Why didn’t you just buy a 4x4 to begin with?

 

Oh dude. That crank pulley bolt on that Honda did NOT want to come off on that ‘93 Civic I did the timing belt on. My 1/2 just hammered it all the live long day. I don’t remember how I ended up getting it off.

 

$5k initial cost was a hell of a lot easier to get away with for a "camping only" truck vs $10k 4x4's around here.

That and it left me with mod money to do what I want with the truck; #tiregateclub

 

How’d you come across my 4x4 swap?

 

You can use your 1/4 Makita for it

 

Proper torque.

 

The same reason they used some JIS fasteners and some philips. To screw with you.

I pulled a 3.4 airbox out of a yard a few months back and I almost paid for a maf I didnt need cause I stripped the stupid JIS screws with my phillips driver. Thankfully the dude at checkout got it out, otherwise I wasnt gonna pay the $30 extra or whatever it was when the box itself only cost $20 or so.

 

Was looking at the differences of Locked TRD Prerunners vs non-locked 4x4's and accidently came across a thread where you did the swap.

Seeing as how everything is bolt on, and I've wrenched a lot on my Corvettes, the swap would be cake.

I just hate how others label 4runner/Tundra stuff as stuff from a Tacoma leading me to look at front diffs with the wrong gear ratio, or wrong transfer cases/transmissions.

 

I wonder how much torque is lost through using a standard socket? Didn't mention in video did it?

 

There’s special sockets for them crank bolts that use mass to help force the bitch off.

 

Been awhile since I seen it.

Socket is linked in the description.

 

More special than the impact sockets? Hadn't heard of those

 

The upper screw in my grab handle is stripped and I can never get it out because it was JIS. I tried to drill it out and failed.

What makes a e-torx better than hex on the diff in regards of torque?

 

E torx give more accurate torque readings than 6 pint hex. Trade off is more likely to strip

 

Interesting didn’t know that.

 

So then follow up question to Tyler's; in places where you've seen e-torx used, were those areas sensitive to torque values more than others?

 

More surface area contact on a store than the standard 6 points that s the key
