4th Annual TacomaWorld Rush Off Road Meat Sweats 2020

If you can, I'll send you the link for the bridge rectifier. I've got access to more 2ga flex I'm using as well, also have some extra brown lugs.

 

But you should also just buy my No-Slip

 

I'm guessing our wiring is pretty similar. Mine is a 125a flux core only welder....so I'll probably want any extra stuff you have.

This is true. I'm very tempted, but not sure I want to commit to installing it. According to ECGS the backlash needs reset "For Toyota's, the ring gear needs to be removed to install the lunchbox locker and the backlash will need to be reset." Did you do that? Could that be why your ring gear went all meth head? So by the time I buy a 3rd, tear it apart, add a locker, reset backlash and all that (which means buying new tools), disconnect rear brakes, pull my drive shaft, pull my axles, and pull my 3rd...I feel like it would be easier for me to buy a complete axle assembly with e-locker and swap the whole assembly. Yes that'll cost more....but a lot less time.

 

I'm sure it's the exact same then. Is your AC in it's factory setup? Might be DC.

The first time I swapped diffs. Gid was gearing higher for 37s and used my stocks as core returns. Didn't touch the R&P or locker.
This time I ordered the assembled rear from ECGS and used the 3rd with missing ring as core. Didn't touch the R&P or locker.

I'm not a gear setup guru AT ALL. It would cost in the neighborhood of ~$1.5k+ for the proper tools to do gear setup, and after that, there's the lack of knowledge. I've only ever seen that these 2 Richmond lockers, the Lock Right and No-Slip are straight drop-in application and don't need anything changed on the R&P, I could be wrong. If ECGS says it needs work, then they're probably right. I know there's shops in Lex and Cincy that can get this done for you, with your current diff, in less than a day. I just wasn't willing to drive my 2wd fwd truck that far down US60 or some other rural route (chose to stay under 60mph in 4hi).

Maybe @beertimecontinuum or @allmotorrex can shed some light where you and I go blind?

 

/reset
I did not find that to be the case. MY ECGS third had solid spacers tho. Just pulled the ring to install the No-Slip, reinstalled and drank a beer. Checking it would be a good idea but I doubt you would have to reset.

 

@dirty deeds still planning for the first weekend of September?

 

Wtf did you do!!

 

Yup. Dates on the first post are locked in.

I'll probably be there that Thursday before, if not, then first thing when the office opens Friday morning. Not sure anyone has said they're doing the same, will solo camp and love it lol

 

Good deal. I plan on only working a half day that Friday and taking Saturday off.

 

I requested both days off, still unsure about the wife's birthday timing and all that. thursday might be a "get the truck ready" day, I'll prob show up Friday late morning.

 

I'll come, so I can see if I can go 3 for 3 on debeads at Rush meets.


But more likely just get drunk and ride in someone elses truck all day

 

holy shit you’re alive!

 

Just not on TW anymore and it turns out I had 'mention' notifications turned off so I didn't even know this thread existed.

Also, do you want to trade your stock dcsb exhaust to me for an mbrp turndown?!

 

Oh man that is tempting... I’ll have to think on it. I’ll trade you my stock front bumper for your bumper

 

No thanks lol. I'm just trying to quiet the truck down a bit cause baby. If you want to exhaust swap it's yours, and we'll do it on the ground at Rush (or in my driveway sooner)

 

that’s my dilemma too, having a 1 year old. I don’t remember what your truck sounded like. I’m not generally a fan of exhaust systems on a V6

 

It sounds fucking sick. Burbles and pops on downshifts and the whole 9 yards. I'm not gonna be heartbroken if I have to keep it, but I'm open to the swap. Let me know if you want it, and honestly if you hate it we can swap back later.

 

Fuck it, let’s do it lol

 

You're all fucking monsters.

 

Still makes me giggle
