    Plz Help - Read Differential Replacement on 2004 v8

    After talking to Curtis and Steven at ECGS. We decided to go with a 4.11 gear ratio. It is 2WD, so no regearing the front? My speedometer was a little off from the new tires so I think a modest change from 3.73 to 4.11 will work ok. However, after speaking with them, they would also agree that...

    Plz Help - Read Differential Replacement on 2004 v8

    I just talked to ECGS. I'm going to get a new 3rd shipped tomorrow. I wanna just say thanks to everyone. You guys saved me from a big mistake. I went from a $2100 fix with a 30 day warranty to a $640 one with a 5 year warranty. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to help me out...

    Plz Help - Read Differential Replacement on 2004 v8

    Ender's Build Thread - 2004 SR5 V8

    Found a big ass site where they're developing a 400 home neighborhood outside of Austin, Texas. Decided to pull the running boards and hit the dirt hard. I was tempted to throw the windows down because it was 4-20 and we were close enough to hear the Willie Nelson Concert @ The Backyard.

    Resonator on the exhaust question....

    Momo Is that a tacoma skid I saw in one of your old pics? Also, I have a 14" Magnaflow, bout to cut the resonator, turn it and add a tip. But, I'm not a welder.... So, do I need to hang something to hold the new tip (does it wobble without the connection where the resonator used to be?)...

    Should I chop the resonator? Or just re-paint it? Either way, it currently looks like crap...

    Spiggie's Runner

    The part on the door that was originally silver (now blue), just below the window.... Did you somehow remove it from the door piece to paint it? Or just tape around it?? I'm not changing the color of mine, just want to re-paint them silver. Yours looks great though
