6.0 taco now!

This is the double cab

 

This is a ls truck pan that shows how much I had to cut off to make this ls fit.

 

Pan will be welded with a 1/8th inch plate of 6061 after the pick up tube is matched to the new correct hight.

 

2wd transmission and rebuild kit untill the 4wd mess comes into play

 

You can not have too many 5.3s handy

 

Poor little guy. It does have a new head on it though if anyone is interested in it.

 

Pickup tube is a little too long eh

 

Pick up tube chopped and tacked

 

I vote 4wd v6.

 

Is your Tacoma 4wd?

 

I'm not ruling 4x4 out yet but I've rarley had to use 4wd, mainly the diff lock would get through most situations. Unless you don't have a Tacoma. Although I usually have to use 4wd to pull everyone else out.

 

It is mostly the angle of the dangle on that picture

 

V8s are the new leveling kits.

 

This isn't the same truck that's getting the 5.3. was just talking about 4wd.

 

And yeah leafs were a little worn after 325k miles

 

The double cab is around 360k miles ish

 

New option: 4x4 and turbo the 2.7. those rz engines loves them some boost.

 

What is all needed to swap in the diff lock rear end? Diff, wiring, computer, anything else? Is there any difference between the locking diffs and non lockers as far as the ring and pinion go? If the are both 8" they should swap right over correct?

 

How do they handle completely stock? I've got turboes for days. Or would it be just like a stock 5.3?

 

hell ya it is
