    Anyone running a custom drive shaft after lifting your truck such as Tom woods? I don’t know a ton about custom drive shafts though.

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I'm considering changing out my stock differential on a 2017 4x4 TRD-OR. Is there anyone who has made the gear change but kept the truck mostly stock? Pros and cons? Did anyone add a front locker as a part of the change?

    Hello, I have a 2017 Tacoma 4x4 crew cab long box. I just purchased SCS Ray 10’s with KO2’s 265/70/r17’s on their way.

    A Better Diff Breather Mod - No Drilling Required

    Yesterday I re-did my diff breather mod because I wasn't happy with it being relocated inside of the bed storage cubby. This time I mounted it behind the driver's side tail light using all pre-existing holes in the body and frame. Installation is extremely simple and the end result is much...
