Bucks "I'm not going to build this one" Build

Nice job on the camper remodel!

 

Thanks man!

 

Got a little snow this weekend

 

Merry Christmas y’all!

 

That’s where it went LOL I thought I was in your thread for tacomas in the snow, then couldn’t find my post since it accidentally went here. Fail

 

Haha I seen that! I do that stuff all the time. I blame my iPhone for it.

 

Front diff drop made and installed finally. Cvs look a lot happier now.

 

Elocker switch all wired up today. Just need to get a axle now and it will all be plug and play. Also ran all the wire for my backup camera since I was in there.

 

And the mods start.

 

What year tacomas have an elocker, im going to see if i can find one.

 

98-04 TRD tacomas came with them and I believe 96-02 Limited 4runners did as well. Just make sure to match your gearing you already have.

 

Finished up the elocker axle swap today. Went to Taco Bell to test it out and everything worked good! Also changed tranny/tcase fluid.

139,xxx
Rear diff 85/140
Tcase 80/90
Transmission 80/90
Elocker axle came out of a 03 @ 144k



Next time I think I’ll wait till it’s above 25 degrees out.

cool resto, are you changing out the rear leafs at all or are they holding up?

 

They are holding up well enough for now. I’ve got air bags so with about 5 psi in them they stay pretty much positive arch. I’d like to go heavier duty ones at some point but I don’t really want to gain any height. Once I wear these tires out I will be going with a 265/70/17 instead of a 275/70/17 and dropping my bilsteins back to the lowest setting.

 

www.generalspringskc.com has HD stock height leafs, meant to carry an extra ~300lbs over stock

 

Thanks I’ll have to check them out! I wonder if they have free shipping

 

Both look good. How much is the 4runner lifted?

 

Thanks, the 4runner had OME 883s and 5100s so I think about 2 3/4. The rear had 1.5” Spacers. My Tacoma now has he same amount of front lift going off the center of hub to fender well measurement.

 

I just checked, when I bought mine apparently I paid $110 for shipping

 

Holy sheeeet!
