TacoBox anybody?

Has anyone on here installed one yet in their third gens?

Looks like fun

 

I had the equivalent setup in my mountain truck. This truck needs (really really really wants) it!

 

I assume you've seen this? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bigmike’s-big-journey-new-2016-tacoma.427850/

 

Want. It's far down the list tho

 

I know Rock Solid Toys has installed one on a turd. It’s on their Instagram but they didn’t tag anyone so not sure who’s it was.

I love that truck

 

That would be a cool mod.

 

Just resurrecting this thread. I've done a lot of mods to my rig, but this one is the BEST!

 

I just got done testing it, and in 4LO + the 4.7 TacoBox engaged, this thing could crawl up a cliff at idol...it's ridiculous in such a good way.
The availability of these boxes for a 3rd Gen 6sp is patchy, but there are still making them.

I had Stellar Built in Sacramento do the install and they did an awesome job. Turns out, with the manual trans this is really quite a simple mod....no cutting, hacking, or custom work needed. Pretty much bolt in and go....except for the new custom rubber and shift boot I still need to figure out.

 

can you please share the cost of installation without actual taco box?

 

Full breakdown (again, applies to 6sp manual application)

TacoBox (including shipping & tax) - $4375
23 spline inupt (including shipping & tax) - $375
23 spline cover & seal (including shipping & tax) - $108
Install (including fluids) - $3,000

Total - $7,858

 

do we need those for any installation or was it just for you because you want it?

 

100% required...can't do the install without those parts

 

4300 on the main part what's another 400$ at that point regardless

 

got it, it's for MT only

 

money doesn't matter in this case, the work does

 

Correct

 

Those two extra parts are for the Manual Trans? Please clarify. I have a Marlin box sitting in the shop for when I get around to it for my Auto Trans. There was no mention of those extra parts for the Auto Trans.

OK, finally found it on the Marlin site:

"Required Installation Note for 6MT: In order to install a TacoBox into a 6-speed manual application you must also swap your 6-speed manual transmission-type 22-spline t/case input gear to that of an automatic transmission-type 23-spline t/case input. This requires partially disassembling your transfer case in order to swap the input of the planetary gear set. Update: We now offer a Genuine Toyota 23-spline automatic input — Click here to view! "

For the OP and the resurrector of this thread, there is a thread or two on this subject I will have to review when I get around to installing mine, plus a few YouTube videos as well.
