    His IG profile also says it's a 3 link, but the pics are obviously 4 link with panhard. He probably doesn't know what he has, just dropped it off at a fabricator. It's easy when you're spending daddy's money.

    That's what I said. Trail gear.

    She's alive!

    Love the three branch hanging from the belly of the the truck onf first part of the clip. The truck is growing trees since it's been so long :D

    It's amazing to see how many people have purchased those TG axles over the past several years. Never thought they would become popular... but it doesn't surprise me it was the axle of choice for that build :D

    The only thing wrong with that Trail Gear Axle is its under too much truck for it. Have you guys actually seen and handled one of those Rock Assault Housings? They're pretty nice...no D60 but for a mini-truck...I'd run one.

    I confess that the first time I saw one in person last year I was impressed with the quality of it. Sure, they are not as customizable as a diamond axle but for the price and based on what I saw I think they are worth the money.

    Amazing stance man. That's a really cool rig you got there.

    What are you doing for the brakes? Are you upgrading. Maybe you posted about it already but I can't remember.

    I just bought some t100 1ton brake parts from a forum member. My truck still has the factory MC and booster. It stops ok with the 40"s, but the brakes do not have the same power and response they did before. Those 1 ton calipers are significantly bigger than what I had before.

    Maybe you can still use the factory parts with 37"s:confused:

    Thanks! I'm running the stock rotors and calipers. Just have to make hardlines from the MC down to the firewall down to the top link.
    If they don't seem strong enough I'll go with a big brake kit and larger MC. The TRD OR with tow package has a pretty big MC already and is hydro assisted vs vacuum.

    Ah that's interesting. I didn't know about the TRD brakes being hydro assisted. Would be curious to see how they go work if you end up going that route

    Just hooked it up and bled the system. Feel like stock brakes! Stops fine. But ABS and BRAKE dash lights are on...

    Because your front abs sensors are gone and you may or may not have the worm gear sensor hooked up to your tcase.

    Yeah, I knew they would be on. Speed is taken off the rear axle.
