Somewhere in the mix I had done the rear diff breather mod and ran it up into the engine bay. Probably going to change the location to the gas filler door area. Also Plastidipped the chrome trim and am really wanting to get rid of the roof rack for an aftermarket. I just hate chrome.

Looks good! Are you happy with the EBC pads and rotors? I just installed my ARB front bumper/winch and my CBI rear should be here in a few weeks, so I've shortlisted a brake upgrade to deal with the extra weight.

Over the fall/winter of 2014/15 I started to compile some other parts. These sat for a while. Included is a Rokmen adjustable rear track bar, Cobra CB radio and other parts to go with it, LED cube lights for my rear bumper, Nitro 4.56 gears, Nitro master front and rear diff rebuild kits, ECGS needle bearing bushing and ARB air locker. Gears, needle bearing bushing and rear locker are now installed but have yet to wire up the compressor as I run as fast as I can in the opposite direction when I see any types of wires. So if there's anyone out there, please help me lol. Back to the earlier post about buying new hubs and bearings; This needle bearing bushing helps dramatically. It tightens up the gap of the inner cv on the driver side. So if you're hearing a humming/constant groan, it may most likely be that small gap. Toyota does not hone down the casting in there and causes that noise while driving.

Now for the fun stuff. I have been wanting to upgrade my front suspension for quite some time. I wanted to go with a 2.5" shock body and different UCAs. After over 3 years with the Light Racing ones, I've just gotten fed up with them. I've replaced the bushings 3 times. They are alright for street driving but I didn't feel they held up well with wheeling. One thing led to another and this is the out come. Total Chaos Race Version Long Travel full kit. Also purchased 3 Total Chaos axle shafts so I can build one to have as a spare. Also purchased Total Chaos' weld on spindle gussets. Along with this, I ordered an RCI rear diff skid.

Installed the RCI rear diff skid, Rokmen fully adjustable rear track bar and mounted the rear Extreme LED Solutions lights for my rear bumper.

Installed 2 of the three +2" Total Chaos axle shafts. I had bought two genuine Toyota axles/cv(as they only come fully assembled) and replaced the shafts. I'll replace the third one when the front stock axles come off of my truck. Maybe buy another one so I have 2 spares.

Good deal, man. I was pretty happy with it. But it's feeling like they may need replacing and you can't mill down the slotted rotors. I'll probably go back to a stock rotor with better pads.

Did you have any symptoms that led you to install the ECGS bushing or was it one of those "while I'm in there" things?
I've got a rubbing sound that only appears when the suspension is compressed. It doesn't happen in 4WD though so I'm wondering if it's the needle bearing going out.

Yeah, I had a constant groan coming from it. But yeah, since I was going to have it open, it was the best time to do it. You can install it without taking the front diff apart. Just need to take that cv out.

Can't forget the personalized badges that were going around. Mine is appropriately named "Money Pit".
