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!!

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?

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.

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...- 247

2000 Tacoma Suspension, Tire & Wheel Upgrade... 285/75R17 too big with 3" lift
Early Tacoma TechI'm the original owner of a 2000 V6 4x4. It's got 170K mi and has lived a mostly easy life. I installed a 3" RevTek spacer lift kit in 2003 (mistake) and have had issues with tire wear and rough ride since.

Idler pulley bearing
Early Tacoma TechAnyone know what the idler pulley bearing # is, ie 6201 or 6301 for a 3.4L? I replaced it at 150K miles with a rear hub bearing from a motorcycle shop but didn't write in my log what it was. Even better if you can tell me what bike rear hub is the same, I remember the bike shop required a bike...- 0

98 TRD v6, troubleshooting intermittent stumble
Early Tacoma TechI have a 98 V6 Tacoma, that has a frequent but intermittent stumble at mid RPM and part throttle. No CEL or stored codes, coil packs are original, plugs and wires were replaced in summer of 2018.
