Welcome to TOR. Nice truck, looking forward to seeing more pics.

Looks good man. Glad to have you over here. Are those Tundra rims?

I have always liked those rims. They are first gen Tundra / Sequia.

Are those Tundra rims?

No. They may have been at some point, but they are now Tacoma rims.

I have always liked those rims. They are first gen Tundra / Sequia.

I've gotten a ton of compliments on them and some offers to buy. Apparently they are relatively hard to find and widely liked. I have beaten the shit out of them and they're covered in rock rash.

Blowed Up Rear Diff:

Yet further evidence the E-locker has no business being in the new tacoma

 

[Jandrews]

Yet further evidence the E-locker needs a 9.5" ring gear in the new tacoma

:X

Blowed Up Rear Diff:

That is very impressive! I've done my fair share of r&p damage over the years, but that is very impressive!!!

The bent carrier plate is kind of a pisser...not sure this thing is rebuildable...gotta drag it down to the boys at ECGS and see what they think...

A few more "pics", as the kids call 'em these days:

Has to be the best stock bumper destruction I've seen

While you are at it see if they've sent Murphy's back to CA - I understand he misses it!

 

[Jandrews]

Sometimes skid plates get dented in...

Note here that the square-tube crossmember has been bent upward...you can't tell, but the transfer case skid plate is actually lightly contacting the transfer case. I did this by putting essentially the entire truck on that skid plate and crossmember with 3 wheels off the ground. Remove the skid plate and crossmember and beat them senseless with an enormous sledge to restore shape. They're back on the truck now.

 

[drew02a]

Are those All Pro?

 

[Jandrews]

Are those All Pro?

That is funny.

I don't even want to think what would've happened to all my expensive drive train bits if I had been running All-Poo skids during these incidents.

 

[bakerla]

wtf.

Minor Carnage to Date:

Blowed Up Rear Diff:

All I ever hear about anymore is people fucking up the e-locker rear ends of the later model 2nd gens. It's rather disappointing...

Good move on your part, looks like you'll fit right in. Good job on that ring gear
