    I know of at least two other guys (no longer on here) that have busted aftermarket 4.56s, so it does happen. Stay tuned :confused:

    So I'm new to the Tacoma and the E Locker, so go easy on me!

    Whats the point of these if they are breaking? What is Toyotas stance on these breaking?

    I hardly do an off roading other than on our farm roads/trails and during hunting season. Do I have anything to worry about?
    Other than what the Toyota manual says, any tips, tricks or instruction from you all?

    i just like the idea of the e-locker opposed to the air seems like less things could go wrong with electrical opposed to air compressor and the lines.

    I wouldn't feel any better about the 8.4 personally.

    I want something bigger.

    I'd feel a lot better with a 9" but then part of me thinks if I'm gonna drop all that coin I might as well go bigger and cheaper and get a 14bolt.

    IDK...
