Craigslist Find: 2006 SAS Tacoma (**NOT MINE**)

Welded carriers front and rear? Yikes.

 

Man that things badass.

 

44 front and toyota rear YIKES!! sounds like some broke axles....

 

Pretty sure I saw this on TTORA also

 

Why does that thing have different gear ratios front and back? Sounds like this thing was cobbed together and destined to leave you stranded on a trail...

 

I've seen other rigs use 5.29s rear with 5.38s front, I don't think they had issues with them but I could be wrong.

 

5.29 front and 5.38 rear...ouch

 

Doesn't seem like a good idea, especially with welded carriers. Seems the rear is just going to try to drive through the front and if it does get positive traction, it's just asking for a failure. There's a lot of work done to it but I'm not sure I'd go anywhere near it for that kind of money.

 

"Hi, I messed up this build and want someone to buy it for a lot of money. You'll shake your head in amazement admiring some of the outright silly stuff I did without researching any of the consequences or repercussions.

-Cody"

Good luck with that.

 

Missed the manual locking hubs part. Still wouldn't touch it because if you lock up the hubs and are crawling through a tough area, you don't want to have to keep unlocking the hubs just so you don't destroy something. I know unbalanced gear ratios aren't unheard of, they just don't seem like a good idea.

 

Anyone know how muh he selling it for. If its reasonable price might actually be worth it.

 

Ad says $19.5k

 

dammit huuuuuan, its on the posting $19.5k

 

O da le better wash yourself foo

 

fixed it for you


Rear toy axles dont have 5.38

 

different size gears dont matter aslong as they are close. and yes this looks like you wont make it home

 

Just my :2cents: but...

It seems as if he did this swap the cheapest possible way, skimping everywhere you could.

1. Dana44 in a second gen=endless broken shafts. D60 or dont bother. Good thing you are giving spare shafts to the buyer.

2. Leaving the toyota rear axle in post swap=more broken shafts.

3. Welded carriers=get a real locker or dont bother. Especially with mismatched gears in the axles.

4. FOA shocks enough said.

5. Not street legal.

Would make a good starting point for a rebuild though. But not for that price.
