College dorm 8.4” axle build

My roommate and I just pulled 5.29 gears and arb air locker out of a t100 8.4” axle in our college dorm bathroom He found it on criegslist for a steal and going to put the third into his 06 Tacoma. When space is limited gotta make do with that you got #collegelife

 

So wish I could find a trd for my Prerunner so I could have a rear locker

 

Rebuilding a rear end in the bathroom......Ahh, the things that young single people get to do. I can just hear the wife now if I were to drag some part of my truck into the bathroom...lol

 

Welp being you have a prerunner, might as well go a different route and get a posi instead. Lockers are great additions to 4wd vehicles, but a solid clutch based (NO MECHANICAL LSD'S!!!) posi will do the trick both on road and off.

 

That’s fucking awesome. I feel like I did college wrong now lol.

 

Rebuilt a transmission in my living room once when I didn't have a garage. Wife wasn't too into it, but then I got a workshop and garage with the next moves.

 

Thats awesome haha

 

I’m sure she loved the smell of gear oil after that one

 

I'm so proud of you nerds! Study hard!!

 

Haha I rebuilt a supercharger on my apartment patio.

 

Fucking savage

 

Ahhhh the good ole days. First, compromise your or your buddy's RA. After that all sorts of shit is possible.

 

After pulling the third member we discovered the copper line going to the locker broke off and we had to re sodder it into the air locker. Took more work than expected but it’s getting there.

 

She actually complained about it when we were looking at our next rental house with the landlord and thus the landlady wrote it into the lease that I couldn't have car parts in the house.

 

As a former RA...I'll allow it
