missed a ton of pages. had to comment so the replies all show back up on my alerts. . .

 

Bunch of babble. You didn't miss anything important.

 

Trying to get my pile of junk ready for the fall trips. Need a new steering rack among other things.

$150 for a craigslist OEM rack with 75k miles or would a remanufactured be better for a bit more money?

 

No experience personally, but I've read nothing but bad reviews about the rack doctor remans.

 

Yeah me too, a lot of bad reviews. Just want to see what those who know more think.

 

When I was going to swap out my rack I was going to get one off of Rock Auto. Prices seemed fair and good quality ones. but that's just me. It was advice given from Levi so its not necessarily the most credible. . . .haha

 

How hard would it be for me to throw in an E-Locker for my rear end?

 

Here's a set of TRD Rock Warrior wheels for $500 for anyone who can use the 5 lug pattern. I'd be all over them if they were 6's.

I think Levi is expecting something in his steering to break next trip out but 37s lol

I believe he is running a reman'd

If you're talking about the factory elocker, You would need the entire axle. The elocker version is smaller than the non elocker. 8.0" vs 8.4" IIRC.

Not sure what all else you'd need, but I'm sure you can find it here somewhere.

Have you considered an ARB or a mechanical locker?


Why do you want a locker?

 

The same reason anyone else wants a locker...


Drifting, duh?

 

Also, spendy but here's another option.

Guess I could have a go at drifting lol.
I'd like for it to do better off pavement, (although I know tires would help me there)
From my minuscule amount of research, I've found that the V6 TRD trucks came with the locker, leading me to believe that I have the 4WD axle, but no locker.
Haven't looked into mechanical or other branded lockers, just figured it'd be easier to throw one in that already came on our

trucks

 

I have no idea. Ha ha.

 

As much as I wish my truck was 4wd, it does what I need it to, gets better gas mileage than most of y'all, and has way less parts to break. If I were to do it all over again I'd probably get 4wd but I'd also break it a lot more often I'm sure.

 

That's kind of what I was trying to say. I wasn't trying to be a dick. But in retrospect having the option you would've gone 4x4 before building 1st correct?

 

You're fine. Lmao. In retrospect I should've held out and bought a 4x4 first. I bought a 2wd because I never intended to off-road it and I really needed a vehicle. Was kinda in a pinch. If I had to do it all over again with this truck I probably would've gone 4x4 on a kinda cheap 3inch lift and made 35's fit then sliders, skids, and bumpers.
