Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

All of you who have the differential skid plate installed... where does the cross member mount? Can you shoot some pics for me? That is the last piece I am missing and I need to get thinking about how to mount it up. Have some great fabricators coming back next year so it will be a nice project for someone. Also need to do that pesky exhaust cross over relocation... Thanks in advance

 

I choose not to run a diff skid. You end up loosing about 1/2 in ground clearance.

 

You guys all look like you had great weekends. I had to work part of it so I took the time to accomplish tasks around the house and then I gave my Tacoma a wash. Always enjoy giving it a little detailing while enjoying one of Wisconsins craft beers

 

Learned my first lesson with the softopper. Mowing/bagging the lawn. I figured it’d be nice and easy to dump the lawn clippings in the back of the truck with the topper folded down. It was, by upon arriving back I realized I should’ve closed the topper up befor driving as there were grass clippings in every crevice in the topper as I brought it back up. I spent a good 30-40 minutes with the hose in the back getting all of the grass out. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

 

I am concerned, as the factory bolt on thing is mangled-clearly I have gotten into it. Seems by looking at things I will only loose about a 1/4". Also, on another note I heard that Tom Woods is no longer doing Tacoma one piece drive shafts...

 

Yeah, I had to do work at home all weekend too, at least I got to do manly truck stuff.
16' boards fit just fine!

 

I've heard that also. I think a large part of it was their return policy, if it didn't solve the vibration issue you could get a full refund. To not make them at all is kind of over the top. Good thing I have 2 of them

Can always have Adams Driveshaft make one. It's not listed on their site but they'll sure do it for you if ever needed.

 

I have one too... just hoping when I get hung up on a rock and dent it that I can get it repaired...

 

I'll let you know. I still have one to send in for re-tube.

 

Cross member for a diff skid?

True but mangling the mating surface and springing a leak on the trail is kind of a worse problem to have in my opinion

 

Oh, do you mean the skid in the front (engine skidplate)? I thought you were talking rear diff skid.

 

Here's a few for your browsing pleasure.

Hopefully safelite don’t wreck your truck like they did mine

 

They F'd mine up too. Get OEM glass only!
