    75-140 synthetic in trans?

    Well, I switched to the MT-90 and can definitely tell the difference. I would bet mine was the original fluid at 74k miles (bought it used). I overfilled mine by 4 or 5 oz just to see if it would smooth out the shifting a bit. Either way, it's better.

    Tacoma 4 Piston Caliper with ISF 345mm Rotor Bracket

    Personally I plan on using an existing Lexus caliper and rotor. I know for a fact that many of the LS calipers are 4 piston aluminum, and can get either rebuilt or lightly used for less than Willwood. Also, when times comes to replace, it's factory parts.

    75-140 synthetic in trans?

    I know, I know, the standard is 75-90 GL4 (Redline MT-90) I bought mine used with 80k miles. While the trans doesn't feel "problematic", it's not exactly smooth. Curious if ANYONE has tried a heavier oil. Note: I did add URD's short shifter. I understand that might add a little to it, but...

    Trade stock LSD for open plus cash.

    I've turned my EX runner into a utility truck. lengthened it 16". The LSD kinda effects my turning ratio and tire wear. I understand the later models use an open diff and ABS for the LSD. This one works great and no noise, under 80k miles. Trade only.

    Idea for an actual, affordable brake upgrade-$500

    Nevermind. Just found $300 for the brackets. I can make my own. Cool though.

    Idea for an actual, affordable brake upgrade-$500

    Ok cool. How much is PBU charging? Just registered but .....waiting for the owner to approve? And just looking at that, pretty sure I can fabricate that. Won't look as pretty, but I'm modifying a salvage XR as a utility truck and would like the extra stopping power.

    Idea for an actual, affordable brake upgrade-$500

    Check the specs of the GX470. They're bigger but not by a whole lot.

    Idea for an actual, affordable brake upgrade-$500

    I actually cant believe no one has thought of this yet. Lexus uses the same bolt patter and hub bore as our trucks. Our rotor is 10.8" diameter, the 04 Lexus LS430 uses a 12.4" rotor. The LS430 also uses a 4 piston aluminum caliper. The calipers run about $80 plus $40 core ..ish. Rotors...

    Body kit parts/hood

    Pics Irunnit I'm keeping the flares for now. I do have the Left Front bed piece but the exhaust cutout piece was pretty banged up. Here are pics of the part I do have. It does have scuffing on the underside which I'm guessing is pretty common on these trucks. $50 plus shipping. A new piece...
