    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    They swap easy though. But yeah, leaf springs, lame axles, gutless engine. They do look good

    Should be good. Be a lot more time with the grinder is all.

    Eh I mean there have been plenty if guys with the tundra/t100 setup that don't hold back and don't have many issues. It will last longer than you think I bet.

    We can hope so, they're certainly a lot lighter than any other axles out there, so I'd like to have it instead.

    Also, why waste time with the death wheel when I can take a plasma to it lol.

    Ah well if you have a plasma then yeah haha still gonna have to grind a lot of stuff down. But not bad really considering the disc brakes.

    The T100 MC will bolt right in as well and would probably suffice

    Well, I found out that icon tubular UCA don’t use 1” uniballs like every other uca. The hard way. Oh well luckily it wasn’t a ton of work. Ordered the right uniballs. Took the time on the lift to at least rotate my tires

    They are smaller in diameter. No delta joints. No ready to pay 4-5 times the uniball price for those

    How come? Seems like it would be good at preventing rust from the inside of the bumpers.

    I have had one of these Primeweld Cut 60 units for over a year now. It is a great option for not so much money. 3yr no shipping cost warranty. US based 24/7 customer service.

    New Backup camera, mounted next to tailgate handle. Its nice to have it mounted up high to actually be able to see your rear bumper.

    Next three days in the garage woo-hoo! Starting off by getting the transmission, bell housing and transfer case split. Then clean, re-seal and install new plugs, test fit the MC short throw shifter and install new reverse switch.

    Gonna be an awesome weekend!

    A bunch of the same stuff everybody else has already done.
    Pulled off my sway bar today, what a noticeable free mod! It’s smoother on the road now and since I have OME 883s up front it’s still plenty stiff enough without excessive body roll. Jammed down a gravel road near my house I didn’t even know was there, gotta love that
