I hope Columbus got some snow too! Headed back there today.

Also mobile skin FTMFW.

 

Looks like getting some. That's all moving north.

Nice!

 

Attempting to save this engine.

 

Doing some research on a manual tranny swap. I'm on the fence
does anyone have an idea of what my auto trans. + t-case would be work with 145k on them.

 

I believe you are better off selling your truck and getting another with a manual. IIRC people have looked into it and changing transmissions requires replacing the ECU and most of the wiring harnesses. The time/effort/money spent would be far less if you just sell your truck and get the one you want, even if you have to strip off and reinstall a bunch of aftermarket parts.

 

Well the don't make a 'MANUAL" transmission for the 1st gen double cab....so i can't just go buy one.

If i do the swap it will include a "full" swap from another rig. ECU and wiring harness would be included. Plan would be going to a pick-n-pull on a 1/2 off day and raping an late 02 tacoma!!! (If i decide to do it). My problem is i tow a trailer on weekends and im tired of playing with overdrive. I go from 19 down to 13. A manual tranny will allow me better control of my gears and more power.

 

Ah yeah, forgot they didn't offer manuals with the double cab. One of the reasons I went with an extra cab. One thing you might need is a custom driveshaft to make it work.

 

Well I'll be switching to a 1 piece driveline in the rear and a new front driveline when i do the solid axle swap so the would go with it..

I do enjoy the 4 doors tho - last night i had 4 adult passengers

 

JUST LIKE THE DCLB I MISS DRIVING A MANUAL SO BAD

 

I had to turn off notifications. I was getting so much shit. Is there a way to select which subscribed threads you get notifications for. Just say you started a thread that was something important that I would to be notified if any responses but I don't want notifications to everything?

 

Vtec for days.

 

Yes just select the threads that are not important to you and choose "no notifications". Just the same as you would delete a subscription but choose the no notification instead.



EDIT: Had to take a second look and make sure i was in TW Live. There for a minute i thought i was in the TW BS thread.

 

lol wouldn't it be sick if i could throw a 05 6 speed under my truck!!!

My brother did an STI drivetrain/engine swap on his 98 impreza. He's lucky because there's a guy in Cali who does a full hybrid wiring harness setup for a couple hundred bucks.

I just want 1st gen double cab sas manual.....

 

Is that something that would need to be done on the web view?

 

Did the Vtec kick in yet?

 

no hes only at 2900ish rpm

 

Of course. This thing revs so much quicker than a taco so I get to 5k rpm before I know it.

 

Would finding a manual truck and doing a cab swap be easier/cheaper?
