    Stuff and junk and things...
    The longevity will be longer since it's a sealed/greased joint VS a Teflon lined spherical bearing. The east coasters and rust belt states will benefit the most going with the DJ's.

    You use the 05+ Tacoma Delta joints and the spindle adapters is what make it work for our trucks.

    Same thing, Craftsman. Bought it at Lowe's. Says it fit 2005 and up but I put it on here. It only hangs over about a 1/2" on both sides. I wanted the 12" wide instead of the 20" so I wouldn't lose more bed space than I had to.

    My blast in bucket kit never worked properly because I don't have a compressor that put out 7 CFM at 80 PSI. It doesn't seem like a lot but most hobbiest's compressors do not put out that much air.

    Thank you :thumbsup:

    One of our favorite places, In The Summer/Fall. Winter is probably great for skiing, which I don't do any more due to knee replacements and have no desire to camp in the snow any more.

    I broke my tacoma :( rusted out spring cup finally gave out over a pothole today... (driver side)

    Luckily I have 5100s and my OME 880s should come in tomorrow! Figured this was an appropriate time to make my first post :wave: Ill come and update when the new gear is on. Im hoping the 880s will come close to leveling my ride out...

    Kinda.. Many years ago I bought the predecessor to this unit from Harbor Freight. Its more like a small suitcase with the nozzles

    I use it the most because its easy to reload. If something happened to that unit, I would get one of these to replace it.

    upload_2019-8-21_19-24-52.jpg

    Then I have one of these units that I haven't used much because its a pain to reload.

    The real secret to success with these blasters comes from this compressor.

    I buy black diamond media at Tractor Supply for $8.99 a bag. .

    Very similar results with a 3.4L Prerunner. Its just what I wanted in lift.
