Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Engine covers are overpriced. Glad I bought the middle tiedowns as I use them often.

Dammit... where'd I put my glasses?! Need to see what this young whippersnapper was going on about.

They’re $20K. I haven’t heard of anyone but the one guy. I can’t think of his name right now. 74Weld has put in the work for these and i haven't heard of reliability issues. They released these for the Tacoma.

And the HMMV geared hubs do NOT last very long when constantly driven at 65 MPH or faster. The military HMMV's are governed at 55 MPH state side and governed at 65 MPH overseas. We had to constantly replace the geared hubs while overseas due to drivers constantly driving 65 MPH.
I blew up 2 while in Saudi. They were actually sitting in a boneyard since the first Gulf War. That was 5 years in the heat just to be murdered by a 19 yo. I was trying to drift them around traffic circles (not paved, they were dirt/sand roads) like Sega Rally.

If I was going to spend north of $25,000 It would be on a solid axle and links.

Interesting...didn't know they use these on trophy trucks...

Most trophy trucks are still rwd so they don't even use these, but some do. A lot of very very expensive one off custom desert builds use these and they are 99% overkill for this platform. Solid axles are usually for rock crawling and these are usually for high speed desert racing but there are always special cases for custom builds. We all have our specific needs and wants and spend a lot of money on things others wouldn't. These are badass and provide a peace of mind. Then you get into materials and go past chromoly and get into 300M, phew.

Not sure if anyone is at or watching Overland Expo. This Ranger Raptor has wholeheartedly convinced me I need portals. ?

I didn't really want a '24 until I saw this yesterday.
