Dos Tacos Rojas 02 dcsb prerunner 4x4 manual swap & 95.5 SAS 3.4 swap

Hmm I wonder if that's my a/c not moving problem, I figured because my truck is 3.4 swapped my condenser just wasn't big enough or something.

 

Easy way to test is have someone start the truck while you hold onto the fan. As soon as you let go it should take off and catch up to engine rpm. If it slowly gains speed or doesn't move for a second it's bad

Next the war on chrome rages on, prepare the plasti derp

 

Clutch kit, slave and clutch master cylinder showed up today. Going to tear it down this weekend. I started by draining trans fluid and removing center console

 

This is the next project 95.5 2.7 4x4. I'm going to do a 3.4 swap w/ auto and sas w/ Toyota axle

 

Clutch pedal all cleaned up. I made a template from the 95 to drill the holes. The holes for the mount aren't in the same spot so I had to ream them out. It's a shitty spot to begin with, dash had to come apart and still not much space. I removed the driver seat but the fuse box is in the way. My right angle drill just fit. Ive heard this is the worst part and so far I must concur. I took longer to get the pedal and master than to pull the trans out

 

Rear main leaking

 

The truck looks awesome so far, with the plastidip it's going to look even better. How is the ride with this suspension?

 

Better than stock but a bit firmer up front. I'm running 883s and I'm a bit light up front still. I also pulled the sway bar. It's the perfect stance imo, just a bit of rake in back. Ive had 800 or 900 lbs worth of ATV in back and it handles the weight great and only dropped about 1.5in. Stock springs carrying same load dropped 3 inches and were on the bumps hard

 

Are these the springs that you used?

 

Those are them. They come with front bushings but no rears. Is your truck rusty? If so I would get new front spring bolts and shackles as well just in case you have to cut the old ones off

 

It actually is not too bad on rust at all, but I've played the game with hardware too many times now and will just get the new stuff anyways. Are you using the stock shackles still?

 

No I think they are the wheelers greaseable stock length. The cheapest ones wheelers sells. New u bolts , I got the greasable front pins also but they are a pain to install since you need to cut out the new ones that come installed with the dakars. Ome Exhaust drop bracket and extended brake line.i would get everything from wheelers except the brake lines, they are cheaper and better quality elsewhere

 

Shopping around, wheelers seems just as cheap as anywhere else. Thanks for all of the help!

 

They may not have the absolute lowest price, but they make up for it with amazing customer service.

 

I would check the front cam adjusters before you start. Mark them first then loosen all 4 bolts. Turn the cam adjusts to make sure they aren't frozen. You won't be able to align it after. Plus you will need lca bushings, cam adjusters, a pack of sawzall blades and a case of beer. It is a pain in the ass

 

Got my rear main changed out. Here's the Toyota part # if anyone needs it. About $65
