Well here's my Tacoma tech. tip of the week. Did this last summer. (Edit) I have a 2 inch body lift that helped me with other issues such as moving the gas tank. This makes clocking the T-case easier but it can be done w/out one, you just have to modify your floor and possibly the seat mount. I belive most crawlers have an 18º option that allow you to clock it some, but not enough to get into the floor. 28º Clocked T-case -First you buy a cralwer with an indexed pattern or you just by the ring like I did from Budbuilt. -Next you unbolt the T-case and replace the seal and drill the threads out of the top two holes b/c instead of bolts, they're getting studs through them. -Next you bolt the ring onto the T-case -Then you Bolt the T-case back up -And then you modify your shifters and you're all done -Not sure it was worth it as I had never hit the T-case before and I still haven't, but in my quest to get everything above the frame rails it accomplished this task Tune in next week to see how to make a 1 piece skid plate to replace the factory one.

wow, that's pretty cool. How hard was the shifter modification? Not bad at all. Cut one in half and weld in an extension (b/c I put in a 2 inch BL) to make room for all my tummy tuck stuff and then other just got cut in half and welded into a short piece of 28º flat stock.
