I gladly pay a premium for the few products left that are made on US soil with American labor. Kifaru packs are an excellent example of this. Impeccable quality, customer service, and made HERE.
I'll also pay a premium for Japanese products actually made in Japan. Lexus SUVs are a typical...
After sagging out and destroying two sets of the OME Dakars with the AAL, I finally sprung for some 9 leaf Deavers about 3 years ago. I should have done that out of the gate, and I haven't looked back. JMHO.
A few comments, since I've owned more 22re solid axle minis than one man should, including pickups and 4Runners, from dedicated trail rigs to a bone stock and super clean 85 xtra cab...
The OME springs are made for stock length shackles. Those aren't stock length shackles. A longer length...
Hey guys, couldn't find a WTB section. I need the center core assembly for the passenger side running board for an 08 GX 470. The extruded aluminum part. Figured at least a couple guys have removed theirs and have one laying around the garage...
Located in AZ, willing to pay shipping...
Order your replacement isolators from Wheelers, for a 99-06 tundra, and ditch the top plate spacer from Sonoran Steve. Use the Tundra Isolator, Tacoma Top Plate, and rock on. It's a tight fit into the coil tower, because the isolator has a bigger OD.
I've yet to see Sonoran Steel post up...
To the best of my knowledge Tacomas are built in production runs with trim packages they think will sell, so you can't custom order. If you can get the dealer to snag one "in line" that's what you want, that's the route I'd take. You may wait months for them to produce the...
When Toyota sticks that twin turbo diesel from the 200 series in a new Taco they'll have my attention. Until then...
Diesel swaps are mostly a novelty/boutique item, the cost of the swap is almost NEVER regained in a lifetime, and I've yet to see one in person that retained the original fit...
It's gonna be significantly narrower, by an inch or two, you're going to have to fab mounts, and it's not designed to work with your air bags.
I have an 84-85, 86-95, and Taco I could measure, but ain't goin out in the cold to do it right now...
I wouldn't even consider an AT for the type of use you're describing. Get the MS/2, enjoy the quiet, smooth ride, the MPGs, and the decent offroad performance, and don't look back.
For dedicated winter use, NOTHING compares to a true winter tire, and ANY mud terrain is the worst you could have. Driver skill be damned.
Back to the original question.
A mud terrain is going to be great in the mud, good in the rocks, and suck at everything else, especially MPGs, sand, snow...
Can't understand for the life of me why anyone would leave shackles mounted to the bumper when not actually in use and listen to them constantly rattle...
Never got taken till we lived in a nice neighborhood.
Tally since we "moved on up"
2 Bikes
3 Ipods
1 Nintendo DS
The rest is unknown.
I caught the little bastards in the alley and a bike and ipod showed back up...
I doubt they're doing a diesel in 14, but the notion that Toyota is afraid to step into a diesel market is laughable and displays an odd ignorance of diesel power outside of Detroit or the U.S....
The fact remains that the great majority of U.S. drivers prefer gas, and WILL until they can't...
Vents up high aside, marine grade lubes have emulsifiers that keep moisture suspended, reducing or preventing damage until you can flush/fill.
Anyone run automotive grade gear lube or witnessed the results in a "sealed" lower unit or outdrive?
