haha that's funny man. Well, it looks like I'll take on this job myself in the parking lot...any help would be appreciated!

Anyone have any tips on doing a job like this?

 

Search 3rd member swap.

 

Keeps constant preload on the pinion, I believe ECGS uses them on all the thirds they build.

You can do the swap yourself, I used one from TTORA but the Wiki is gone down due to spam that had photos but here is a link to a thread that has the steps. Its not hard to swap a 3rd mine took about an hour just make sure you have all the tools, jack stands, oil, etc. Just found one from Monkeyproof on elocker swap.

Thank you sir! Ill let you know how I do.

 

Close, but the Tacomas are a 3rd member. You dont pull off the housing from the backside and pull out the carrier like on Chevrolets. You pull it everything out as a unit that unbolts from behind the driveshaft on your rearend. It is not hard at all, there is a good write up on here on how to do it. I would look for a whole axle at a salvage yard, one that is already pulled and is in working order, not one outside sitting on the ground.

 

Thanks guys, I ordered from ECGS, Curtis helped me out on there when I called. Should be working on it this weekend. I'll post with my results.

 

Taco is back on the road....easy install! Thanks all

 

Wow, good for you. Good for you.

 

I did it in the rain in the parking lot of my apartment complex...gotta love it
