Long Travel BS Thread

Lol fair enough

 

10k in shocks, 10k in motor/transmission, 10k in hubs/housing/3rd, 5-10k for miscellaneous shit. Ok, maybe 40k...

 

Just invest 30,000, get about 75% done with it and then sell it for half of what you have into it....its the only way

 

Just thought I'd drop this here. I need help with a beefier rear end and hope I can find some help.

 

^ I think I would just say stop leaving your locker on, lol. Its not really a 'use all the time for everything' type of thing

 

what are you braking? also is your broke elocker for sale?

 

Lol I figured that one out the first time I broke it. Found a online manual says "do not use over 5 mph" I was like a 5-6 rpms. 1k lesson learned.

Ring and pinion. This is my second one in a month. The locker is in pretty bad shape but still works I guess. My cheapest and probably worst idea is welding the diff and put a delete plate. If I go that route, I'll be sure to let you know Hahahaha.

 

Well it's not the strongest of lockers as you've found. But it sounds like you're pushing it and abusing it very hard.

 

Yeah but was cause I wasn't using it correctly. I am indeed pushing and abusing it. Not to nice to this taco but it isn't my daily.

 

Not LT related, but the only guys who know fuel cells are in this thread...

Thinking of adding a ~20 gallon auxiliary fuel cell under the bed of the truck where the stock spare would go. What's the best way to set that up to transfer to my stock tank without running into pressure/vapor issues? I'm hesitant to tap into a fill or vent tube given the pressurized system and the issues that could occur with tapping into that.

I'm all for simple... just trying to figure out how to pump fuel from one tank to the other on the fly without screwing up emissions or safety stuff. Tired of carrying four gas cans in the bed of the truck, they take up a lot of space.

 

Finally have the shocks outboard of the frame! Anyone have any 6" glass laying around to cover Martha's wide rear?

 

Looks great. I dove tailed my rear out. It doesn't look too bad.

 

I have 4.5" glass and it doesn't rub 35s

 

so thats not a locker issue but a small 8" ring and pinion issue lol. and if this is the second time, its time to upgrade the axle. look at a ford9 or something big. tundra would also work. i have a super wide Dana60 i can sell you lol

 

For sure it isn't a locker issue but a lead foot issue lol. I was thinking about going tundra for ford rear end but money is kinda a issue for me at the moment, I spent 28.1k on this truck in one month. Interested in that Dana 60, what are you asking?

 

Theres a tundra axle for cheap on dr right now

 

I'm pretty sure that year tundra has the same diff as the non e-locker tacomas

 

its got 4.10 gears and a tight lsd. i could trade you straight across for your elocker third as long as the locker part still works, need to regear it anyways

 

Swap Complete. Should have the drive shaft flange tomorrow and then she's outta here.

 

Does any one know the bolt specs for the lower ball joint(the four bolts). I started to take them out and the first one broke off inside.
