    Yeah.
    Berli's is probably one of the best shops in the Austin area, they did a great job fixing the $13K of damage on my 2004. Not the cheapest around -- they do a lot of work for the BMW and Lexus dealers -- but if anyone can do it, they can.

    So, I was reseaching 2012 Tacomas (one of which, I was planning on buying with my soon-to-be millions), and WTH, Toyota! They no longer offer manual transmissions for PreRunners, or sound system upgrades, and they took various pieces out of the SR5 package and made them TRD Off-road only (like the skid plate).

    HOW am I going to buy a 2012, paint it SWB, and still continue with my 2WD locking-rear-end 6-speed monster??

    Playing around with my new ultra-wide angle lens.

    Oh, and that 'wheel bearing'? It was a loose tire. :facepalm:[​IMG]

    Need an opinion. I just found a TRD rear end, complete, with 65k-miles for $650. Good buy?

    Talked them down on the rear end. Now just to figure out how to do the swap :eek:

    Oury, they have your drive shaft. 06 TRD with 65k-miles complete shaft for $250. Talk'em down to $200 and you're golden.

    Make sure to have it balanced though. This truck had a head-on and rolled.

    I appreciate the help! I wish I had more mulah, I'm saving for a 05+ Transfer Case, HC Rear bumper, and skids. I keep spending my money on small things, it's not a bad thing. I might change too a 1-piece drive shaft sometime in the next year too.
