    You cut the tail housing, weld it at a 10° clock and that's how it's done.


    It's FRIDAY

    Lets see your example of that.

    BTW your Sig dont really make sense.

    FR means Front Engine Rear drive, and RR means Rear engine Rear Drive

    Sounds like you know everything and make a name for yourself via spam.

    What is a fat belly build? There are so many terms on here which i am still learning.

    I remember when i had an '02 IS300, on my.is forums, i remember the biggest term i had a hard time understanding was "home depot lip"

    Something people cant achieve or understand,
    so they make fun of it and post unhelpful spam/garbage.

    Lifts everything under the frame rails, Up,
    So you can run a continuous skid from the FLCA to the rear spring hangers.

    Maybe I can seal up the entire bottom and make it float.
    :)

    .. I have 2 helical diffs that work great 100% of the time.
    No air compressor, no leaks, no buttons or switches.

    I can drag the brakes and they are locked, cause math.
    Torque Bias Ratio

    I know this guy already got his wrist slapped by the mods in another thread .. but man, the irony of calling some of the most helpful and active members on this forum spam posters and dumpster fire starters is pathetic.

    Flat Belly => High Pinon => logically can't wait for him to find out about portal axles, start a thread about those, and then accuse everyone of being too dumb to know what they are.

    @YungSprung In the spirit of "helping" you learn, "FR" and "RR" when it comes to axles and lockers differ from the engine and drive train configuration terms you're assuming we for some reason don't know about.

    Here is a locker switch for a Land Cruiser (LC):

    The factory installed rear locker in 1st Gen Tacoma's also feature the "RR" designation:

    And a member here who has added a FR to their rig:

    Uh. I mean my truck is kinda flat underneath. As the parts from factory don’t stick below the frame and there’s holes to put skid plates…

    the tcase is above the frame
    I didn’t rotate anything


    Pics or it didn't happen. Post what you did and a DIY.

    I googled your title and all I got was pictures of skinny chicks trying to pull their pants down.

    But it was fun to watch while it lasted. LOL Some people require the kind of self validation you can only get when pissing people off.

    The only way I've seen people clock the T case is by using a transfer case doubler since some of them come with bolt patterns for different degrees of rotation.
