    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    No just length, width is identical from new to old

    I'm not a fan of lunchbox lockers at all, but that's one of the better ones at least

    Ryan's been in it several times, and Wulf actually drove it like she stole it (literally, I had forgotten my ties at home an hour before ceremony).

    It maybe engaged/disengaged 3 total times out of a whole week's worth of driving including fast tight turns, in and out of tight parking lots, and more.

    The 3 of us believe the heavier rear end causes it to be much more forgiving whereas on a 1st Gen Taco (Ryan) or Jeep (Wulf) they were just horrible.

    I think the 2nd Gen needs some icon billet arms and Fox shocks

    Probably helps that the VLSD center diff keep torque on it all the time

    yea the blue 07 is to flip.. because it was stupid cheap.

    the red 2002 is likely getting sold off too... since the 95 appeared.. and its rust free and a crunchy... but clean title

    Ahhh, we kept thinking it was the much heavier Everything.

    Wulf told me how her Jeep would throw the rear end out in one direction or another; had to learn to drive again just to drive that Jeep. Welded diff would've been better (I have no such experience).

    Ryan said his first Tacoma had a lunchbox locker and it'd engage constantly in parking lots.

    I thought Dallas had "ADS"...wouldn't it make more sense for you to get those since you got the rest of the truck?

    I mean, what's he gonna do, make his Ram worth that much more by throwing them in the back seat?

    My stupid (for no reason that makes any sense) OCD would kick in by having Fox rear and Icon front.

    But yeah I'll wait for you to decide what ones you keep.

    I want to take up Zane and James' advice and rebuild my own in the future.
