    Yeah.
    If you used the carrier bearing drop, your driveshaft angles may still be off. A 3 degree axle shim may be the ticket, that is what fixed my vibes after my lift. I tried the CB drop but it didn't fix the vibes and measurements were still off. I ditched the drop after the shim.

    That said, I would NOT rule out the tire rotation and would start there first, which it sounds like you are addressing. But if that doesn't work, check Headstrong Offroad for a shim.

    Dang it. My Rek Gens came with the bogus brand name, not ‘4WD’.

    I bought some first gen decals off eBay, they didn’t stick to the generic flaps, so I had a buddy make some more with the negatives for a template, painted them this time!

    Although those will look nice on your Taco they just don't last long here above the 49th. One cold winter and my front ones have cracked and are nearly falling off. I wish I could but rubber ones like on the 1st Gen.

    If you want to go the shim route, I have a pair I'll send you for the cost of postage. Hit me up by PM.

    It was finally warm enough to install my Expedition Essentials 3tpam dash mount.
    I had a Taco Garage DSM for as long as I've owned the truck but I didn't trust their system to support the weight of a tablet while off-roading. I reused my Quad Lock mag charger for my phone mount and added a Hondo Garage Big Squeeze for my tablet.

    No more looking at a tiny map on my phone when I go out on adventures.

    6 quarts of 0-W20 goodness. And swapped the housing with the drain-plug temporarily frozen for a new one without being frozen ... unfreezing it a task for another day.

    Yeah.
    Yeah, they need to have a GPS chip and not use wifi or wireless for location to really be useful for offroading. I grabbed an Onn brand from Walmart a few years ago for 90 bucks that didn't say whether it had one or not, but turns out it actually did. It's got a relatively clean Android install, and my only use for it is for Gaia, so it works sufficiently for my use.

    Pretty accurate, this is at the Stony Pass sign in Colorado. Elevation is pretty spot on. I've got the Taco Garage dashtop multi-mount holding the RAM mount.

    Im kind of in the same boat. I can think of two mods that are up coming, the Sony XAV - 9500es infotainment system (10.1” screen). And after some more research, a good suspension upgrade. Then, I’m done. Well,,,
