Here ya go. I hope you can see what I did there as it was hard to get decent pictures. I also have a small aluminum strip from the taillight to the mount to support it, this helped a lot. There isn't much attached to the fiberglass anymore.

 

I have 4.88s and still hardly enough ass. Now 4.88s with 33s is the shit. Plenty of power and torque. The difference between 4.10s with 33s and 4.88s with 33s is huge! but 4.88s and 35s didn't put me back to stock power. I bet it really sucks with 4.56s and 35s

 

wow. Well then you should know best. I didn't think stock gears and 33s was bad but then I also added intake, headers, exhaust and a tuner for a lil extra power. but I think 35s and 4.88s is pretty brutal.

 

I didn't like 33's and stock gears but I'm on a stock motor and at 5000+ ft in elevation. I'm running 4.88's with my skinny 33's now and still can't even 1 tire fire on pavement unless I turn into it. I'm not excited for what it's like to run 35's or bigger... Hopefully I'll get boost about the same time or shortly after.

 

Ask him VVVV

 

so how do they pee?

 

always re torquing the bolts?

 

I got tired of sitting in 4th gear just to maintain 75 mph...

 

I have no problem running and maintaining 75 mph. Its just slow to get there. The motor has plenty of tq just no hp. and the racecar thing is so retarded. No shit its not a race car. For one, it's a truck, not a car. And two, if it was a "racecar", why would I be driving it on the street as a dd? That's the dumbest argument ever for me stating my truck is slow.

 

Mine would do 75mph on 3.73, but only on flat ground or down hill would it stay in 5th. Any sort of incline and it would stay in 4th or 3rd sometimes. on 4.88's, it rarely goes to 4th unless I stand on it. I'm bone stock and the high elevation plays into performance a lot I am finding. I am only getting about 12-13 psi to my motor while someone at sea level would see 14.7 psi. May not seem like a lot but most of the S/C'd rigs are only seeing 5 psi over atmosphere at redline and they are making 50+ more hp.

 

you shut your mouth when you're talkin to me!!!

 

got one tg motor mount installed..doesnt look right



also any advice on geting this motor mount off the purch....the guy before me welded it on lol...grinder doesnt fit up there

 

Torch?

 

Sneak a plasma cutter in there.

 

i just dont want to ruin the purch mount...but i guessi could cut that off with a sawzall and weld on a new flat plate.


it looks like theres more room then there is in the pic...camera was right against oil pan

 

Shit I have to re torque my DMZ kit every time before I head out (German torque wrench Gutt n tight) but that kind of goes with the territory I thought? Put a dab of red lock tight but might need a little more.

New Product Alert!
Calling all 1st gen Tacoma Prerunner and 4x4 owners!
We now offer an awesome fix for the weak factory motor mount perches that always seem to be breaking the ears off. These new, substantially beefier, weld on, units comp...

 

Why cut them out when you can just add a gusset?

 

Konsta (rctoy) needs to get a set of those motor mounts. His driver's side one cracked at the red line I added.
