Reverse is too high, what I dont like the most

I dont know how many need a lower geared reverse, but I find it would be nice to have when out cutting firewood and backing uphill. Cant always drive forward to where you can load up. 4Lo helps some, but a granny gear sized gear would be nicer.

Couldn't agree more.
Got a good looking helper there!

Jeff could you look into the part number for a RC61F 6 speed manual out of a hilux?

Mike do you think these gear sets would swap like in the older r151/150/452 transmissions?

 

everyone agrees. and I've never seen any good theory on why they geared it like that.

 

CAFE regulations probably.
Possibly to poison us against manual transmissions so they can phase them out.

 

Great looking doggy!

 

i thought of that and it makes sense. I'd complain about the way of the world right now but instead I'll just appreciate i was born with analog and manuals in my lifetime. I'm gonna keep this truck running for damn ever.

 

That's a man sized payload in that pickup bed. How much do you think that is?

 

I had around half a cord, only put two tags on it. Repo is almost a year old now, that was from last Spring.

A little off topic but why is everyone so concerned about covering up their plate? I see plate numbers all the time when I'm out and about.

 

so we can fight on the interwebz safely.

 

Need to figure out a 2lo mod like on my 1st gen.

 

Livin the Tacoma life....

 

Info on RC transmissions. The RC61F seems like it would be a good swap into the 3rd gen manuals.

Easiest way is to dismount the front driveshaft.

 

I think about this as well. The most information you can get from a plate number is Make, Model and VIN.

 

I don’t understand it either. Makes no sense when anyone driving down the road can see your license plate.

 

nice pup!

 

I'd read not a good thing to do, may be wrong. Protecting my awesome campstove collection, worth a large down payment for a new truck. Coleman model 1 stove.

That is a sexy stove.
