Thought I would throw this one up as well. These are the loads I regularly carry in my beast.

 

sick!! take a look at like other cars and trucks brakes and axles .. calipers.. our 4runners even mine with the 22re has BEEFY over engineered parts where it counts...thats what makes these trucks tuff....
all around the world people know id you want a reliable work horse YOU WANT A TOYOTA!

 

it makes me smile every time I hear one of my mechanic buddies marvel at how over and well engineered these trucks are. my one friends gapes at my rear end every time I see him (the one on the truck, not behind my back, calm down guys). "damn, that looks like a ford 9 inch rear end." then I remind him of how many people bolt the 4 cyl rear ends with a 350 chevy and never have a problem.

the same friend argued up and down about how much better warn hubs were compared to OEM Aisin hubs. that was, until his dad (a kickass mechanic, and a very knowledgeable gentleman) set his son straight. he said something to the effect of "why do you think every Toyota that comes in this shop has their factory hubs on them? why do you think that they are still original and have never been replaced? because they are tough, and better built than any other hub, including a warn hub, you could put on that truck." it was funny... (almost verbatim, I omitted a few curse words haha)

I can't wait to get my e-locker... he'll really be impressed.
