What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

thanks buddy! ill be taking it back today or tomorrow!

 

Blew up my intermediate shaft in my front diff. Now I only get power to my left front when my air lockers on, and power to neither with it off haha.

Anybody know where I can find a replacement intermediate shaft?

 

What's the story behind the failure?

 

Unsure exactly when it broke. No major noises or anything then realized I wasn’t getting power to front wheels. Probably been snapped for a month and just been self clearancing inside.

 

Symptoms sound familiar @Subway4X4 where did you source the stub shaft for yours when you realized you accidentally sent it to ECGS?

 

Need to get some night shots. Still haven't been able to use mine in complete darkness.

 

ECGS shipped it back to me. They say it happens 50% of the time.

And yes, I’ve been running 3WD for a month, when I’m front locked. Truck actually did pretty well on Blues at AAOA.

 

Ah okay so that won't help @Tacofart. Someone correct me if I am wrong but ADD stub shafts are different from Manual hubs, Maybe find someone who is going from ADD to Manual and get their stub shaft?

 

ARB knock-offs for the win. Looks like they are throwing plenty of light.

 

Why don’t you make it so the 2 ohtside ones are angled for a little more coverage?


Maybe they are? I dunno.

 

i also got one of these weird spinny things in the mail today

 

i dont need anymore flood. just want distance. i have the 4 hellas up top not turned on.

 

I knew it wasnt all in my head. Haha! Thanks for confirming it.

 

Not gonna lie I tend to stay away from them, the local view of offroading is finding mud and then bathing in it. Gots ta have yerself a big ol V8 chivvy, and some super dee dooper swawmpers

 

There's mud in Arizona?

You would think with all the awesome rock crawling in AZ that that scene would be much larger. I thought all the mudders were in the southern flatlands.

 

Need to find a different group
I hate mud

 

You'd be surprised, there are of course people like us that check out the rocks and the desert. Then there's a selection of people with block lifts, bald 35s, and a truck that has been strategically decorated with camo, and some beauty mud. They go up toward Flagstaff where the climate is mild and mud can be found pretty easily.
