thanks! I figured it had to be.

shot in the dark, would like to buy a 2006 up sport hood in shadow mica. My non sport hood has fresh paint and can include in deal. i'm a sucker for non functioning sport hoods. Bay Area and willing to drive within california

trucks are looking good! enjoy the sierras!

285 bfgs, bilstein/toytec springs in the rear, icons in the front.

Hows the pinion angle look? Might be something to look at for the rear end noise.

Man, this seems like a great option for a daily. Hearing my rearend click and bang on every corner is getting old. If I didn't already source an elocker id be all over one of these.

New to the 4th gen game, but I've had a couple 3rd gens and a taco with an elocker. A locked 3rd gen will get you pretty much anywhere you need to go. Obviously these 4th gens are a bit bigger and less nimble but I'd assume you'd be fine with having just the rear locked. Another thing to...

score! that's not bad at all. sell your old axle for a chunk of change.

Good to know, I always see there ads on craigslist so figured they have a pretty big inventory. Yotamasters has a used elocker motor for 250 if anyone is on the hunt. I've bought through them numerous times and they are super helpful.

You will need the low pinion plug I believe. One thing to keep in mind is I think you will need to send them an elocker 3rd as your core in order to get it for that low of a price. I would probably give them a call and see If they will accept an open third member as a core. I'm sure you can find...

Look up rancho toyota recycling. They are in sacramento and have a ton of inventory. I'm sure they could source a diff and ship it. not sure on the pricing.

I think eaton/harrop is the same thing if i'm not mistaken. If you're going to regear i think your best bet is to go east coast gear. If you're planning on staying with your stock setup its probably better to find a used setup. all in i'm at $550 for the third member and gaskets/studs/harness.
