    I installed a Toytec diff drop yesterday and torqued up all the nuts and bolts related to my Old Man Emu lift hoping to get rid of a vibration when I slow down my truck. It helped but I still get a vibration when I am almost fully stopped. At least it doesn't vibrate as much when I just let off the gas. Hopefully this will settle down and the vibration will go away. I think I may just need another alignment. Not sure how good a job they did the first time.

    Just curious if you replaced the needle bearing in the front diff with the ecgs bushing.

    Damn, That looks good!

    I did mine almost 5 years ago before there was a pro grille. Mine looked okay at first but after rock chips and hand washing it a few times, it turned to crap for me. Might have been a poor / impatient job on my part? God job though

    No problem
    No problem, and it’s very possible that’s not where the vibes are coming from, just a good place to start imo. Edit: Could also be carrier bearing needs shimming too, forgot to mention. Just depends on what kind of vibration and where.

    How much lift do you have? Just out of curiosity; I’m just doing my research before I begin ordering suspension components so I do it right the first time. My ‘17 was rwd so the Billstein 5100’s with OME 887’s weren’t an issue. On my new taco however, being 4wd I don’t want to have any issues off roading. :cheers:

    Did you get the Rav4 knobs? If so, they'll fit my 2020 and I can buy 'em off you...

    Had a buddy build some brackets. Had a few spares and figured a beer holder can't be a bad thing around the box of the truck... We got our wires crossed on measurements somehow and the base ended up being a bit too long. Either I leave them as is on a slight angle or I'll eventually get to fixing that. Also made a tool/screw/socket holder using a heavy duty magnet.

    If you have not dropped your carrier bearing at all that could be your source. If you have lifted to the point you thought you needed a diff drop, you probably should drop your carrier bearing a little. Pretty simple process. Just need some fat washers and extended bolts. There are also kits littered around the internet for it.

    Looks nice, that thing's going to hold a ton of water. Check out my out of the box design for the back of my Tacoma. I can pull it out and put it in the sun. That's what she said. 3.5 Gallons.

    One thing that might be worth looking at. Good friend of mine up in Gaspe buys stair traction stuff. Not sure what it is called but it is peel and stick and they use it on stair treads for winter traction. Has way more grit / slip resistance than the tape. You can cut it to fit and that stuff adheres solidly. Works really well. Sticks forever. And if you beat it up it is not that hard to peel off and replace for a refresh.

    For reference, I think it was something like this. He bought it at a lumber yard that sells all kinds of stairs and such:
