NOW A FULL PART OUT-LS/4l80, linked, caged/full back half Tacoma prerunner

Figured id give a small update, rear 9" is about done, waiting on 1 axle shaft and need to order 1 shorter brake line, and need to weld on shock tabs. Biggest hold up is im going on 2 months waiting on my spindles from solo motorsports

 

Finally got the truck back running with the new spindles and 9 inch Ford rear end. Already got a new deaver leaf setup on the way and bypasses in the works finally. Truck does much better with a 4.88 over 4.10. Super happy with everything

 

no more ridiculous squat thanks to the new dealer h70 leafs calling accutune offroad about some bypasses next week

 

Man crank those CO down a bit! Looks great though. No 4wd still?

 

I ditched 4x4.

 

Bummer.

 

the truck is pretty much where I want it to be for the time being. theres a few small things left that I want to do, get the AC back working, and a new much stronger driveshaft. I think a blower is in the works down the road as well Never enough power. thinking about going with a LSA blower setup, should make around 600-650 rwhp.

 

Looking good!! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

 

I have jumped it many times, its like landing on a cloud. I'm slightly limited being in west Tennessee lol

 

Jump pics / videos please

 

how wide are your fenders?

 

6 inch flares i believe. Biggest ones available from adv fiberglass

 

Ill try to get some lol

 

1 wonder if I can clear 35's with the same kit but 4x4

 

well this is the last thing I would have wanted to post here but the tacoma had a massive failure. The trans failed and locked up on me driving down the road and attempted to rip it self out of the truck. it shattered the bell housing, destroyed everything internal of the trans, and destroyed the engine block. it ripped the starter off the block and took several other chunks with it.. I took the trans apart to try to see if I could find the fail point, I think it was a combination of the input shaft failing, and the output shaft being bent and causing a vibration that over time destroyed the innards of the trans. I had a 2.5 inch driveshaft built for it and it withstood everything but still had a bad vibration, tom woods built a custom 4 inch shaft that I installed that morning. I made it 1 mile with the new driveshaft. I think the new bigger and stronger shaft didn't take the vibration as well as the old one which put all the force on the trans which caused the explosion. time for a massive rebuild with way more power!

 

Ouch. Glad it didn't destroy the truck though

 

It was close. the rear tires locking up at 65 and it damn near caught on fire since evey bit of trans fluid came pouring out.

 

I'm sure. Not fun when that happens. Mine locked up the front diff at 45.

 

just a little update, new motor is in the process of being built. going to be a few weeks. in the meantime the new trans should be arriving soon and everything should go together fairly quick! nothing stock about this new engine. its going to be a whole different animal

 

new trans has arrived, now just waiting on the engine. going to be one crazy combination
