is it wise to keep investing in her? i have a k&n, throttle body spacer, and am in the middle of putting a no-slip in (not much of an offroader... yet- im moving). basically i like to go fast, and when attempting to install the noslip, i found that one of my side gears has become unremovable from the diff carrier. am i gonna keep finding things like this? this is a huge hassle right now havent driven my baby in a week! (there arent easily available parts in HI, esp a DIFF CARRIER). i appreciate any help!

welcome to yt .... is your taco a 5spd? a v6 ? reg cab or x-cab ?

 

thanks, shes a 3.4 5spd, ext cab...

 

Tacoma's are incredibly easy to work on and maintain. I speak for others I'm sure, in saying that your tacoma with 180+ is certainly worth putting money into. If you like to go fast, well.....I guess you have the wrong vehicle, but if you want a reliable dd but capable weekend warrior truck then by all means fix what breaks, and in the meantime keep the preventative maintenance up to date.
