    only way that would even matter is if you only jacked up one side. but if your lifted you could just leave it on its wheels and own weight. I never jack my truck up to play with the skids. lots of room under there. I do use a jack to lift the skids into place to bolt them down.

    ahha thanks. I used to live out your way, but came back to the right coast. I was tagging this fellow first gen owner so he could get out and try his new 4x4

    I wish I was still out there for some wheeling.

    AAACK! I'm at work! Oh well, I rotated my tires front to back this morning while getting paid to do nothing else. Figured out why the hub center covers ( steel ) are cracked inside the aluminum wheels. Galvanic corrosion anyone? Yep, this truck came from the rust belt ( Omaha ). What's everyone's favorite spray on rust converting appellation? For frame and under bed, rear axle, etc.

    On the same subject, while I had the wheels off, I gave the CV joints a good shake, and the driver's side inner has a lot of movement. Could this be an indication that it's gone, or that the needle bearing in the front diff is gone? Is there a way to tell the difference between the two before I take it all apart?

    Trying ( increasingly desperately ) to get the wife to go "camping" WHEELING next weekend... :)

    That's what I'm wondering. There's been a bit of a vibe, not that bad, not too noisy. How can I tell if it's the bearing or the CV itself?
    And there is an ECGS for the 2004 Taco? do I have a 7.5 diff or an 8?

    Thanks!
