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 saw a new set of Sidio crates yesterday. I've been looking for something simpler and cheaper than the Milwaukee Packout. These look nice, and the plastic is high quality, with rubber liners and dividers.

They seem perfect for storing the usual stuff: jumper cables, tools, emergency gear, and clothing for bad weather.The rear seats in the fourth-gen vehicle are not as flat as those in the third-gen, making it challenging to get things to sit flat.

I'm considering cutting a sheet of plywood to match the shape, which would create a flatter surface for easier gear storage if I decide to get the crates.

I'm still working on a solution to secure items so they don't hit me in the back of the head during an accident. The plywood would likely help with that. I don't plan on doing a seat delete, however.
