    So that abomination of a snorkel filter flew off at 60 mph. I ain't even mad because it didn't hit anyone and I just found it after it had been hiding for 3 years.

    Oh shit! I guess that thing was up like a pariscope on a sub! Did it fit securely on there or needed a silicon reducer?

    It was pretty damn secure, I'm surprised it went as far as it did

    He did say 100% stainless. Try finding the "cup" in 1.25 stainless.

    But seriously moly vs stainless.....in our environment just clean and lube them properly and you wont have an issue. Though if picking between the two Im going stainless



    V6. Dont think youll hear much complaints about that! The rest....kind of just depends. If you plan to do things like regear, bigger tires, higher end mid travel/long travel, ect....id go for a more basic model like the SR5/standard. Why...cause you end up replacing and upgrading most of the crap you just paid a premium for. The e-locker is an ok locker but a air locker is strong IMO (an ARB one at least). You can use the e-locker in any mode but you need a small relay and to cut into your wiring harness. Now if you plan to keep it more stock but to say just upgrade suspension...id go for the off-road model. Gets you the locker, atrac, hill assist, couple other things im forgetting. So you get nice things to have if you werent planning to upgrade them anyways. The suspension is meh on any model and well worth upgrading on any model. Anything besides the atrac type stuff you can add yourself if you really want...like a transmission cooler or towing.

    As to which model in the sense of Single cab, access cab, double cab, long bed/short bed. Again just comes to use. If you need the room for passengers..DC. I went with the access cab and ripped out the rear area and built a platform. Opens the space up nicely and I can store a lot of crap inside. Not as much room as a DC but plenty of space to keep clothes dry, store my cooler, and some other things. DC with a long bed can be rough in our neck of the woods. Tighter trails so longer truck...you get the idea.

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Interesting. Have to look into this.. I think the only part not stainless on the All Pro is the bolt, which is grade 8 or 10. the center part that goes thru the ball and mounts in the top of the spindle appears to be S/S on the all pro as well. Is there some other part that should be S/S? What am I missing?

    Far as I can tell, both are chrome moly arms, Teflon cups, S/S balls and guts, high grade bolt.

    Edit:
    It's the race that the ball cup sits in that is chrome moly on the 1.25" arms! Found it!
    Good point @AWilson013 !

    I didn't realize that's what was happening, his sentence was weird and it made it sound like he was confusing me with someone else. Also seemed to be an out-of-the-blue request.

    @Navelfunk : Name of the game around here for offroading is nimbleness. 2nd gen or above is pushing the limits of what can get around on these trails, and it's the one factor you can't change.
    I went SB because I can't match the bed capacity or weight capacity of my dad's easily borrowable Dodge diesel. If you don't have such nice abilities, consider your truck to be either a toy with light work use, or a heavy work vehicle with light toy use. Trying to be everything doesn't work. Have the interior serve what you need of it. Don't expect to do long trips with 3 of your buds in an AC. Don't bother with a DC if you own a commuter car. That sort of thinking.

    The reason for a TRD package in a 2nd gen, if you are strictly eliminating/after-marketing all other things, is seats. Me likey the TRD seats.

    I drove nearly 6 years on that RC bench, and cannot wait for an armrest & a bucket seat! Alright, I've got some good advice here, it should definitely help me spend in the right places from the start.
    Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

    fyi, you can use the @ symbol followed by the user name, and it sends us a notification that you mentioned us. Also easier to make sure you have the spelling ;)

    Oh shit! We gotta swap brake lines... yeah we're not making gallagher.

    Edit: I know I'm not alone here... for some reason it seems next to impossible to get a good bleed on the taco brakes without a power bleeder. :mad:
    You should set up an appointment at les schwab for saturday morning.

    Les Schwab is, well, Les Schwab and more of a question if there is one in Cle Elum.

    Schwabbie-Barber is my less way of describing a savory job title of a rickey recruit in the military: (swabbing the deck means to mop and an ASVAB score of greater than zero, barber is just that and ASVAB of slightly higher)

    Did I lose ya yet???
