    The LSD in the 8.4 was mechanical. 2nd gen tacos had it as well from 05-08 before ATRAC took over for it. Its a true clutch LSD.

    How do dealer-installed LSDs fit in? Would a dealer use a complete LSD with gears, or would they order a bare LSD and swap the gears?

    I'm currently running the Marlin kit right now and have been super happy with it even with hard wheeling and heavy clutch work. I guess the concern here is how much heavier it might feel when crawling.

    the LCE is stock feeling, I wish it was heavier. I used to have and ACT2600 in my old eclipse which was a leg workout, loved it!

    That doesn't look good for other drivers. Take a night shot behind another vehicle. If you can see their rearview mirror then that's no bueno.

    on behalf of all other drivers you'll be blinding...fuck you lol

    Those head lights are illegal AF. Would not run those on the road.

    Look for something like this:

    Various makes that make lights like that, those are DOT approved and work much better.
