    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    I was able to snake the crossover pipe into position after the motor was torqued up to the transmission.

    removing the transmission bracket and using a jack to lift It up pivots the motor downward and the crossover falls out.

    Loosened the transmission mount and jack the trans up. Made it way easier

    If it’s not OEM, the cheapest one with a lifetime warranty.

    Oh man. I'll just tell you up front, because I think you actually wheel your taco not just a pavement pounder, those Chinese cheap brand ones will fail rather quickly using it off road.
    How much is a Toyota Reman? Can you get a remanned one through a company? That would be better than the cheap New stuff. Hate to say it but I'd hate more to see you replacing the cheap shitty one again real soon. Just an FYI or heads up I guess

    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    If you wheel - OEM is the only way to go on the steering rack.

    Unless you want to get really good at swapping racks.

    Sorry man, that's an expensive sucker too. But keep the fluid clean and maintained and don't force the wheel when turning over obstacles. Allow the truck to move while you turn. I know sometimes that's impossible but just good practice for longevity of your good shiz
