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

Is your tcase floating? As it it's not firmly in high range or low?

 

Damnit...thought my new fender was arriving this Wednesday but it isn't coming until next Wed...driving around without a drivers side fender is getting old and it's only been 3 days lol. At least my mirror shows up tomorrow...currently using a blind spot mirror glued to the remaining stump from where the old one snapped off. Not exactly the safest

 

It's firmly in 4 neutral and 2 hi

 

the "pdws" mod sucks!

 

I think it's the stress on everything. Mine does it when going from drive to park in low range. Jeeps do it to. If you put it in neutral then park it releases the stress on mine and doesnt grind

 

Is there a skid plate that's made that starts at the end of mine where the control arms begin? Yes I know I have a dirty truck but clean belts lol

 

So it's only grinding in park? Nothing else?

I don't think so. You have a custom bumper with skid it looks like

 

It's only grinding when going back in to park. When you start to put it in park, it sounds almost like grinding gears in a manual.

I was going through gears to fill the trans, but when I would go from reverse to park, it would give me the grinding noise. If I backed the selector back to reverse, the sound would go away.

 

I feel like this photo should be put in a bit of context...

The situation started out like this, perhaps predictably:

 

with 4 neutral and 2 hi it may be the trans still spinning (i dont know how the twin sticks work.). your rear driveshafts connected right?

 

Hm usually when grinding is happening it's a tcase gear not lined up. You sure your linkage was connected good?

 

Edit read next post

 

Re reading your original post makes me ask do you have each stick in a gear and not the middle spot? So one stick in either 2wd or 4wd (should only be 2 shift spots so wouldnt be this shifter) and the other stick all the way foward or all the way back shifting it from high to low? Should never be in the middle "neutral" spot. Nothing is engaged and in gear will spin and cause the gears to grind in the transfer case.

 

Ok... Disregard... I was doin it wrong. Gonna have to learn the art of the twin stick. All is good.

I'VE GOT 4X4 MUTHAFUKAS!

 

congrats

 

Its more then a bith to fit 33's with 2in spacers man... i have fox 2.5's with adjustable coilovers & JBA control arms etc i went up another 2inchs now i ride at 4inchs infront stock in back giving it a crazy lean anyway i had to cut my fender my actual fender not fender flare that was long gone & off by now but anyway i cut & pushed back my pinch weld also a bitch then i stil haft to chop more & into the cab just to squeeze by for full lock its not fun i'd change my mind if i could with these spacers but i can run the wheels because it hits the calipers but ohh well it'll all fit & best believe i make that shit fit Haha also i plan to get fiberglass fenders so i dont care rn bout cutting them up to stuff these tires in for now looks ugly but ohh well

 

I have something similar to that and it puts out a ton of light. For what it is.

 

Can we get Boomhauer from King of the Hill in here to translate this?

 

As soon as I realized that it was pulled and replaced with the blank panel. Now the space holds my CB mic.

 

It's okay .It was your first time haha

Congrats!
