Inside the '05+ Tacoma T case

so with two lows, you can go really really low?

btw, where do you get the aftermarket parts? is this stock Toyota transfer case?

 

Yes I can go really really slow. Some of the parts are factory Toyota parts just from different vehicles and some are after market parts.

 

not a toyota but just to give idea of double low range to those wondering.

Sounds like I want atleast 3 sticks, and 4 really looks better, a real mans truck!

EDIT: makes crawling easier. (idle rite up the rock)

I am reading up on this. So basically with the 4 sticks you can have this configuration

2wd hi
2wd low
2wd extra low

4wd hi
4wd low
4wd extra low

This is correct?

 

Actually because my crawler and transfer case have different gear ratios it's actually more like

hi
low
really low
and super low

 

hahaha EVEN BETTER!

Can I ask how much the total conversion ran you$$$, and did you do it yourself, or had it done? Thanks.

 

I did it myself.. And no it's not cheap. Price all depends on what options you go with, and there are several different ways of doing it.

If you don't take your truck in the rocks theres really no point in spending the money on this kind of modification. Not sure what your plan is with your truck.

 

Need to just vent> Had been looking for AWD transfer case for few months already with no luck
I hope I get something in time for next winter.
I am seriously ready to spent 2K and just get new one from Toyota

 

Do you know what model vehicles they have to come out of? I might be able to get my hands on one out of a 4th gen Limited model 4 runner. I know that would have the center diff lock which when left unlocked can be run in 4wd on the road without doing damage to the case.

 

Is your 4runner V6. ?
Its 2004 -2008 4runner case out of V6 with 5 speed out (exact same setup us our trucks) the only difference case is AWD.
I am sure I will get one at some point, I am just being impatient
Found few mislabeled those that were correct had missing actuators and now I am thinking I may just get case with no actuators and get actuators out of the our (2gen) cases. Well we see how this work out.

 

The case I know of, while at the moment I'm not sure on the exact year, I know it's a 4th gen, v-6 auto trans.

 

I did see one in Virginia on Car Parts but they want $1200 for it so that's way out on my price range.. Plus 2004 with 3000 miles .. most likely its another one mislabled.
But if you can check yours ... See how much they want for it. I may take a trip to Virginia

 

Well I checked and the local one I know of was actually a V8 so it's different. But she did say there was another one in VA asking like $600 or something. Somewhere up in Yorktown.

He He.... Look at that 6 spd beef!

 

excellent, now if you can post info on how to turn Tacoma into 2wd <> AWD <> 4hi <> 4L Tcase for us snow folks it would be awesome.
Greatly appreciated all the info you posted so far

 

HA ha

 

One way to do that is to use the 4runner t case if you have the auto transmission. Then you would have to use the front drive cv's and spindles from the 4runner as well. Haven't really looked into it very much though.

OR you could get the FJ twin stick Case i build, use the switch for the ADD and then you would have the ability to go from 2wd to 4wd on the fly whether your in hi or lo and you wouldn't have to switch any of the front parts at all. Now thats a better approach IMO.

 

I have future special ideas for that input shaft

I've got plans. Evil laugh! The Atlas can kiss my a--

 

subbed if i ever decide to get this crazy
