I don't care if it's a wrap of a unicorn farting out rainbows. Ill take me an almost free car haha

 

So are they drawing another winner?

 

x2 LOL!

So what about the guy he turns around & resells it to for 1/2 retail price, does HE have to leave the wrap on? Why does no one ever see this as the benefit of winning a free car??

 

Sorry Lucas, just saw this. I don't have a place that is exclusively indoors but I can back into the garage and keep anyone working out of the snow. My father in law has a shop that fits the truck but he is in loveland.
I've heard it doesn't take long to get the DS out, so I'm hoping my garage will be fine.

 

I can give you a hand Sunday, just let me know when and where.

 

Travis don't know if I can come up there but just a really important note - mark or note your flange connection points so that you keep the driveshaft U joints in phase. Otherwise it will be a vibration nightmare.

 

Got this in today. Planning of giving this paint a try. Never used it. Going to start on my frame work this winter. Going to be doing a lot of welding.

 

I'm interested to know how well the internal frame coating works and how easy it is to apply.

 

It comes with a hose and fine mist nozzle. That is used to run inside the frame. I've seen Tim with the white 1st gen use it. It was pretty cool.

 

Looks like taking the DS out/off won't be a huge deal, but the walkthrough video I just watched showed some fluid coming out when pulled out of the slip yoke. The video wasn't of a tacoma, but just wondering a. if 2nd gens use a slip yoke up front? and b. will I lose fluid when I pull the shaft? If so, do I need to plan on getting my Tcase and/or rear diff fluids checked/changed after I get the shaft fixed?

 

Do you happen to have any photos of this being done? Will it be pretty easy to see what you are talking about when I get under there?

 

tacoma doesnt have a slip yoke into the tranny. its 4 bolts/nuts on each end. the tcase and the Diff have a flange on each side

oh and the 2 bolts that hold the carrier bearing

 

Just happened to be under my truck removing the skids....



Disconnect the bolts from this flange in the front


This one in the rear


drop carrier bearing in the middle


just mark one bolt and it's location on each flange.

no fluids should be involved.

 

meh, pics are overrated

 

was I at least right? I haven't taken the driveshaft on this truck out, but that's the way I'd go about it if I had to.

I suppose you could take apart a ujoint where the two pieces of the shaft connect and leave the front half in, but that seems like a pain in the butt and I don't know how smart it would be to drive around with the front half still attached.

 

oh ur right. i have taken it off way to many times. except i dont have the carrier bearing to worry about anymore. eliminated that shit. but yeah, what u posted is perfect. even if it had pics in it

 

Time to decorate the tree. Step 1 open up yourself a drink.

 

off to a good start^!


What r u trying to accomplish Travis?

 

Anyone have experience persuading a bamf diff skid to fit? Curious how you went about it
