congrats dude! let me know if you have any questions. aside from kristian at 74weld i might have the most portal miles on a 4th gen tacoma. 🫡 if you’ve got a tuner make sure they help tune 1st gear right, out of the box tunes need some work for the great reductions you’re getting with portals...

Dude! Love your IG. The guy I worked with at Cam Tuning has tuned subarus for 20+ years. Hes a wealth of knowledge, I still text him back and forth post install about different ideas. Obviously there's some unknowns here, if you run a custom tune that pushes the turbo too hard and something...

Build Update: Ditched the Heim Joint Links for 74Weld Billet Flex Joints Been a minute since I posted an update here. This one has been brewing for a while and I wanted to share the full story because I think a lot of people in the 4th gen community are making the same decision I was facing...

The CBI Offroad Covert front bumper has been on the Trailhunter for about a year now. It's been through snow, sand, rocks, and thousands of miles of highway. This is a real-world review — not a sponsored promo piece with perfect lighting and zero complaints. There are things I love about this...

What's up everyone — I'm Bob, running a 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter on 74Weld Gen2 portal axles, King 2.5" remote reservoirs, 37" Toyo RT Trails, and a COBB Accessport tune from CAMTuning Performance. Going to be posting more frequently here — figured I'd kick things off with something useful. The...

Curious how this went. We’re got able to get enough power from the OEM AUX switch to trigger the locker?

Hell yeah dude. Yeah I should probs inlay em huh? Being out here in AZ I’m sure they’re gonna get the fuck scratched out of them anyway.

1000 miles on portals - here's the truth so far: The stance is unreal. With +45 mm offset wheels, they sit pertectly—no awkward poke like some long-travel kits. The power hit surprised me. 2300 rpm at 90 mph and the truck pulls harder than stock. Didn't expect that. MPG dropped a bit (~14→12)...

Not really a wannabe pre-runner guy, and I don’t want a rear bumper swing out… Has anyone seen any spare tire + jack setups for the 4th gen bed yet? I’d like to keep it flat against the bed to keep the rear view clear. Can ask around for someone to custom fab, but curious what y'all are doing...

Come check out a bunch of awesome trucks if you’re in AZ! Oct 25 6-8pm 465 S Dobson Mesa, AZ Chinoz Grill Asian Fusion Will be cooking up some tasty dinner!

Bunch more posts to come of the recent changes to the truck, but thought I’d post an initial on these new wheels I’m running from Method X 74Weld. Needed something with very high offset to pair well with 74weld portals that would support going very low PSI. Decided to go with the Dakar inspired...

Bummer. “The rear brake hoses in the subject vehicles can be damaged over time if there is enough build-up of mud and dirt inside the rear wheels from operating under certain off-road conditions. This can result in a brake fluid leak, increasing the risk of crash.”...

I had the same experience, once the suspension settled. The Westcott kit will not fix this. You are right in that a collar preload kit like the one Westcott offers will put more load on the spring, which is how the lift is achieved. Where exactly are you rubbing? For my Toyo AT3 35x12.5x18 I...

Check your DMs on IG.

Will do. My rear kings should be in this week and need to make a decision. Got a few messages out now, I’ll update the thread when I find out.
