Looks awesome! You rarely see a stack on a Yota. When you do, it's some giant ugly thing they put on to make it look like a diesel. Yours is tastefully done.
Why would you swap the factory Aisin hubs for Mile Markers? I could see MAYBE putting on Warn Premiums, but not Mile Markers. Their winches are great, but their locking hubs are just god-awful. I think you should rebuild the Aisins and put them back on.

Thanks!
Well as for the hubs, I was missing one of the Aisins completely, and I bought the mile markers before learning about how they were junk, yea, stupid me haha. I plan on getting a pair of aisins again soon

small update, alot done, ill let the pictures tell
Took long enough for the springs to come in, but they did
Its cold, Lol
Went a little off the trail
And then she broke. Lost the slave cylinder going to school\
Front tow Points now too!
Me bending my rear tow point at rausch creek
KC's and new switches
Need to do a little more trimming to fit in one more switch
Fixing Said tow point
On board air starting very very soon, preping my tank
did a bit of wheeling
Did anyone say flatbed time?
End of Day one, Everything only a little more than tacked into place. Ignore my buddy
The start of day two...
About halfway through, all the bottom welds are done
And by the end of day Two, Were here, Everything except whats down low by the cab (impossible to get to) and the back of the upper cross beam are welded in place.
And on one cold thursday, i said, LET THERE BE LIGHTS! AND LOTS OF THEM!
Some wood too
Finished!
Repainted And then blue lights
Kinda hard to see in this picture, but it is much shinier!
