AFAIK, they are made for the Hilux, which is a different animal. None for the Tacoma to my knowledge. I'm not saying they might not be able to fit, but it would probably be a matter of actually getting one to find out for sure. They should have dimensional dwgs. though, that would give you a...

Ahhh, thanks for the correction Nathan. I have seen some TLC guys with them, so I assumed they could be had through ARB dealers.

NICE! I like your oil cap too. ;)

You're welcome!! :beer: Hey, excellent story!! I dig it :ylsmoke: An ExPo cook-off at your place? I would like to volunteer to be a judge. :D If I have to prepare a dish, it will be seasoned crickets in a big wok.

I agree on the ARB. Selectable is best for this application as far as I'm concerned. (unless your Taco is a trail rig only). There is no other selectable locker for the Tacoma front diff as far as I know.

Yes, they are available through US distributors (Nathan at Pangea comes to mind), but they are likely not a stock item and would have to be special ordered.

Thanks guys ;) :xxrotflma Fatman, I appreciate your offer! However... I plan to utilize the BajaTaco until I no longer trust it on long trips. And if Jonathans FJ40 is any indication of that potential, it could take a very long time to reach that point. Having said that, I am still keeping...

I must be one of the lucky guys. 128,000 miles on the original rotors. Maybe because I have a manual trans?

You certainly won't be getting any flames from me. I think quite a lot of 4wd Toyota fans feel the way you do and for good reason. I even had my own "sigh" in the previous post, and am also disappointed about the diesel situation. Now that I have used the newer Toyota IFS for my particular...

Sounds like good material for a book! A BIG coffee table book!

I don't think I have ever seen OEM limit straps on Toyotas. But yea, I see your point about the coils. I just figured the linkage and coils would be maxed before the shocks ever would - although I have seen plenty of coils well out of their buckets.

It'll be tough to top those :ylsmoke: Good ones Graham!

OK, until this vehicle gets its own forum section, I'll put the discussion here. I'm sure many of you may have seen the new pictures and info coming from recent coverage at the SEMA show 2005. They had a blue FJ cruiser at the show outfitted with some key things that most serious 4wd...

:jump: Hmmm... well, I guess it depends on the shock construction. Maybe the (factory?) TLC shocks are up to the task of hanging onto a LC axle/wheel... I dunno. Here is what happened to me one time when I used a shock that wasn't long enough...

John, from what you said, I get the impression that the shocks are the limiting factor to the travel of the suspension?? :Wow1: That's doesn't seem right. :confused: The springs should be the limiting factor, or else the shocks would be destroyed by the impact of the weight of the vehicle (on...

Oh man, this thread is incredible. I am getting sooooo hungry. One of my favorite camp meals of all time has to be one that we had in Baja... (who would have thunkit). Maybe it was so good because there is a fun story to it. We were camped out at this place and had been exploring another...

Some very cool photos n this thread :cool: I don't think I can pick a favorite, but a few that I like... Wat Si Chum at Sukhothai in Thailand A majestic 50-foot tall Buddha resides within this walled enlosure, built in this ancient city founded in the first half of the 13th century...

I've always liked the old washing machine drums, though I know that doesn't fit the size criteria you mentioned. The drums are cool because there is no fab needed, they have excellent air circulation (due to all of the little holes in the sides) and they are nice and deep allowing for a fair...

Man, you aren't kidding! Some of the stuff I see over there... :( Welcome to the forum Alpinestar :beer: I 2nd what Jonathan said about tires. Unfortunately, tires are so dang expensive, but you have to have them regardless, so may as well get some really good ones.

The list never ends. I have uncanny luck with tires, coupled with the fact that I don't do many super difficult trails (and no hard-core), so I can't justify the expense. It would also add about another 20 lbs. to my truck. Tires are already at a premium, so I will probably not be getting any...
