    Check your lug nuts and make sure it's not about to fall off if it's wobbling! :goingcrazy:

    Well my original plan was to cut the DO out of the bumper to mount my 10" rigid there (orange). But doesn't look like that is gonna work. So plan b is to use a tube mount and put the light between the tube and top of the plate. (Green)

    Down side is that the light won't be protected and would be the first point of contact on the front.

    This ^^ and not a huge fan of behind the grill mounts. Seems like you lose a lot of throw. May just be a placebo effect though.

    silly me, what was I thinking?

    he'd probably love to have the backside of that hoop lit up.

    I dropped my drain plug last week and thought I lost it. It was a miserable experience and the main reason I’m doing this

    I run them on the Taco and Durango and couldn't be happier on every oil change. :thumbsup:

    Edit: get the tube and adapter with them.

    message read


    " Looking to get a bare bones 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR Manual 6 Speed in Calvary Blue cheapest possible

    and you know me, i'm not paying for any dealer options, nothing else than what I asked for.

    Just saw this :eek::muscleflexing:
    Dynatrac Rear End Upgrade

    This story starts back around January 2017 or so if I recall correctly. A friend of mine tagged me in a post on Instagram about a giveaway from Dynatrac for a ProRock 60 Tacoma Builder's Kit Axle... I went ahead and entered because why not.

    Fast forward to May 11... I get this email...


    So the past couple of weeks have been some back and forth emailing with Dynatrac and the Marketing people for them to figure everything out and so forth along with talking to a few people on the best route to go with this in the long run...

    Fast forward to May 31st... Order placed today with Dynatrac for the other components of this setup and for them to set it up for me.

    September 14, 2017 Update - Still about 3 weeks out before shipment to me on this...


    https://www.dynatrac.com/axle-assem...r-s-kit-for-tacoma/prorock-60-for-tacoma.html
    • High-pinion ProRock 60 housing
    • High-strength 35-spline axleshafts compared to the stock 30-spline shafts

    • Axle tubes have 0.3125-inch wall thickness compared to 0.200-inch from the factory

    Before we started the disassembly of the stock rear end


    Still taking things apart!


    Stock Rear End is completely out finally!


    Stock Rear end vs Dynatrac Rear end


    Dynatrac Rear End Installed and Bolted Up to the Springs with the new UBolt Flip and Bump Stops
