    I have one but never installed it. Seemed like a lot of work for what it does. My CV angles aren't too bad either.

    I've changed CVs on my tacoma. They are easy if you have all the tools. Doing it without a slide hammer? :anonymous: 3 hours

    With a slide hammer 1 hour.

    Easy stuff


    First I've read about different drop kits. Glad I was too cheap to buy one of those lol

    That's what I used. Had to mar up the plastic to fit it into between the diff. Things would have been waaaay easier with a slide hammer though

    Yeah probably. Why do you have to tub? Just because you aren't lifted? Or are they larger than 33s?

    What's up guys? I've been crazy busy recently with trainings, mission preps, field exercises, etc. I'm on a support mission in Fairbanks right now, but as a redundancy so I'm not even needed for the next 2 weeks. Basically on vacation haha. What have I missed?

    We were in the process of setting up a snowball fight between the 3 Mikes and 3 Kyles and then the kiles scared themselves and bitched out. Mikes won by default

    I will disagree. The offset to clear the UCAs will push the tire out pretty far. Probably looking at a 4" offset min with a chance of rubbing at low tire pressure.

    With the movement out that far he will have to clear out his cab mounts to fit the same as 35/12.50s at full turn both ways. Its going to be an endeavor FUR SURE
