i need 3 of these. who wants to donate monies.
my taco is getting one, tundra gets 2. why? im tired of neighbors calling the police since my mostly tundra, is too freakin loud.

 

hahaha not there yet. You didn't mention the transmission can have a tendency to seize up when removing it. Tyler mentioned shaking the hell out of the trans jack out of frustration when he was removing stock trans.

I did come across this so it helped a little but yeah - I foresee more colorful expletives coming from the garage...

tylers a whimp. Yes the transmission usually hangs up on the dowels. but ive never had a big issue removing them. and i have to deal with rust and corrosion

 

i had the transmission on my 01 out in about 4 hours, mind you before that i had NEVER been out of the truck (even when they did the frame, the trans stayed up in the body with the engine)

 

you come out and take care of the work I have, including the swap - 3 of them will be waiting.

 

LOL i wish it were that easy.


all my tools are here. and rolling 7 toolboxes to cali would be... well quite the undertaking

 

hey, you have to come out here anyway to pick up mig's frame. we'll get you covered on the tools front. between tyler, mig vette and myself - all good. If I'm not mistaken Tyler has that new lift as well. Feeling lucky?

 

that lift would make it a nightmare to remove the trans.
you need jackstands otherwise youd never get the sucker out from under the truck. i slide it out from the side onces it on the ground.

 

Like i said. come visit, i'll get ya squared away, in the mean time you can visit the great land of chicago and dodge bullets. if you survive you'll have a nice 4x4 taco to drive back.

i'll even throw in a taillight warranty (inquire about it.)

 

well, at least you are willing to crawl under that thing. Just me, guess its that old school thing. Give me jack stands.

Hmmm... lets see - 2100 miles one way... thank you but

 

Damn

 

you can pick this up and drive it home - or no spyder?

i need more local people around here. damnit. only 2 1st gens i can think of is @slander and @what road


im sure theres more. but yea.

 

The spyder is a great handling car. but i want a second gen... with t-tops.

 

Hmm. Tundra needs a spare (because the current one is.. trash) I plan on going with 33s. (285s).. should I just get same diameter tire, but narrower to keep the ground clearance underneath? Hmm.. these are the questions.


Then again the width won’t really hurt anything. Hmmm I overthink things at night.

 

you all just need to come out west for a visit. When you were out in SoCal last, you and the GF should've taken a drive up North. I make it out that way, I'll be sure to look you and @what road up. Have to check out this 5 ton...

 

I know nothing on the tundra when it comes to tire clearance. I say do it. I imagine the 255 skinnies would look a little out of place on the tundra.

 

A 255 just for the spare. Diameter is what you want to be similar. Width won’t hurt the diff. I’m just being me though. That 30mm difference will not affect anything unless I was running a high clearance bumper.
Damn tundra is 1.5 ft longer than even the double cab taco

 

I've only been to Chicago once and that was an unscheduled layover due to bad weather (was bound for Virginia on business). I remember staying right there on the lake - think it was the Sheraton. Can't remember if I had flown into O'Hare or if it was Midway. I remember not being able to sleep and just watching this crazy lightning show over the lake from my room. F-ing insane. Woke up next morning and hopped back on a plane. Ended up spending nearly 2 weeks in Virginia (was only supposed to have been a week). Way back side stop in Lincoln, Nebraska. Just for a couple of hours. Damn, that place is nothing but flat land. No thanks.

 

Yep. Going the other way with pulling the engine, I don't remember it taking more than a tug to separate the bell housing from the block.
