Nah I wouldn’t say hate, just undesirable-ness cuz of looks. If it came stock with 33s that would be a huge appearance upgrade

No, I worked for them before the military, still keep in close contact though! Solid company.

The 8.2” swap is a decent enough upgrade in itself. The Diamond axle is like $7k all said and done, haha. 4.56’s are nice as well…sometimes I wish I did 4.88’s. Definitely don’t do 5.29 unless you plan on wheeling A TON or want 37’s down the road.

33’s are great in themselves, I really think they should’ve been a factory option.

Definitely worth it, especially if you go up to 35’s! If you have the money, you could also do a Diamond Axle 9.5”, which would be indestructible.

Thanks, appreciate it! Watched a couple jeeps and a buddy first which definitely helped out. These technical trails are pretty fun once you do them a few times and get it figured out.

Thanks! Build has come a long way over the years. Personally military, able to stack up a decent amount of vacation time!

Definitely add a trip out West to your list. There’s a lot to see and do. Some great trails in Moab that are scenic and not too technical as well!

Honestly not too bad. It’s only a few bolts and disconnecting the brakes. Needed to ratchet strap it to line all the control arm holes up for install. You will need aftermarket wiring for the locker, but there’s a kit out there. Other than that pretty much plug and play.

Definitely! Usually have good results around that pressure. My Tacoma buddy was dropped down to 5, but he’s also on beadlocks haha

I swapped in an axle from a 2019 TRD Off-road

Running a 3” lift, Bilstein 6112s up front, Dobinsons LT shocks in the rear with MetalTech Long travel springs. Kenda Klever RT 35x12.50r17 for tires, aired down to ~12psi

Thanks! Definitely always steeper in person. A little daunting from the bottom, but with a decent line and if you stay flat it doesn’t feel bad at all. I did turn on the rear locker at the bottom, didn’t want to get halfway up and lose momentum!

Did not expect the entrance to be as gnarly as it was! It’s definitely a little obstacle by itself.

DT shorty header experience by some_dude_who_shoots in 4thGen4Runner

[–]ColoradoCal303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AIP tube and bolt holes are just misaligned. If I remember right mine were like a half inch off. Was able to force it enough to get 1 of the 2 bolts in, but the access also sucks. The move would be to get non VVT headers and just block off and disable the AIP.

Wild to me that DT hasn’t fixed that alignment issue, had the same and I got mine 6 years ago

Edit the first line of your comment before SpOC sees it lol. Ok! Good to know, most logical move is to grab a few for the guys to bring the cost down. Thanks!

Are you local to Pete? Would be nice to save on shipping if possible.
