    Driver side OME on the mount I made earlier. Notice the tip tie.


    Yes, I filled the holes.


    Almost full droop, ran out of jack.


    The driver side has some weird geometry, not quite as much left but satisfactory.
    Back on the stock upper mount.


    Ride height, 4" up travel left.


    Rides a little better actually, not that the OME's rode bad at all, they rode great. Maybe psychosomatic.
    Also, the driver side OME did actually lose it's charge. It still dampens but won't extend on it's own..that one never bottomed out either.

    New gear came in today for the speed-o-meter, 32 tooth count.

    Still off by 5mph. :annoyed:
    So it's halfway better.
    Might need bigger tires to get it right.:D

    Although this build could still use some 35s, here's the part number for a 33 tooth speedo gear:

    33403-39415

    It's for the 4 bangers or something which is probably why your parts guy didn't find it.

    Not spending any more $$$ for a bit, just gonna wheel it for now. Tired of re-calibrating the damn ultra gauge every time I make a change. :)
    My internet was down for the morning so I went up Green Ridge for entertainment.


    Holes are deep this year.

    Lower Twin Lake. I've put my canoe on here once, made my over the pads fairly easy out to the center, but coming back was a battle. Was like some kind of sci-fi freak vegetation thing.

    One lonely beaver hut, he's been there as long as I can remember.

    The beginning of Green Ridge Trough. 25 yards of the nastiest crap you could ever stick a wheel in. Your paint will change color where it touches it and never be the same again.
    A friend ran it one year with no doors and the passenger seat cover dissolved a few weeks later.

    The other end. There is a bypass now that was put in several years ago. Before that, this was what you drove through.

    Loving the gears and locker.:D

    The bypass is to the right of me.

    First time I've ever seen water in this one.

    Ok, maybe I'll spend a few more dollars. :) I called Pedersen Toyota and had them look up the part#, they can order it and it's cheaper than the 32 tooth I just ordered. So I hope it fits...:D They could not find any reference as to the actual number of teeth on the gear.
    They said it fits a T-100, 4-runner and Tacoma. I'll know tomorrow.

    Not too sure this will work out @Squeaky Penguin
    I consulted with the shop manager and parts counter guys, this is for a Tacoma. 4-runner and T-100 with the electronic sending unit. No 33 tooth for my application with a cable driven speedo.
    So, I'm going to try and press the spindle off my original gear as it is readily available if I should need it again. If it looks like gears can be reliably swapped on the spindle, I'll go that route. Otherwise they said I could return it. Worth a shot at this point

    So far, so good. As long as it stays secure. I may mix up some epoxy to make sure it stays. That gear falling off could result in a bad day.

    I first tried a simple drill press to see if it was enough push, it wasn't, so I went to the 10 ton and it actually took more pressure to pop it off than I anticipated. But the gears remained intact, I didn't see any flexing.

    Practice first with the short shaft and 30 tooth gear. It went together fine, seems nice and snug.


    we may have a winner here.

    Screw the epoxy, it's tight. I removed the practice gear and pressed it back on a second time, took quite a bit of force each time so fuck it.


    How can so many different diameters fit inside the same hole comfortably? 30 and 33 tooth.

    :devil:

    This is where things get questionable. Thoughts from the peanut gallery are welcome..

    Notice the wear in the center of the gear still mounted to the housing assembly.


    The original stock 30 tooth gear gear measures out at
    26.15mm at center.
    26.30mm on the non wearing edges.
    235,xxx original miles on it.

    32 tooth gear, which has been running for just a couple hundred miles is...
    27.81mm at center
    28.61mm on the edge. I do not know what it was fresh out of the package. So there is a mm of nylon shit in my t-case...:p Kind of reminds me of the days of sawdust in the diff..

    33 tooth gear is
    28.88mm fresh out of the bag.

    so just .27mm difference from the highest point on the 32 tooth gear.
    Assuming it will wear the same, it should still fit. The question is how long will it last????
    And what damage, if any, is being caused???

    Damn, good thing you checked. The new gears seem like they spin fine with other gear?

    yes they did, the 32 tooth was smooth, no jumpy needle or anything. Still fit in the hole with not much effort going in.

    It's in. Rear up on stands, hit 35mph on the needle in 3rd gear, everything is turning, no strange noises yet.
    Off to re-calibrate all my shit again.:burnrubber:
