    Straight axle lifted rebuilt.
    Im new to the website, and i was looking for help with my SAS 98 tacoma.
    I recently lifted and straight axled my 98 ext cab tacoma, and i put 85 toyota pickup axles under it and need help looking for a transfer case flip kit or some ideas to be able to run my driveline to my front axle. Everything else is done on the truck.
    Its a 98 tacoma 5 speed manual 3rz.
    If anyone has answers thank you, just need ideas or need to find a t case flip kit.

    Does the t-case drop on the wrong side?

    You are going to need an adapter and run an old gear driven case. Newer chain drive cases are driver drop and the old cases are passenger drop. If you use toyota axles, you have to swap the t-case. If you use a 44 or a 60, most people just look for a driver drop like a jeep wagoneer 44 or a ford/dodge 60.

    Edit: If you have access to the 85 pickup that you got the axles from, the t-case out of it is exactly what you need. There are a few companies that make the adapter to bolt the old case to your trans.

    Yep. Marlin Crawler sells them, Trail-gear, Lowrange offroad. Thats a few of them and I'm sure there are more. Marlin Crawler is a little more pricy but higher quality. Trail-gear stuff is good for the most part and I've never had bad luck with any of their stuff but I've heard of other people having quality issues with them. Lowrange and a few others, simply sells trail gear stuff.
