The GlamTaco Prerunner 4x4 Long Travel Something Something Thread

I’m not sure it’s a quality issue, I may have just worn them out. Both sets sounded great. The RF sound just as good though, and I have a different RF set in the 4runner that I like.

 

awesome build. you take great photos. i have an 06 prerunner lifted on 33s (255/80s) and use it mainly for camping and fire roads. Want to up the traction game to a true trac since I think my stock limited slip clutch pack is wearing out. would you still recommend this? arb is super expensive don't think i need a selectable locker. maybe someday i'll convert it to 4x4 and put one in the front. i really am starting to think about converting...

 

I kind of wish I installed ARB's front and rear, but the truetrac is fine for what I mostly do.

I highly recommend the 4x4 conversion if you want to keep the truck for a while. It is the best thing I have done.

 

Some people tell me it's pretty easy, others say it's a pain in the ass if you're not a gear head. I'm no gear head, but I change my own oil and sometimes brakes. General maintenance is no problem. But this seems like another level.

 

The hardest part was swapping the transmission, and I had never removed an auto before. The only special tool I needed was a transmission jack, or hydraulic table which I borrowed from work. Everything else was pretty easy, I only needed help holding the front diff in place to bolt it in. I had other vehicles to drive during the conversion, so I did not have to rush.

 

I installed my Archive Garage hammer hangers and crossbar this weekend. I used a 60 grit flap disc to grind the rivet heads off. Then I pried the hangers off with a 5 lb mini sledge and steel chisel. I used the flap disc again to grind the rivets flush with the frame and clean up a little bit of rust, then drilled out the rivets and painted. The crossbar is a really nice design. Overall the install wasn’t too bad, but the heat kicked my ass. I will drive it next weekend to experience the ride improvement.

 

Oh yea, I decided to get new wheels a few months ago. I hated the fake beadlock rings and backspacing on the BR6’s. Decided to get some Falcon Off-Road T2’s. The mud tires suck on long drives so I got Nitto Ridge Grappler 315/70r17, they are great so far.

 

Looking good my friend.

 

Thanks dood

 

dope build man. i've got the 3rd gen with your same setup. but. im refreshing everything and going with a lighter build this time.

 

Thanks dude. I’ll be hitting the beach all week

 

everytime i see this build thread it makes me want to convert mine! looking great with those wheels man.

 

Do it! The hardest part was swapping the transmission. Making a new trans crossmember and modifying the tcase shifter took some work, too, but everything else bolted up and was not very difficult.

 

Truck is ghey…

 

I bought a ‘17 Powerstroke for work and love it. I can’t leave anything alone and installed a Readylift leveling kit with Bilstein 5100’s, Airlift bags, Hostile Sprocket 20x10 with 295/65r20 Ridge Grapplers, Morimoto headlights, DD fogs, Pusher intake kit, S&B 60 gallon fuel tank, and some other things. It is a beast.





I was close to selling the Tacoma, had a price agreed, but my woman got pissed and demands I keep it for our OBX trips. So I’m installing a Magnuson supercharger soon to help it pull our camper to OBX. It is a Wolf Pup 16TS.

 

Congratulations again on the new workhorse! Glad you are keeping the truck too!

 

Thanks! The Tacoma is still in great shape, only 111k miles, and the frame is fairly clean

 

I am planning to use a 2.7 pulley on the magnuson supercharger, so I went ahead and installed an AEM 320lph fuel pump to keep up with demand. Dropping the tank was a PITA but I got it done, only issue was a rusted bolt on the rear strap, the welds broke on the captured nut but luckily I was able to fit a wrench in the bracket to get it out and replace it with SS.
