    hello all,
    i am not sure if this has ever been discussed, if it has my appologies.

    i work in emergency response and i am often sent into national disasters. we pack to live with no outside services for 7-14 days. usually i can get by using several inverters for my power needs, but sometimes i have to bring a generator.

    if you ever used a generator you know the fuel cost is UNREAL!

    i aquired a belt driven generator and a pet project of mine has been to maybe take a transfer case from a 4x4 tacoma and mount the belt driven generator to it.

    i have 2 questions:

    - are the transfer cases bolt on?
    - in my jeep there is a mad kit to allow only front wheel drive, is there a mod kit for 2nd gen tacomas to allow only front wheel drive from transfer case? that would allow me to run the generator off of the transfer case


    any input is appreciated.

    thanks in advance

    cheers,
    disco

    Get a 4x4 trans with transfer case.

    Or, if you really want front dig capabilities, buy an atlas. It's not possible with a tacoma case.
