What's up 4GTaco fam!! Check out this recent Trailhunter we wrapped up at the shop. John brought his 2025 Trailhunter in for a full 74Weld portal axle setup and supporting mods to make 37s fit and clear. The truck now runs 74Weld portals, 74Weld billet rear links, an ADD winch bumper, Warn VR Evo 10 S, Rigid SR lighting, hybrid power relocation, and Method 703s wrapped in 37" Toyo RT Pros. The goal was simple. Keep the hybrid system happy, keep the geometry correct with portals, and build a truck that actually works off-road without losing daily performance. Portal service was handled at the 500 mile mark, and the truck left with proper alignment and all clearances dialed in. This setup gives the Trailhunter more ground clearance, stronger axle geometry, better approach angle, and a clean front recovery system. If you’re looking at portals, 37s, hybrid routing, or you just want to know which parts actually work together on the new 4th Gen Tacoma, feel free to reach out. Mountain Yotas is always around for build questions, part recommendations, and helping you plan your setup the right way the first time.

I know everyone always wants to see examples of what a lift kit looks like compared to stock, so here's a dedicated thread.

This is a Peak 2.25" Trail Kit. You reuse the front struts. There is both a preload spacer (goes under coil on stock spring perch) and a top hat spacer. The rear spring just gets the spacer alone. Rear shocks stay as is. Rides pretty good! Very similar to stock as far as I can tell.

Obviously the tire size is different, but they are only .5" or so tall than factory. Much wider, but just imagine the proportions on stock OR wheels and tires.
