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

I got you.


Oh wait

 

Is the cut60 powering that table?

 

Don't tempt me with a good time

CUT60 is what I'm running on that table, yea

 

I’m in!!!

 

Does anyone have the pages of the FSM that include servicing the bearing in a non ADD front diff tube? Looks like remove the outer c clip, press the shaft out with the bearing, then remove the inner c clip, and press the bearing off the shaft but I would like to confirm.

 

Don't forget a new seal too!

 

here you go boo

step 6 is mysteriously missing but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out

 

Knew this thread would have my back. And don't worru @Kwikvette already got the seal.

 

Gonna pull the bearing and try to get it cryo treated.

 

Hmmmmm cryo sounds good. it should hold up to a lot of abuse. It would be cool if there were chromo replacements but I'm guessing it would cost $750 or more for a single one off from RCV or Moser

 

Yeah I feel like removing the play from the ADD system is a huge step towards strength, especially if shock loaded. Add this and heavier duty CV's if I LT and I think 37's are attainable on IFS reliably. Obviously can't drive it like SAS bouncing over shit but for the slow technical crawling I do it will work I think.

 

Will my garage freezer suffice, asking for a friend

 

Is it full of liquid nitrogen?

 

I'm not entirely sure but if the RCV cage/race/balls are the same as mini truck / D44 ones (they're interchangeable for those RCV axles) they should hold up to a lot of abuse.

 

And getting rid of the ADD as a whole helps out a ton. With an aftermarket carrier (you have an ARB right?), that'll help with strength so next up is steering is the next big thing to get beef'd up to handle the additional stress.

 

RCV said they would do a run of the non ADD shaft if there was enough interest. I believe @cbechtold reached out to them about it

 

Yeah I remember him pursuing it but wasn't it like $1k or something ridic? Figure if heat treating is like $200 then that's way more viable.

 

I'm not sure if it came up here or the other thread but the full carrier definitely makes a huge difference. A local guy has shredded two sets of 5.29s on the factory open 7.5 carrier and I haven't busted mine on the ARB (yet). Similar driving styles and that.

 

Yeah ARB front. Ideally I would copy exactly what @El Taco Diablo just did for steering. I gotta say though it's hard to keep throwing money at this truck when I wheel it *hard* only once a year anymore. I've got a full NWF case with triples sitting on the garage floor that I KNOW won't get installed for a long while. But still I like to make things better and stronger while I have it so I will probably keep at it. Eventually when my son is older I will have time to wheel hard again, so it's all in preparation for that. I do miss my rock crawling days though.

I shredded the spiders on my 4.10's day 1 wheeling on 35's
