And you’re too lazy to finish the steel one

 

...and you still haven't put the Relentless bumper on yet have you

 

When I was at the salvage yard, I couldn't believe all the bare rear ends with no third member, axle shafts, etc. lol

I checked and looked under every 4runner and Tacoma I found.

 

This is definitely not a weekend project. I would be prepared to have a second car you can use to run to the store. I did this over three weeks during Christmas break, I wasn’t even done when school came up. I only had the front shaft in so I drove it in 4HI FWD until the shaft was done.

 

I haven’t figured out how to notch the hoops yet.

 

Correct!

 

Call around. I’m sure you can find one on car-part or eBay.

 

Lmao

 

I meant for you; was hoping to make the trip worth it even more and finding you a rear locker or something.

 

He has one of those too, or did

 

oh yeah whatever happened to that

 

He musta put that idea on a shelf

 

I do. That swap for 4.88 fell through. I’ve got a guy who wants to buy it though.

No point in regearing an 8.0” axle when the stock 8.4” axle is stronger.

 

Nos has a better deal this morning

 

Didn’t know that

 

I dunno if it's really all that much stronger...but to go slightly down rather than slightly up does seem odd. I've yet to blow up my 8" axle though *knock on wood*

 

That 4 cylinder really kicks out some power though

 

I mean you'd have to be doing some moderately difficult wheeling to blow up even an 8" axle, and even then it probably happens when doing something dumb like over-spinning the tires when stuck or bouncing up an obstacle too hard

No ones gonna blow either of those rear ends driving around town...unless you forget to put gear oil in it
