Yotamafia Sinks Their New 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro

Tacoma Steering Rack Issue + Solo Clevis Upgrade?

Been digging into 4th gen Tacoma steering and hit a pretty annoying limitation. The inner tie rod isn’t serviceable. You can’t buy it separately. If it fails, you’re buying a full rack. No workaround. Came across this from Solo Motorsports: https://solomotorsports.com/shop/parts/toyota-parts/steering-toyota-parts/toyota-inner-heim-and-clevis-steering-upgrade/ It converts the inner to a heim with a clevis at the rack. Looks strong, but it requires drilling the knuckle and going double shear, so you’re committing to a permanent change. Solo is currently confirming fitment for the 4th gen for me, so this might actually be a viable option soon. That’s where I’m stuck. You’re upgrading strength, but adding complexity and maintenance. Heims don’t love dirt long term, and they’re not exactly forgiving. So now it feels like: OEM is simple but limited Solo is stronger but more involved End result is still the same if something goes wrong I haven’t seen much actual data on 4th gen rack failures yet, so I don’t know if this is a real problem or just a theoretical one. Curious if anyone is running this on a non long travel setup and how it’s holding up. Is this a smart upgrade or just overbuilding a system that isn’t actually failing yet?

I saw that Yotamafia got a sinister black on black Tacoma TRD Pro the other week! Man it looks so good. I can’t wait to see them build up this truck even more in the future. But in the mean time, they didn’t waste any time in getting this truck stuck in some sort of water crossing here in Florida.

I hope all the electronics are good still! It doesn’t seem like water got inside. Check out the reel.
