1 Ton Tacoma SAS

Nice build you def. have a beast going there but I'm curious where do you get the 1 ton rating ??

 

it looks like 1 ton axles. dana 60 front and gm 14 bolt rear.

 

that thing looks like a monster! makes me hate my ifs so much more. cant wait for wheeling pics.

 

Exactly.

 

same axles i had for mine had to sell them though

 

Well its been awhile since I posted anything ...... I ran got it up and running but I didn't like my rear pinion angle at all. So im waiting for my tax return and im going to buy a new raerend with 5.38 gear and maybe a locker if I can swing it. I got some pictures of more flexing nothing special ill try to get them up in the next couple of days. Also found that I need to make a new steering shaft to enhance my steering a bit.


Has anybody ran a atlas 4.0 t case. Im thinking about doing one instead of a marlin case setup. Any thoughts or reviews

 

cant go wrong with atlas, legends in transfer case's

 

Yup by far the best.

 

Im going with a atlas 4 with my swap but that wont be for a few months I'll let you know this summer or let me know when you do it

 

Total newb question regarding the atlas 4. I dont have much experience with gears but it seems to me the jump from 3.8 to 10.3 is pretty steep. It would be nice to have something in between there. With the other gearing, it seems like the 5.44 might not be low enough for extreme extreme stuff. Wish the other case had the 5.44 in it between the big gap.

So my question is, would it be a good idea to get in inchworm 2.28 crawl box and mount the atlas 4 with the 5.44 gearing case on there? Then you would have super low and everywhere in between. Does that sound like a good idea? Is it even possible?

 

Pretty sure you cannot mount it, don't beleive there is any adapter plates out there. Also a 3.8 is pretty low. and a 10.3 is yeah... There really isn't a need for a middle gear which is why I believe they didn't make one. But who knows

 

Well ive been looking at the marlin taco box. I might have found a deal on one but im waiting to hear back on if the guy wants to sell it. So for half the price my truck end up with a taco box.

As far as my truck goes. I got new u-joints for the steering shaft. I'll put them into tomorrow and work out my steering issues. I found running one joint tends to bind up at full droop.

here some pictures



37's tuckin nicely with stock fender cut.





little bit of drop since i'm 6'3

 

what are your frame to ground measurements? and what is the measurement from the front pumpkin to the ground if you dont mind.

 

I like your see through diff cover

And for reference, on my 37's I was 11.5" diff height and axle tube was 16.25"

 

cool, thats what i was wanting to know, what the difference would be in the d44 and the d60.

 

I'm willing to say his will be 10" and axle tube probably 15.75"

 

thats actually better than i expected, i know a 14 bolt on 42's only has 13" of clearance. i wasnt sure about the front though.

 

where are your shocks?

 

Lol. I took them off to dick around with my brakes and I havnt put them back on. On my ground clearance deal the mtr I have are small like really small. So I don't think I have very good clearance.

Picked up a baja style bed cage this pass week. I need to order a new steering shaft set up and also get to new rear end setup.

I probably have another month before I get to go play in it.


Its all just money

 

Yeah! Money is cheap.

Anywho, measure your ground clearance!
