    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Yeah I easily went through a few cutoffs and flappers even after using a plasma to remove most of it

    Not here. Toyota parts are few and far between in MT/Wy.

    Eh I don't mind labor usually. Although time is everything these days. But probably the cheapest way to get rear discs. Not that that is a priority for me.

    Yep there’s something to be said for an as near to drop in replacement as possible when it comes to reusing as much of your existing hydraulic braking system, e brake, and lack of time sink on a project that is sandwiched in with a lot of other ones.

    Does the Sequoia axle use the mini truck and not an 8.4 diff? If so and you're concerned about breaking the T100 axle, just go with a 9" van axle and semi float shafts from dutchman with a rear disk kit from RS or solid axle industries that uses an e brake.

    Spending time cutting and welding on a housing truss for the T100 vs. a Sequoia axle would be better. The 9" RS truss worked for a couple guys including Silver Ghost I believe and I gave this one to Anthony to put on his Tundra axle which while he had to add and remove some here and there, he installed it on the truck so on a bench it should be pretty cake

    Thats true. It's about 8 hours to denver and i've done crazier things for parts before.

    No it uses the same 8.4 as my tacoma. So be a direct swap in. Which is nice.

    Going to a full 9'' would be awesome if I could find that right axle. I think to fit the WMS its a very specific van I'd have to find. I don't even remember what it was. But if I ever say Fuck it and go links I'd probably do that route. But Linking Frank is a ways off at this rate ha
