    Toytec coilovers. Height adjustable Bilstein's. 265/75/16 MT. TRD wheels. Rebuilt r150f. Marlin clutch kit. All kinds of new parts...
    I just had my R150F rebuilt. I also replaced the input shaft on mine as the bearing put some marks on it. Only after 186K miles. my pickup was driven previously by what appeared to be a jackass. New synchros, bearings etc. Cost as much as a TRD supercharger kit but might as well :)

    Still haven't had time to tear mine down but now that I got all the parts I am. I will check my input shaft when I get to that point and see if I need a new one.

    Update.... Ended up needing an input shaft in the trans. Replaced every bearing, synchro, seal in the transmission. Had some help from a veteran transmission rebuilder for several local Toyota dealerships. Lots of detent balls that must go back in the correct location. All in all not to bad physically to do. We used a steering wheel puller, gear puller, and a 30 ton press with air jack. Now I just need to get the transmission back in the truck and see how she drives. According to the guy helping me the key is be gentle with everything and do not force it back together.
