1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I just like to rip around and ride smooth. The LT is about perfect for that.

 

I was planning to keep things IFS buuuuuut....
Changing CVs isn't a huge deal unless it's a case like this.

It must have been a fluke too, I wasn't getting on it or anything. Was locked and climbing up a slick rock face 1st gear 4 low and just heard it pop

 

I compared tranny faces side by side and they didn't look too close.

 

What cv axle? Reman? Chinese? 20 yr old Oem? Just for data purposes

 

Supposedly (I have not tried.) they fit pretty close. Few bolts not there and threading one or 2 holes on the block already. The 3vz-fe was a fwd use engine. Being the 5vz is based off that I’d guess it’s possible.

 

Reman from Advance Auto iirc

 

I've broken 5 OEM, 4 NAPA, 2 O'Reilly. And zero RCVs. Lol

 

Does RCV offer a 1st Gen tundy axle?

 

Don’t think so.

Otherwise I’d have them.

 

Pulling the diff tube with out pulling the diff is a lot easier. Takes about 30 minutes if your not fighting rust and have the proper tools.

 

It'd been in there for all of 3 weeks so I don't expect too much rust

Pulling the whole diff is a PITA because I have to lift the motor to get enough clearance for the diff the come out

 

Left front reman binds bad. Don’t like it. For new oem I might as well bmjist get rcv

 

This 3rz bell housing adaptor (Marilin) was the best straight on shot I could find on the w59.


a140f pulled off of fleaBay.

 

Just get a 2nd gen

Easiest way I've found to do it, and I've pulled the front a lot, is to remove both mounting arms. With them gone you can rotate the diff more and it comes out fairly easy. IDK WTF Toyota was thinking with the rear diff mounting bolt. Such a stupid design.

Considering I can’t find good info on the 5vz swaps I don’t know how they get them to fit. There’s no mention of adapter plates, just removal of dowel pins on the e153 transmission.

 

Also with fwd the engines are tilted back. Starter location on the w59 looks to be in the right spot.

 

See my last post, links to 5VZ swaps.

 

Oh I was talking fwd engines into the rwd trucks. Which is where the 5vz swap for mr2s comes in. The 3vz to 5vz swap is a simple one

 

Gotcha, sorry, missed that!
