1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He bought a housing

 

600 for a housing and locker is pretty solid.

 

And i got a complete 3rd and actuator for 300$. Though I got ride pf it. Only really got it to use as a core

 

I have never driven a front wheel drive vehicle with an MT and have been waiting a very long time for a sharp looking little car show up that wasn't bonkers priced at 30g or 40g +++ ... just waiting to figure how much 'work' my Taco is gonna need to keep tipTop condition

 

It can be done but you run the risk of warping the mounting face. Can be solved by using a lot of rtv to fill the gaps. If you buy an incomplete e locker you may be missing the actuator and they are worth their weight in gold.

 

you think they would let me test drive the Supra if I show them interest in trading in my 1st gen Taco for it

 

Yep. I just did the easy route and had ECGS drop in an ARB and Nirto 5.29's F/R. Then threw some RCV CV's in the front to make it solid. lol

 

The only shaft difference is abs to non-abs.

 

AKAIK the only difference is the length of the spline not the spline count.

 

So you need elocker shafts to work on a elocker.

 

Been thinking about the same...but RIP wallet.


Probably going lunchbox locker up front with 5.29s though

 

Last time I checked, paying $600 is better than paying $4,000.

 

My wallet RSVP'd to it's funeral a long long time ago.

If you're really considering a LB up front ask yourself how hard do you think you'll wheel? Hard enough to break the stock spider gears? If that answer is no, proceed. If that answer is yes, save up and get the ARB.

 

$4,000 is the price for a new axle housing, brake shoes, drums, and regear.

I have a complete 4.88 gearset in line that I got a good deal for. $600 is what I’ve paid for the housing, and axle shafts. All I need is a motor and I have a full 4.88 regear with an elocker.

 

Plus time and labor to have a much weaker R&P. The cost upfront isn't the only thing you need to worry about here. lol

 

So? I don’t need the third. I already have a 4.88 third. Why the hell would I pay $1200 when I can only pay $600 for a housing?

 

He isn’t gonna wheel hard enough to worry about it

 

Dont think you need a super strong r&p for wheeling the concrete jungle known as san fran.

 

I’m trading someone 4.10 front and rear gears for his 4.88. The only money I’m paying is for the new axle housing.

 

Have your dad buy it for you so you can put it on the 4Runner
