    This was getting the monumental first bolt into the diff. I don't have any after that of the front. I can take some final one tomorrow

    Yea I've read up on it. I know I'm supposed to baby it. Get it warm for 15-20 mins, then let it cool. After that don't let the diff get too hot and keep it under 55 for the first 500 miles.

    Perhaps this is the reason for the clunking sound on accel/decal/shift and my driveline vibrations?

    I was hoping someone would see the box in the pic and comment on the Moogs. I had a feeling that was the case. I was tempted to replace all three but want to get better quality ones off rock auto. It's nice that all 3 are the same.

    Well, that was easy. 10 bolts, a couple clips, and a few whacks with a hammer. I love when things go smoothly.

    On a more positive note, I'm almost at the 200 mile mark breaking in my gears, and I got the airlines installed for the lockers. Now that I drilled two new holes in the cab, I'm still making the final decision on relocating the air compressor to the bed with an accessible disconnect for tires, or leaving it in the cab, but for now the back seats and trim have been reinstalled with the compressor in its original location.

    If I had a 2nd gen Taco, I would take the big cubby in the bed, cut it out, make a bracket to mount the compressor back there with the door as an access. I have a Tundra and can't do cool stuff like that though.

    Yessir! Technically they've been installed since August but I got everything buttoned up on the compressor and airlines last weekend so they are fully functional now.
