A locker will get you through times of no flares better than flares will get through times of no locker.Crazydawgb said:Got a big decision to make right now. Got some money for Christmas and I actually have enough to buy either one. The problem is which one? Suggestions would be helpful!!
(BONUS POINTS: name the obscure reference I just paraphrased

locker for sure
Definatley go with the locker. It will be much more helpful offroad then flaresCrazydawgb said:Got a big decision to make right now. Got some money for Christmas and I actually have enough to buy either one. The problem is which one? Suggestions would be helpful!!

ABSOLUTELY, you win!!!grumpy said:pot will get you thru times of no money better then money will get you thru times of no pot!!!

Both will give you more traction, but after one use, the flares are gonna be a little mangled!! Go with the locker!
locker
I'd say the locker if you're offroad a good bit. Cause, like every1's said, it'll get you thru more than some damn flares. Even though, flares do look cool!Crazydawgb said:Got a big decision to make right now. Got some money for Christmas and I actually have enough to buy either one. The problem is which one?

I have a used set of TRD flares for sale, replaced with cutouts. godd shape some straches. sure then can be sanded out if wanted.Crazydawgb said:Got a big decision to make right now.

asking $200 plus shipping.
Ok, It looks like a locker it is. Is there any place cheaper than this, also is this the right lockright for my truck?

Bump for this last bit of info before I order it!!
it doesnt say if its for a TRD or non TRD...not positive if it matters but i think it might
If this is your daily driver, I say buy the flares, and save for a selectable locker.Crazydawgb said:Bump for this last bit of info before I order it!!
fit good. only trim 1" fro mfront and rear of the rear wheel wells and 1" from rear of front wheelwell. I actully trm more like 1.25-1.5". and the trimming only goes up to the 3rd and 4th plastic mount holes from the TRD's.98 Taco said:
I now have a digicam send me your addy and I'll take some for you. Any particular angle you want??
thx about the swap, truck rides sweet. Kudo's to Brian at FROR for suggesting the toy springs up front and to Randy at AOR4x4 for getting the the springs made so it rides great. Still needs little work but its trail worthy.

No question locker for sure the flares can wait .

Blinking cruise control MIL, but everything still works perfectly normal.

Everything works as it should. Sets, cancels, goes up and down 1 mph with the press up or down on the...- 3

5VZ-FE (3.4L) Lifespan
Early Tacoma TechThe 2.4/2.7L Toyota engines are known for their extreme longevity, and there are even some reports on here of 3.0L V6's pushing over 250k. After hitting 150k today in my truck, I am curious how much longer other 3.4L's have gone without being rebuilt. I drive the shit out of my truck, about 3k...- 241
