TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

We used an engine hoist to get them in the bed, idk how to get them out...

 

Guess shit just got real

 

Nope. I have a house here in Phoenix now. Just have to get them into the backyard and build a stand or something

 

When’s it going under the knife?

 

Beats me. Maybe a year. Fall 2018?

 

That's a pain pulling shafts, especially the fronts.

Not like he doesn't have connections.

 

Nailed it

 

Got icicles?

 

Sweet! What are the plans for axle and shocks/springs?

 

I just sheared the ADD tube extension. If I locked both Diffs I still had 3 wheel drive. Fuck I don’t want to pull the front diff out again

 

I’ll join the party. I gotta pull my rear diff and change the o rings to stop getting oil in my air line. I pulled this oil from the line today.
My locker wasn’t engaging and disengaging like it should before I cleared the line...

 

Epic

 

Ya chase at ecgs said it was really common on our particular rear diff due to the design and sent me the replacement o rings for free but kinda a bummer. At least it’s the rear and not the front. Much easier to pull the rear.

 

Ya I guess I read about it on Dana 44s as well. I still like how easy and quick they lock and unlock, Ill buy em again when I have something else.

 

I legitimately just put this diff in in July. Thanks though. Not looking forward to it haha.

 

Its a sign. Time to start the solid axle swap.

 

Gotcha, gotta ask though, why go through all that if you're not changing out the axle or shocks? Travel will be limited by the shocks, and I don't think you are going to get THAT much better axle path/characteristics than the stock 5 link. Is just to make the next step of axle/shocks easier since the frame side link mounts will already be there? That's a pretty good reason, but I had to ask.

 

Ouch!
