    Yes I am. The only issues I've had with them is a corroded set screw on the bypass tube, but that's my fault for only washing the truck when it rains. (read, never)

    Hi Colton, it had to be either the carrier bearing or the transmission, in any event if I missed you before a huge "THANK YOU SIR " is in order:)

    & FWIW both are still doing great...!!

    he can definitely have more than one truck. LOL Mods are at $10084 and going ...
    LOL ... shhht - do not tell my spouse please.

    Tacoma 2014 has its shortcomings. So far I spent hard earned cash on the following:

    $2,165 - color matched souped up LEER bed cap)
    $100 - tinted front windows (Toyota left them natural glass while tinted the rear)
    $80 - bed rubber mat
    $120 - oil catch can (keep the engine clean)
    $800 - speakers + amplifier + misc parts (gotta have good sound system)
    $150 - LifeTimeLed H4 bulbs (factory headlamps coverage sucks as I get older)
    $457 - 10" rigid LED bar (to complement above purchased H4's long beam as it is subpar)
    $475 - US OffRoad winch front bumper
    $35 - ImMrYo mirror bracket (a must for tall driver)
    $633 - WetOkole seat covers (I play dirty )
    $175 - WeatherTech mats (Tacome came with none)
    $105 - Redline hood lift - 05-14 Toyota Tacoma QL ELITE TW (factory stick sucks)
    $250 - side mirrors with heater and turn signal
    $100 - misc. parts to make mirror heater and turn signal work
    $125 - new rear bumper (gotta go black)
    $90 - new tailgate light (don't ask - trash can 1 - Tacoma 0)
    $79 - Pop-a-Lock (protect $700 + $200 tailgate)
    $200 - Tailgate reinforcement (I hunt and rely heavily on that tailgate)
    $100 - different paints for misc mods including above tailgate
    $1,075 - AllPro Expedition rear springs, Fox Racing Shoxs IFS 2.0, Timbren stops, longer brake lines (after 4 months of usage rear springs are getting a negative curve and "according to Toyota dealer master tech" between the bed cap and tailgate reinforcement I overloaded the springs - LOL)
    $1,294 - FOX 2.5" Non-Reservoir IFP Coil-Overs, 0-3" Lift (05+ Tacoma, 07+ FJ Cruiser, 03+ 4Runner) *REQUIRES A-ARMS plus longer brake lines (gotta match the rear 3 - 4 inch over stock lift minus settlement)
    $649 - All-Pro 4130 Chromoly Upper A-Arms
    $68 - Front Brake Line
    $195 - 05+ Tacoma Front Timbren Bumpstop Kit
    $100 - powder coated black aluminum door sill protectors
    $159 - Ultra ScanGuage (to correct driver led foot issue)
    $15 - Gas tank lockable cap
    $120 - Morimoto XB LED Fogs (Type T)
    ==============================
    Total = $9914 (matched in spouse expenses for 2014 ... I had too ... keep the budget balanced)

    The results are speaking for themselves as initial factory Tacoma woes are now cured to my satisfaction. I love this truck the same way I loved all my girlfriends and love current spouse, therefore I spend money to make my life better, LOL.
