thanks. please let me know how the install goes? I'm seriously considering going the same route.
Will do, I'm going to try and tackle it this afternoon. I'll keep you posted.

Headers are on! It wasn't as bad as everyone makes it sound. It took me about 4 1/2 hours to do both sides. The only thing that sucks is you can not get a torque wrench in there at all to torque to spec so I had to do it by feel. The exhaust leak is gone and there is definitely a noticeable power difference. This could be a lot more difficult if your exhaust bolts are rusty. I did give mine a few good coats of pb blasted prior to installation. Doug thorley says you can reuse all your stock exhaust donuts but I would not recommend it as they are a compression gasket and are not made to be reused.

Did DT ever get those certified for CARB compliance?
Over on Mud a few complained that their rigs didn't pass Cali DMV tests (some did, others did not).

WOW that was FAST!! Did you have to lift the engine out? I hear lots of horror stories about that.
Yes I did, it really wasn't bad though. It prob took about 15 min to take out the 2 trany mount bolts and the motor mount bolts and jack from the bell housing. I did not have to remove the steering shaft.

How are you finding the torsion-bar IFS compared to your coil IFS Tacoma? Any noticeable difference in ride quality between the two systems? Notice any major difference in front wheel travel between the two platforms? I know the 1st Gen Tacoma IFS isnt anything spectacular but is the torsion bar stuff even worse in terms of travel?
Very interested to see your thoughts as you run more trails with the 100.
