    Yeah you're right. But it would "save" me money for a bit and I'll be twin-locked. Haha

    I should be fine with my current U-bolts since they're fresh OME ones that don't have that many miles on them. But yeah everything will be torqued to spec, I'll buy my buddy new u-bolts too. Thanks for the suggestion.

    He has a DC TRD Prerunner, so I'm like 99% sure he has ABS. Lol. I don't have ABS

    What about your gearing? Have you compared your axle codes to see if you have the same gear ratio?
