Welding classes are still going good. I've learned a few different beads to run, the best way to fill gaps. Pretty much all the essentials.

Thanks. It'll be nice to finally get to drive it again.. but I still have some work cut out for me. Still have a list of things to do before I go get it inspected again.

What year is the rodeo? I have a friend who lifted a rodeo a while back on a budget i'll ask him what he used. When you do start looking at the kits it does get expensive.

96+ tacoma trd edition(came standard)
and some of the fj80 landcruisers & lx450's came with them as well.
They are not direct bolt ons but it is simple enough to do.. you gotta cut a notch out of the axle housing where the locker actuator sits and drill and tap one or two holes for longer studs. The yota solid front axle uses the same diff so you can use them in the front or rear if you get something with a sfa.
Come on over to the dark side. :
