Northern Virginia Roll Call

Morning all

 

Hat tip

 

‘Zactly. And what’s nice is the hood bolts are the same as the door bolts, meaning there’s a tapered head on it to center the hood exactly where it needs to go. No messing around with aligning it. It was a simple process bolting it back on once I got home.

 

That was one of the best inventions for body panels. Now time to diag that bad boy and not a head gasket

 

The 05s had a recall or tsb for headgasket issues didnt they?

 

Nope, I wish. It’s just a known issue with them but Toyota didn’t do anything to fix it other than update the head gasket design for future trucks. Which is fine, I can’t put Toyota at fault for a head gasket going out in a 14 year old vehicle with almost 200k miles on it.

 

I don’t think this is what stating stock looks like

 

Morning all!

Yep. Once you do the Dum Dums lollipop mod, it's all downhill from there...

 

No saying what’s in the box

 

More lollipops? Haha...just kidding! I knew you wouldn't be able to stay stock for long.

 

That looks like a whole lot of changes are coming

 

I think i found the problem...

If anyone wants any of the parts off this old rear let me know soon before it gets trashed. The center section will be kept for rebuild or sold.

 

8" or 8.4"? I'm interested if it's the latter.

 

I dunno. Its out of my 2012 trd sport. The diff itself is trashed, pieces cam out, plus its got a shock relocate.

 

Do u think my warranty is voided?

 

The 8.0 and 8.4 are the same R&P just the 8.4 has a better bearing support and not e-locker. If you are wanting to upgrade to a larger R&P look for a 3rd gen manual trans rear or OR they are a true 8.8" RG.

 

It's the one I need then. Are you replacing the whole axle?

What do you want for it?

 

Thanks. Looking for one that's compatible with my current axle.

 

He swapped the whole axle because it punched a hole in the back of the pumpkin when the diff blew up. It's not a big hole though. He posted a photo of it here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/northern-virginia-roll-call.188512/page-3550#post-19328179
