    Stuff. Also things.
    Yeah.

    I was told my crawler would be in my hands within 6 weeks of my order. Six months later, after damn near threatening legal action (they had my money in full the whole time), I finally had it in my possession.

    So forgive for remaining skeptical.

    The option is there. You'll just have to request for it or built your own.

    Well damn. I haven't been to their website in awhile.

    Yes, but Toyota is weird with their grounds and how the add works with 4WD.

    Yeah, I didn't know that literally everything is out of stock.

    Yeah, that's nuts.

    I placed an order for a Tacobox end of December. They swore no more than 12-14 weeks.
    They finally called me July 15th to tell me it was ready. That was the longest 14 weeks lol.

    What were your issues with the TG built box?

    Why not run MC 4.7, factory rf1a case with TG adapter? Will probably run you ~$1600

    I wanted to do that originally, but I can't since MC doesn't make 26 spline stuff for my w59. Already went over all this in the crawlbox bs thread lol.

    I could, but at that point it'd pretty much be the same cost if not more that just doing a TG built unit.
    And that's assuming I can even find a J-shift 6 cyl case close to me. not to mention finding rf1a cases. Only reasonably priced ones I was able to find in cali were forward shift which would be more money to convert.

    edit: sorry to take over your thread cory

    I have the TG adapters and gears 4.7 with an advance adapter case and RAD triple stick, and I didn’t have leak issues, but I also haven’t moved the truck since I put the supercharger on it about a year ago

    I don't mind it. Not much is going to happen in the build thread anyways since I'm not really wheeling this year and there will be no big mods to truck for quite sometime. :pout:

    I saw that advance adapters housing online. You have the HD one? That thing looks beefy as hell.

    My 2nd gen is only a little bit better, I think I've put maybe 1000 miles on it in the last 6 months
    It is and you don't have to do any clearancing to fit the 4.7

    That's convenient. Did you have any clearance issues when trying to fit that bigger case under the trans tunnel? That was the one thing I wondered about with it being twice as thick with more webbing and shit.

    Just give in :spending:
