Long Travel BS Thread

I picked up this 2nd gen tacoma 8" axle for $125. What's the chance a 2nd gen 8" 3rd member will bolt onto a 3rd gen 8" housing?

 

That's the 8" E-locker 29 spline? Might be the same if your original 3rd gen diff was the e-locker. Don't know if they changed the e-locking diff between generations. The open diff that came on other 2nd gen Tacomas is 8.4", which is a little stronger/more common.

 

No e locker. So I guess it's an 8.4?

 

This is the code

 

3rd gen e-lockers are 8.75 I believe, everything else was the 8.4. It might fit if you're a non-OR/pro, but probably not?

 

3rd gen sports with the manual transmission had an open diff in the 8.75

 

after further research I believe it's an open 8.4. if someone knows more please correct me haha

 

I’ve thought about making something… I ripped my carrier mount off also. If there’s enough interest I’ll put something together

 

Appreciate the patience on these. Been getting my teeth kicked in but wouldn’t have it any other way

Looking at bigger tires always leads me to looking at superchargers….

 

Did some cutting, tube work and welding today. Made a tire rack. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Just gotta buy better straps. Ones I want are $150 each

 

Saw your IG posts. I wonder if I could do an install of a fuel cell in the same manner. More fuel and weight in the back would be nice.

 

yeah I did my cell in about the same spot, but I didn’t cut a top access yet, I probably will eventually so I can actually access or remove the tank if I need to.

Might be the ones you're already looking at based on the price, but I love the Mac's straps. I have two vertical spares and they have never move or shaken at all.

Just a couple hours ago I submitted for a quote on the Mac websit for 2 of those types of straps custom made for my setup. Thxs for the heads up

 

Look at that sexy beast!

 

I want a fuel cell so bad, but it’s just one more thing to deal with. I should probably just enjoy the working truck
