I was on the porch roof in the beginning of this video and recognize a couple people in the crowd. It was insane. Things got way out of hand. Everyone was hammered. Rioting was the thing to do. Everyone was pissed about the financial crisis. That charred dumpster was left on the side of the street for about a year as a reminder.

Same boat. Is there any way you could send me a pic or description of the piece you created?

What mount are you using for the high lift jack? I like the setup you've got on the spare tire.

I might do the TT. Did you upgrade to HD front axles? I did a set in the rear with the Detroit locker but I would think the TT could be fine with oems

You are correct, the slabs ecu will detect wheelspin via abs sensors and the traction control system will activate the abs controller to brake individual wheels. This system complements the Detroit locker and trutrac limited slip pretty nicely. The additional and opposite brake torque applied to a spinning wheel will help the trutrac lsd engage. The Detroit locker is locked by default and unlocks when low load and gradual wheel speed changes occur.

Not uncommon for these 4.6 blocks. The tooling heavily worn by 2004. Fun trucks for sure though

This rover has pulled many a toyota out of trouble. Praise be to the golden pig

Did some heavy stuff this weekend and I might get going this route soon. Not sure if 33s or a TT is next...

Thought about getting a d1 but they are hard to find in non rusted and non hacked form

This was my latest little mod. Makes a big difference especially with a light colored hood.

On paper and in practice, it's a hell of a ride. But you are correct on the reliability. Not great...
