So with the diamonds do you have to weld your own knuckleballs in? Is that why you went with TG?

 

Yea I didnt even realize til a couple weeks ago, have to use factory knuckle balls. This TG housing will make a much easier swap, and cheaper.

 

So I'd have to cut mine out? Fuck that sucks.

 

Yup, diamond will weld them if you cut them out, but I don't want to mess with all that with my limited space and tools. Diamond housings are badass, but TG housing is much easier and cheaper.

 

Yes but I have a 9.5" third, my options are limited. I don't have a problem welding them in, cutting them out is going to be the shitty part.

 

Cool Jeep




What's making you go with an aftermarket housing?

 

Width.

 

Ahh yes I keep forgetting about your 9.5. You have a better area and tools to work with than I do, you can handle it.i really wanted a diamond, but TG is much easier for me.

The front wheel spacers with 2.5" b.s. are destroying my firewall and tires. I want to be wide as hell on yota axles but still be able to turn the tires when flexed. This is the taco width housing

 

We will see I guess. I'm still trying to get my buddy to come off his fj80 rear too and I'd like to do a diamond rear so I can have a center diff with the 9.5" third. Have you tubbed your firewall yet? It really helped me clear my tires and I'm fj60 width, ifs hubs, and spacers. I did mine in a few hours start to finish.

 

Nah I just beat the fuck out of the firewall.... Then realized I was beating the ECU on the passenger side...

 

Bahaha. Just tub it man. I wish I would have done it much sooner now

 

I'll look at it tomorrow. I clear fine without the spacers, and should be better with width and I'm gonna move the axle another 1" forward anyway.

 

I need to cut the rear fenders more for sure though, and close them back up. Damn 4runners

 

I'll be thinking about you when I cut however much I please out of my bedsides

 

Dammit

 

Cage looks good ! Is the right side axle tube bent ? Maybe it's just the picture .

 

Thanks! On the TG housing? The tubes are offset for better ground clearance, I think that is what you see.

 

As soon as I get back from Australia the East coast is on my calendar. I am hoping for next year early summer to be on the East coast.

I can bring back some goodies to help ya get started with the 1uz swap if you would like!!!! Seriously if your wanting to get a 1uz check out my website. I would be happy to help ya with the project!!!!

Sweet! 1UZ would be sick, but I think I'm leaning towards a 3rz swap down the road, I think it would be simpler.

@Scalded_Dawg i think is sitting at the 1uz edge, we need to push him over it!

 

1uz or 3rz doesn't matter, lets go wheelin!!!!!
