Oahu Members Thread

Howzit everybody, brand new to this Tacoma world. But just wanted to know if anybpdy had converted there 2wd tacoma to a 4wd?.

 

Welcome!

You've got a lot of reading to do.

Only know of one person here on Oahu that has converted his Prerunner into 4x4... @luka
Don't know of anyone that would help you convert it, especially with costs to buy the parts and the labor involved. Also, good luck finding all the parts you need.
Unless you're really, really, really attached to your Prerunner and have spent thousands on it with mods that you cannot transfer to a new-to-you vehicle (i.e. Long Travel, Solid Axle Swap, etc.); your best bet is to sell your Prerunner and buy a 4x4 out here.

 

the mechanical work isn't that bad...building the harness is more of the headache

i've done a second truck and helped another member with the trans mount on his

 

This is not an issue at ride height. It's an issue at full bump. The 2.5 shock body might contact the lower shock mounts. You can kind of check it by sliding the rubber bumper all the way down on the shaft. The bumper is a little smaller than the shock body, so you can gauge it off of that.

 

I did

Hi @squint0241

 

Picking up football snacks

 

Might be a long shot, but does anybody have any sources to get any venison meat? Specifically the axis variety.

 

I have all the choo-choo snacks, just missing one flange. I was able to get the turbine inlet and outlet flanges right on Darkside. It's the manifold side flange I can't find to make my up pipe with. I ended up with a plasma cutter at the end of the night #oneexpensiveflange

He actually doesn't have to read a lot.... Look at your truck, ask a few questions, and start spending the money

 

I did a lot of reading, and still had/have a lot of questions.

 

the answer is always 22

 

Lol well think its official now. For those who's spouses say they cant buy parts or bitch when they do. They need to hangout with mine
She said next year you can use the tax return to get front and rear bumpers.

 

You don’t own a home do you lol. I’m kidding glad it’s that easy

 

Lol nope. We have a savings for when I get out to use as a downpayment though

 

Good man. Use your va benefits if you qualify for the mortgage stuff

 

Come camping next time.. maybe she’ll rub off on mine.. Wife doesn’t really get mad, just “forgives” quickly. Lol.

She knows I have too many hobbies..

 

Same here lol. Golf, sports memorabilia collecting, fishing, mainland hunting trips etc...

 

You must have a nice return coming, only shut down affected IRS. Not accepting forms till 1/28/19. Got mine done early this year just to wait.
