    well we'll be in your stomping grounds so if you find a trail you'd like to try out, i'd be down...or we can hit webster, hunkidori, red cone, peru creek, etc etc...anyone of those would be sweet too...like you said, a nice sunday drive..most trails in the area are <5 ratings

    thanks me too!

    the gears are fun so far and amazing how much they throw off the speedo...

    my ratio is .846 with the 285/70/17 with 4.56 which means my speedo needs to read 89 for me to hit 75 actual mph!

    next tire change i'll have to think about stuffing some 35s under the truck:cool:

    You are gonna dig your gears when you get out to wheel this weekend. As others have said one of the best mods you can do and since you wheel you will see the true difference. Look forward to seeing pics and hearing how they do.

    Sorry to hear about your experience with ECGS, I have had really great service and advice from them on several occasions.

    yea man, i can't wait...gonna be another slow week at work..

    ecgs was very responsive and through the ordering process were great, but they should have known that 05+ tacomas need a new flange and that when i ask, "is this all the hardware i need", they should mention that i need a new flange...

    shipping was fast and so far the product is good, but they were sloppy and it caused my truck to be in the shop another 2 days, taking up a friend's stall at the shop causing him to have to work around me because of a missing part..

    i hope they take note of the incident and don't allow it to happen again..



    on a lighter note....how's that twin stick performing for ya?

    talk about a bad ass mod!

    I love my gears and lockers but the twin sticks have opened up a lot of new options in how I wheel the truck they never get old and I like seeing them everytime I hop in to drive it.

    These pictures make me want to get sliders instead of steps for my truck for when I do actually go wheeling! Dangit thought I had my mind made up.
