See that often when I'm picking up parts for the taco

 

Flexin' out at the look off

 

I do still drive it a fair amount, so I compromised and went with a detroit truetrac, which if you look at the operation of it, its really a LSD and less of a locker but should still be better than open. I wanted a arb or a elocker, but this one came along for a really good price so I went with it. Can always change it if I don't like it.

 

Gear driven LSD ftw! Andrew has one in his tezz.

Just remember if you are three wheeling it to use your e brake!

 

Yes! Exactly! I was on the fence until I heard you could do that with the ebrake. Should have the third member back from the shop tomorrow to put into the truck. For the price of if, I figured I would let someone that knows what they are doing put the new unit into the third member. I just pulled it and took everything into them.

 

Bout that helical life! Don't wear out and don't need friction modifiers and shit.

 

I didn't think you had to screw with preload or backlash to put in a trutrack. But I could be wrong. I didn't think you did anything with the carrier. I don't know much about the trutrack or autolockers though. ARB or nothing for me!

 

You don't need friction modifiers for a welded rear-end either............

 

Well I've only ever seen one of those on the street before. It didn't work out tok well for him haba.

 

When I get another rear end for the Lexus I'll weld the old one

 

Do mad skids and just say fuck tires when you turn

 

They're like.... 205 60 16s... those tires don't cost money after you buy a set of 285's for the taco

 

way to not come party with us

 

You're right haha.

 

Well, from what I read, I should have been able to just mark it all, take it apart, and put it back together and set the adjusters the same, but I have little experience with gears. Someone was into that rearend at some point and set up the adjusters with a non soft chisel.. and the backlash isn't consistent through the rear end according to my quick check last night with a dial indicator. You just have to tear the rearend down far enough to remove the ring gear from the old carrier, and put it on the truetrac from what I understand.. Its not quite a drop in, like a lunchbox locker would be.

Theres a good gear shop 5 minutes from my house so I took it there for piece of mind, I would have spent way too much time wondering if I was doing it right.

heres what I have looks like. Kinda neat how its all worm gears and no clutches.

 

You didn't invite me !

 

Ah by the looks of it you replace the whole Carrier. It is neat though!

 

I was at work..But you could have just invited yourself!

 

This is something I want to do. I am not satisfied with the factory LSD.

 

You have an LSD?
