1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Probably, didn’t think of that.

How do you expect me to put a 8” into a 8.4”

 

Maybe i should just go take a 7.5” core from a junkyard and send that in and sell the 8” e locker

 

Ring gear is actually the same size. But it no workie from what I've seen

 

Yeah I think thhe housings are different just enough that it doesn’t work

 

how much are 8" housings?

 

Cheaper then an ARB. And would probably have the right gears already

 

I would need a 8” e locker housing unless i wanna modify a 8” housing

 

Unless the 8 e locker uses a different spline count axel shaft in pretty sure i can put my 5lug shafts in it. I would also need to convert my e break to a 6lug style and either do soa or make the 8” sua

 

you have the e-locker actuator yes? if so go and get the housing and the shop can wire it for ya

 

Sell the truck and buy a 4x4 TRD lol.. Kidding

 

Besides if i keep my axe as a 8.4 if i wanted to get a wider axel later on i can get a 8.4” 5lug axel from a 2nd gen tacoma

 

I didn’t read back very far, but I assume someone wants more traction, but doesn’t want to pay for an ARB, and is terrified of lunch box lockers because the TW mob says that they cause your truck to spontaneously combust when operated anywhere except a mud pit.

How’d I do?

I’m a big fan. I was a super skeptic at first too. All things considered, I would never consider anything other than a lunchbox rear now. The added traction is a game changer, and the cost is low. You subconsciously negate the felt effects on road by your driving habits. I run the no-slip. 10/10 would recommend. Wouldn’t hesitate to run the lock-rite, spartan, etc either.

It’s super simple. On the throttle = locked. Off the throttle = unlocked.

If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask.

 

Real talk though....why not?

 

he's in cali 4x4 trucks are rare as unicorns lol

do they make my truck go vroooommm vrooommmm lol or is that just a mazda thing before it breaks?

 

Yeah, wasn't trying to be rude about his truck, just sounds like a whole lot of work and money to get to the point of being as capable offroad as a stock TRD. Not in go fast stuff obviously, but actually 4x4 scenarios

 

Because i dont wanna sell this truck and im not trying to pay 1000$ a month for insurance on 2 trucks

 

Nah, but they do make this really super awesome clunk/bang noise every once in a while when you get them bound up and they unload.

 

On that note my buddy is in San Diego and has a taco he's probably sell, TRD on OME shit and ko2's. Auto though

 

Pfft I found my 04 4x4 TRD supercharged with 24k miles on it in San Diego CA a couple years ago. When I was looking it wasn't hard to find 4x4s for sale but they aren't cheap here.

I did find a unicorn though mileage-wise but that would be true anywhere in the country.

That I do understand, it's hard to put a number on a vehicle with sentimental value. I can respect that.

 

Yeah this was my grandfathers truck that was then willed to me when he passed so im nt getting rid of it. Besides for what i do i dont need 4wd im perfectly fine with being 2wd just want to make it a more capable 2wd to do more capable 2wd shit
