    So far I really like it. Of course it's a little loader becuse I removed the baffle but it sounds meatier and I can't confirm it because placebo but I think I may have gained a little hp as well.

    now you can go in the deeeeeeeeeep mud holes. sweeeet. a shower drain on it would help so it doesn't suck up leaves. that area on my truck fills up with oak leaves and acorns.

    I do actually have a drain that fits but at high rpms it whistled so I removed it for now.

    I'm planing on doing one. This mod was probably this biggest pita mod I've done so far but I've learned enough to help reduce the struggle.

    Anyone here using an aftermarket bump stop? I feel like the stocks ones are horribly hard.

Took the afternoon and destroyed an 8" C clamp and had to run out to ACE for a new one but I am happy with having a normal looking Taco now. My 235s are looking a bit small but the are not going any where for a while.

    Shackleflip done today by Torfab in Everett WA gave me a full 1 inch of lift in the rear.

    Do you do any off-roading? 3in BL is pretty excessive. 1 is the most I would do IMO.
