    You 4x4?

    You could build a t case parking brake. It make some noise but so far it works.

    I started with a Ballistic fab kit and made my own arm to clear the fuel filter and add some leverage.

    My Tacoma is going to Solo soon to prototype their 1st Gen 4x4 XLT kit. It is a 4.5" over kit with fabricated spindles, Currie axles, and Warn manual hubs. It will pull 18" of travel bumped and strapped with functioning four wheel drive. Just waiting on shocks from King and for my kit to be built.

    Anyone have clever ways of mounting their jacks and spare tools in a 2nd gen short bed? Im thinking about getting one of those tongue boxs for little trailers that they sell at harbor freight and mounting the 1.5 ton jack I just picked up today, tow straps, misc tools. I dont want to mount just the jack due to weather, space, and theft. I was thinking of mounting it either against the tailgate or up front towards the front of the bed and making it quick release or removable so I can still use the bed for hauling the dirtbikes or surfboards. Just thinking out loud, any thoughts?

    I guess I could always mount the jack behind the seat back seat maybe? But I figured the extra weight in the bed would help with handling since im spring under.

    Anyone run H70 springs on first gen Tacoma ? I load two dirt bikes and camping gear in the back. And I heard F67 sag a lot with that much weight. Truck will be cantilevered if it makes a difference...
