    It's less Tacoma and more mod

    If I had extra cash I'd buy the whole setup.

    Otherwise next month I'm buying new manual hub axles and swapping in my front end setup.

    Yeah they're those ones made to fit a wide variety of applications so they don't work with any one application very well. Probably not very good rubber either

    my buddy runs them on his miata. because it ate rubber hangers. no squeaks yet 2 years later.



    but i'll just say, rubber hangers and a steel hose clamp around it works without issue too.... just stops them from bouncing around and pulling

    Yeah I was mostly being facetious, it would just be my luck that poly hangars would squeak

    Bullshit.

    They'll be tweeting about how it's too hot outside, and how the platoon commander is a dick for not letting them Instagram their stories.

    I use one of these universal hangars for the tailpipe end ever since I got the axle dump done... holds the tail pipe and bolts to the frame. Keeps it from swinging around and ruining the rubber hangars quickly

    It's the only thing that's actually worked for...about a year now. The stock piece is long gone (cut off) and the metal rod the guy welded on after cutting the exhaust snapped as well

    Haha yeah it is rusty actually just from rain and snow but if it was exposed to road salt I'm sure it wouldn't have lasted this long.
