    More than likely, no. These help more with taking the key out of the ignition after turning the truck off. My 3.4 auto also lags before going into reverse on initial startup and I run my own bushings.

    Depends on the truck. All of the Tacomas that I have worked on used 4 while a 4Runner I worked on had 2. I can't remember if there are Tacomas that only have 2, I don't think so...

    Replaced my LBJ's with oem Toyota parts. For something that's over 200k & nearly 20 years old, the original ones were still in pretty good shape. No play and the factory grease was still present. Still, did it for peace of mind. And nothing makes the job easier than the proper tools!

    Gently used gen3 takeoffs are quite agreeable on the gen1

    after an epic battle between rusty lug nuts and a 4’ breaker bar, we’re in business

    Top of the world today! Great trail, no issues with the truck. Glad to have the armor I don’t think I would do it stock like I’ve seen some people do, used it all.

    Love that trail. But yeah it's not as easy a it was. Definitely not a easy "stock" trail anymore.

    Got everything pretty much buttoned up. Just have to bleed the brakes in the am and she’s rollin again!

    upgraded to 883’s, tundra brakes, and manual locking hub swap. Didn’t even swear much at all. Went together seamlessly except the 1 abs connector
