    those wheels look good on that truck, very nice color, too bad I couldn't find an 03 in that color, I'd have jumped on that in a heart beat.

    Yeah the light blue (not sure of the official name) was a color for the first couple years of the 1st gen, don't see it much anymore

    Be glad you can find parts in a local junkyard. Just about everyone around here has no Tacoma or 4-runners available for parts.

    Check that the CVs don't bind at full droop before you set it back down. Part store CVs are known for that.

    Very little this time around. Pulled the front diff a few times, so I have the process down. Went smoother than normal this time too.

    I lucked out on this one. Only a couple hundred bucks too

    Oh, I know it. I've grenaded quite a few auto part store cv's

    Any chance you'd consider a front locker to have less risk of grenading the spiders again?

    As soon as 4wheelunderground releases his superduty link kit I'll have a locked one ton in it's place. No more pulling this dumb diff! If I were staying IFS I'd put a locker in it, but I'm not throwing more money at it. Just need it together enough to last one more snow season

    Well fellows I did something to mine no today but last Friday... SOLD it. Enjoyed the hell out of it in the almost 5 years i owned it but it was time for more room and a few more creature comforts. Got $1500 more than I paid for it so didn't do to bad. I have moved to the dark side!
    Gone on it's merry way:
