What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Are you using the OEM rf1a gears? or 4.7?
I haven't seen that little plate gear thing before in any builds or any mention of it anywhere else.
Got any information on that and why you installed it?

 

Looks like 2.28 MC 23 Total spline input. But a TG 2.28 Countershaft gear? That thin gear is a Silencer that came from the factory and comes with TG 2.28 gear sets. MC gears do not have this as the countershaft gear teeth are wider and have a more flowing cut (forget the actual name) to minimize gear whine vs factory sets. Believe the TG 4.7s are also wider removing the need for this.

 

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
Makes sense why I'd never seen that part in that case.

 

Its an odd piece I learned about from LowRange a few years ago, cant make that much of a difference because these cases still whine when put in gear.

 

Love you guys

 

haha i was at a dinner last night and had to explain to everyone (because of a comment my gf made) what TW was, how i met a bunch of internet truck people in moab, and what the difference between overlanding and rock crawling is. That was an entertaining tale.

 

Love you too man, just not your headlights

 

Replaced upper and lower arm, with everything Moog. Rough country 2.5 lift struts with coils and rear shocks. Also put on 285/75/16 Toyo RT
Next need to do valve cover gaskets...

 

Good luck! Try to flex the suspension as much as possible and you should be good. Don't catch too much on fire!

 

Call me crazy, but I don’t dig the vinyl.

Thanks! I’ve spent a year reading everyone’s build threads on goin 35/37’s. I’ve got a pretty good list of saved pages haha. I’m going to enlist a buddy who just tubbed his 5th gen 4Runner for 40’s haha.

either way. 2 fire extinguishers are ready to go..

 

Answer...


A lot hahaha

not the funnest thing to weld back together, but you'll be fine. Big tires are the best.

 

same. I really like them so far. Been great.

 

Who???

 

I'm starting my army. I own Ben now, and he loves it.

 

Ah ok I was scratching my head thinking:
Accounts shifted??
Or some sort of hack?
Or TW April fool's screen tilt...

 

Dakars was sagging so…….

 

I have a 2.28 MC comp input and new bearings on that and the stock counter shaft. I just repressed that oil slinger or silencer thing back on with the new bearing... But when I put it together it didnt mesh well and I saw nobody else using it so I unpressed and took it off.

 

Note to idiot self: Shoes are preferable over flip flops when unboxing a HF Shop Press.

 

He was whining about my avatar so I improvised.

 

Flip flops are life you just need to be a little bit quicker.
