    Looks like everyone else pretty much answered already hahaha but I agree with them. Go with 12" shocks. I do like my 14"ers but 12" would be perfect since I wouldn't have had to put them at such an angle.

    From what I've seen, Precision makes very nice gears!
    dearp :p

    Arguably weaker than a stock tacoma IFS until you add chromoly axle shafts.

    Also, I like how Silas's build thread just became the new BS thread.

    So how bout a real update....

    Finally got around to making a windshield washer reservoir since the stock one got demolished by my tire.

    2" ABS pipe

    [​IMG]

    13/32" bit was perfect for a very tight press fit of the OE pump inlet to my resivoir.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    zip-tied in place--seems to be holding just fine, even with half a gallon of washer fluid.
