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

it was a custom order and yea thats the plan lol once my 3.4L decides to retire im swapping it. now if my buddy just responds to my text. also i'll have a tundra rear axle, diffs and cv axles

 

Does it have a locker? I don’t know if tundras come with em, just curious.

 

i have no clue lol i havent really looked but if this plan falls through i want to put arb lockers in front and back

 

Damn, badass

 

ah ok just got the text back the transmission is a w58 with a adapter and he did the conversion. my bad guys lol now im contemplating to use that trans or try to find a different one. but he still needs to decide on selling it to me.

 

It would be okay but it won't handle too much abuse, it is a tiny tranny. Could get a W55 internal kit from a Supra transmission and beef it haha

 

could a r150f handle it? lol im sure theres a way to mate that to a 4.7

edit: well found the adapter plate http://www.1uzfeswapkit.com/product.sc?productId=35

 

No way the bed will sit with that tubing on top of the frame.

Never came with one. Lsd though. All tundra have the 8.4 diff

I'd not use a w58 with that motor. Not sure I'd swap a 4.7 anyways if u were to do a v8 but if you do do a r150

Yeah..but not cheap haha

 

So no 1st gen tundra had one? Or no tundra has every had one? Never paid attention when I’ve been around a tundra.

 

is anything cheap on these trucks monte lol. my current trans is the r150f reason why i asked. got a big choice to make lol

 

No tundra has ever come with one.

Motor swap is not for the faint of heart. That's all I'll say

 

We measured height to the stand offs and it should clear with about a 1/4". Also @malburg114 has his mounted the same way...

 

oh i know lol. but part of me is thinking all the work i'll need to do to make it work. but i can hear a few guys on hear chanting "do it, do it, do it" lmao

 

How many miles does your truck Have?

 

had a frame swap and new engine in it about 135k ago. idk about the transmision so im assuming it has 235k since no word on the carfax or dealership was said when i bought it.

 

So I just remeasured because you made me wonder, and it will be almost exactly the same height as the bed basically will be another support haha.

 

Haha tight tolerances!

 

Took a drive in the woods. Lots of muledeer and a few small heards of elk across the canyon

 

what she said

 

Monte says it won't work so that must mean it won't work.
