    Piggerflex. :eek:

    It's not quite totally stock; I have a Detroit Tru-Track LSD in the back.

    I had a great time; need to do that more often.

    Although I was surprised I didn't get any rocker panel rash on some of those rocks. :turtleride:

    also its not a full MT kit like they say, putting blocks under the rear leafs is no where near MT. you would need to get a new leaf pack and maybe even SUA (sprung under axle) leafs which i think will require new mounting brackets for the leafs and shocks

    Your truck is nice.

    I had a 2wd stock 2001 Tacoma, just a plain one, not a prerunner or TRD or anything nice; I loved it & wheeled it some. It worked pretty well in snow with chains on.

    I couldn't get out to my shooting place with it if it rained or snowed, though; that's why I got my 4x4. Stock 2wd + caliche mud = stuck, at least w/ me driving.

    BTW, I hope I didn't piss anybody off doing those donuts in the sand afterwards. :eek:

    I've never tried that before; my truck was turning around in its own length. :D
