    Yeah, 4.56 .... back when I first started thinking I wanted to regear, I was just gonna try to regain stock ratio, then talking with you and Linwood and seeing how yours performed a little, I decided to go that 5% over.

    I was going to try and avoid the core charge and just send mine and wait for the new ones.

    You get the core charge back. This is the best way if you can be down a truck. I didn't have time nor space to do this. You could just go there like some of the members do and just wait for them to do it. Ckeene, linwood, mattmx, all went there and waited. Shit, Ckeene got his gears and both lockers put in.


    Good morning all!

    They told me they changed the guts. Either way I'm not concerned, a shell is a shell.

    I got there at 0800 and was on the road at 1700 with new gears and (2) lockers.

    The guts.. If I had to do it again I would have got the thirds and have production do it. I don't have time to drive to ecgs or have time to wrench on my truck.. I paid for it but it was the most convenient option.

    That is what I wanted....but I am quite sure they just swapped the clamshell and thirds on my truck. I was out of there a little after lunch.

    I wouldn't let production install gears...they couldn't even install my buddies icons and metal tech links properly. Basic stuff. Also how they handled it and all...stay clear. Drive to ECGS.

    Not to mention they got grease all over his brand new T4R interior.

    They've been great with me. But I've been dealing with specifically their gear guy. They have a bunch of people in their shop. Gear dude is awesome.

    Is your buddy on 757toyota. I think I talked to him about his experience.

    Didn't realize they had a dedicated gear guy...but seeing how the upper management handled a mess up I'll pass. :)

    Spent the night hanging out with a bunch of liveaboards on a 42ft sailboat.

    Then watched YouTube videos on living aboard this morning.

    I'm a whore.

    Pj and Ezra will be wheeling with us down the road just like your kids! Shit was fun last time.

    His room is awesome. Going to hang my surfboards and skateboard boards on his wall. With the 2 rc trucks and 2 rc drift cars. Hung a 42" tv on the wall with an hd dvr receiver. Shared man cave room

    If I go that route, the Tacoma. I'll trade it in on a little used econobox like a honda fit or Corolla.

    Haven't sailed in years, but the yacht club membership comes with sailing lessons.

    Need a change of pace.

    Rigid makes a shit ton of marine lights too!

    That's what I'm leaning towards. Need to find a home for the Aussies though. Neighbors are starting to complain about their bloody murder howling anytime I leave the house.

    They have free run of the house and howl like they're being murdered.
