Just got my new billet aluminum rear links for the truck! 74Weld recently dropped these. You can buy them individually, but I got the entire rear kit. They offer everything you need. Rear upper and lower links, and the panhard/track bar. The new coil spring rear end is great, but the rear links and their components are especially vulnerable. I dragged them on a bunch of rocks last year in Colorado and bent my rear lower driver's side pretty good. So these are a welcome upgrade. In the future, 74 said they will release an adjustable set. These are technically prototypes, with the adjustable ones expected to be released later this month. They're offered in raw aluminum, black, and malibu gray. I really like the joints they chose. They are similar to OEM in that they are mainly rubber, but offer better articulation and support. Heims and stuff like that are cool, but they need WAY more maintenance. This setup is built to last. Quick specs and features... - CNC machined 6061 aluminum - anodized for protection and corrosion resistance - maintenance free Rock Krawler Adventure Series flex joints - fits all new gen Toyotas and GX550 Links to everything below... https://motorsports.74weld.com/product/new-gen-toyota-billet-rear-lower-links/ https://motorsports.74weld.com/product/new-gen-toyota-billet-rear-track-bar/ https://motorsports.74weld.com/product/new-gen-toyota-billet-rear-upper-links/ I love the etched out 74Weld logo. My bent rear lower link... Killer packaging. Everything came individually wrapped with foam, etc. No damage at all!

I’m currently at Toyota’s headquarters and just got a first look at the new 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro in the brand-new Wave Maker color. Seeing it in person, it’s noticeably different from what we were shown in the teaser images. There’s actually a slight green tint to it that doesn’t really come through in the photos, and it’s not quite as baby blue as it seemed either. Depending on the lighting, you can also catch some gray-blue tones in the paint. One thing that stood out is the finish—it’s got a smooth, glassy look without any metallic flake. All of the black accents on the Tacoma really kinda help this bold color stand out a little bit more too. What do you guys think of this new color?
