What were you before?

Damn thats a drastic change

 

35s on stock gears wasn't a happy combo

 

Good thing your not going to Tahoe this weekend. We are supposed to get 2 feet.

 

Wow, is that much snow normal up there this time of year? They're saying we're getting more even way down here than usual for November. Hopefully it means another good snow season like last year.

 

Yay

 

Freshly wired.

 

Connections look good, fire it up already?

 

Used them on the old Twin-I-Beam suspensions.

@Sperrunner what a tool

 

This got me thinking this morning. Has anyone done a 2gr swap into a 1G Taco? Sounds like it might be a good swap?

 

I caught the 'Toyoda' name on one of the machines in that vid

 

Sounds like it would be a great swap. Not sure if it's been done by anyone here. That engine is used in TONS of vehicles. I never realized how COMMON it was. And so if tons of Toyotas have that engine and Toyotas go 500k+ routinely even with sub perfect maintenance, no wonder everyone has such good reliability with Toyotas and thinks they run forever

 

Yep. And a pallet of Koyo parts being wheeled around.

Here's the Torsen LSD connection through JTEKT.

They may make the prop shafts too

I guess the only question is if the 2GR will mate up to the stock 5 speed or auto in the 1g Taco? Then there's figuring out the electronics but that's usually just a matter of time and patience.

 

Yeah, that's true. Just be custom jobber on adapter plates and bell housing and crap.
