uh-oh... duh...

at least it's not my front diff


In FWD we trust!

 

Little steel wool and some tremclad, look like new....

So what's the plan for a new one? Fancy one piece or stay with stock?

 

Probably the cheapest to get a replacement lower driveshaft tube welded in at a driveline shop. However, if you want a full replacement, here's a good option: https://www.wholesaleimportparts.com/Toyota_Tacoma_Driveshaft_2018.php

 

that's the plan, dropping it off at Cardanic in the morning. I can get spare driveshaft OEM from Ottawa scrap yard for $300 as well.

 

The scrap yard has 3rd gen MT driveshafts? Interesting.

 

check car part

 

a scrap yard that has a Tacoma?
none-were around last i checked

 

there are at least 10 I know of, where do you think i get all my spare parts and parts for dual brake project etc

 

tell me what they're asking for one of the bed rail tracks
i need to hack one up for the front of the bed

go to car-part.com and find for yourself, pick any generally big item and then give them a call and ask for little things that may still be on truck... goash, amateurs

 

FYI MSRP is $55 at the dealer parts counter: https://parts.scarboroughtoyota.ca/...K-BED-ACY-HDR-RAIL/51970505/PT27835100BH.html

Might not be cheaper from a recycler if they have to ship.

 

COMMON!

 

the Toyota in Burlington quoted me $250 for the one fucking rail...

 

I’m goi g to check them out for my parts.

 

I got the same quote from upper James. But then I gave them the actual part number. They don't seem to know what a header rail is...which is weird because I've had a Tacoma for a month and I know the part number

 

No PreRunner conversion in the plans? Heard it's enough for Swisha Loop

 

May be running around without a front diff for a while....

 

we bully you too much.
just run a few fun runs with @ODSC1 and myself.
90% is 2WD. the other 10% is destroying my skidplates and watercrossings
which this time around was bone dry even after getting hit by that tornado/ thunderstorm





but in all seriousness, hopefully things turn out well for that front diff. You're the thread creator - you can't just leave us alone with @Norilsk so please don't quit T-world either

 

The truck will live another day. Was just an unexpected expense lol
