    Ever look at your truck and think an LSx swap would make more sense than regearing?

    Ground down a socket to fit with my 1x30 belt sander. By the time it fit the wall of the socket was 1.3mm and still BARELY fit. I'm surprised the socket didn't crack.

    Awesome. Mine took like 4 weeks only after payment was made. Great company to deal with for sure.

    And that Atlas ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination :D

    Atlas costs about 4k after all is said and done doesn't it?


    Has anyone on this board done an LSx swap on their Tacoma (4x4 I think I saw one on a 2WD)?

    I think that might be true for the 4spd depending on the gearing and options you get.

    I have not seen a LS swap in a tacoma. I'm sure somebody has done it somewhere. I've seen them in the older trucks. Vortec swap is a cheaper option; just a heavier engine.

    Atlas is bolted up. Time to start working on everything else. Btw, that transmission jack is a lifesaver.... $80 after the 20% coupon at harbor freight. Uses a 1/2" drive impact to raise and lower.

    Good call on the tranny jack.

    The atlas 4 is even heavier than the 2spd atlas. I just don't see how anybody can install it with bare hands! Well...maybe it can be done with a few extra pair of hands holding it up :)

    I tried to balance it on my jack while pumping it to raise it by myself... 0% chance that was going to work without severely hurting myself. It may only end up getting used every once in a while but it sure beats injuring yourself.

    Using the same jack, for the price its a no brainer. Works well when dropping the tank as well, nice controlled movements.
