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

Can anyone that has installed a

$1,110 arb rd129 air locking differential

arb rd129 tell me what I'm missing parts wise

 

i missed my truck today.

 

I love that you are trying to keep it mice and clean. I have my external right behind my head cause I’m deaf

 

super stoked to be here in your neck of the woods. That’s awesome you know this wip. Some of the Tacoma’s out here just make you smile. Next time I come out we’ll be shipping the truck out and living out of that.

 

The locker.

 

Haha I meant small part wise I know the locker 8snt pictured I also know I'm missing the air line fittings

 

A cheap functional thing I use for storage are these “craft zipper bags” from Walmart. Super cheap, under $4 each and are pretty sturdy. Have had them in my toolbox at work for several years now and only had one tear. Multiple colors to go help coordinate between tools. I can send you a pic of my work toolbox if you want to see.

 

I've seen that thing at pukalani superette, not a huge fan of it.

 

Just saw the craigslist add....13grand. Jesus christ.

 

Yes, please do. I am interested!
I am using 30-cal plastic ammo cans, and while it is a huge help, doesn't come near to being ideal.

 

Judging from this one image, it looks to be about 6" too high. I like my builds to place the top of the tire about midway in the lower quarter panel at rest, focusing more on droop than compression travel.

 

I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to the inside but there is a website, may be able to just order them

Edit: looked up website. Cost more then at Walmart.

 

OK, cool- for some reason I was thinking ziploc bags. I like this idea even more now. Definitely MUST find some of these.

Seeing the bit of lock wire, let me guess- you're an A&P guy? I should have gone to school for that.

EDIT: these look like a strong contender....

EDIT again: first review is from a travelling mechanical engineer, says they use these for their team. I've done that kind of work and know it's rough on tools. Not even bothering to look further, ordered and will have these tomorrow. Should make a nice thing to come home to after going to buy Dave's sliders off him!

 

I found this bundle on their site. For 12 bags, $55 isn't horrible.

What is the size of your zipper bags?

 

7.5″ Wide x 12″ Long according to the Cumberland site. The Amazon ones are pretty much the same size. Toss up as to which is the better deal.

 

Thanks for updating on this. I actually started my search from changing my fuel filter. I think it was getting clogged up. After installing the new one truck seems to be running much better. I reset the pending code and now waiting to see if it will pop up again. If it comes back next things im replacing is spark plugs, wires and maybe the coils depending on how the resistance tests.

 

I bought and hauled home some heavy lumber
