I've always, until just recently, wanted a short bed. Interesting. Are you entertaining the idea of adding a locker to your truck?

    Your truck looks good! And your 5.56 to 7.62 is a great way of describing the evolution of your truck. I likey.

    Kind of, I think I'm not going to put any major money in it until some details come out about the new tacoma. Most likely I'll be getting one based on how much I love my friends 4runner.
