    If it's the diff that's in the way, you can still keep a tcase for low range without the diff, especially if you do a tcase with twin sticks so you don't even have to put it in 4wd. Put something else on the output haha

    I just can't even imagine not having 4wd I use it so often

    Bottomless pockets have nothing to do with it. A super stout setup 2jz to T56 magnum to ford 9” would be reliable to 700+ hp all day long.
    Amen!
    I don’t like getting this truck in situations where 4wd is a requirement. Honestly have a hard enough time putting it back in the dirt after buffing the thing out. That’s what the other Tacoma is for.

    And at the end of it the same thing that's said a million times on this forum would be said again.
    "I wish I would've kept it mid travel and spent my money on something else"

    Sure the drive train would be bulletproof, but by the time you built the truck around that the only thing tacoma left would be the VIN tag on the dash.

    I’m a builder. It’s what I do. Following a “recipe” is boring to me. Let’s build something really freaking unique.

    Get a Lokar firewall mount or ditch a tube all together and get a stubby.

    If I do a stubby how am I suppose to fill it?

    I have a lokar firewall mount but it’s too short to mount to anything.

    I’m to retarded to weld anything

    We just use a hand pump. Do you have the 24” version or shorter? They have numerous lengths

    Idk. I’m personally a fan of the Stubbies when you can use them. 40” stick is like express van kinda length.

    Some stuff here and there
    Looking at that kit now, do you lose the headliner and rear stuff? Do you have a picture of what yours looks like complete?
