Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

Yep. If you're not chasing width and fine with 63wms, 80FF is perfect since they're 9.5

 

There are plenty of axles out there in a variety of different widths. I love the idea of staying all Toyota but if I ever sas my second gen it’s going to be with a 78/79 bronco Dana 44 and 9” combo.

 

I would love to run a Diamond rear!

 

Is it ok for the outlet is the reservoir to be lower than the pumps inlet?

I have this res of about 2.5x the stock volume I would like to install approximately here on the inner fender

 

Make sure you do at least 30 spline outers if you do full float

 

No sir. The outlet on the reservoir needs to be higher, not by much though. Here is my setup:

 

Lots of good info on these here. I missed out on a solid axle swap Tacoma the other day and I’m super bummed out. Anyone know of any crew cab first Gens w SAS done for sale? Don’t want to piss everyone off on this thread and turn it into a classified ad, but please
PM me of you have a link or some info.

 

Do it yourself so you know what went in it

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I got spoiled with a shop and a lift in the past. Working on building another shop so I can have the space to do it. Of course time is a killer too. I used to have all the time in the world to fab stuff. Getting older and more responsibilities sucks... haha. Would be cool to buy one built and work on it here and there as I go along.

 

Maybe try posting an In Search Of (ISO) add in your local state section of the forum as well as the First gen BUY SELL area I think that is allowed.

 

That is a clean setup

 

I’ll be selling my crew cab 2nd gen soon if you’re interested.

 

How bout an ext cab?

 

*Fart noise

11k is too much for single case, 35” tires, no beadlocks, no hydro assist, skyscraper on leafs and 5100’s. I’d put it more in the ballpark of $5-6k

 

That price is high and you value it at 5-6k? Where are you finding these 5-6k tacoma from? Stock 4wd is selling for that price. I would say 11k is fair if the interior and welds/work are clean and should sell for 8-10k no problem.

 

What’s my second gen worth?
Dana 60 front Detroit locker 35 spline shafts.
Dana 60 rear grizzly locker & 35 spline shafts.
PSC pump
FJ case with twin sticks
38in Patagonias
14in bilsteins front & rear with leafs.

 

Can’t compare to stock once it’s been cut up into a crawler. No one is cross shopping a stock truck and this one. Not to mention that this one has 220k, isn’t terribly straight and has a mixed and matched interior.

-Interior has been seat swapped with scion seats that are too tall if you’re 6’+
-Zero pictures of the fab work, just a bunch of exterior shots from a distance. Rear shackle angle is fubared...what else is hiding?
-4.88’s are the wrong gear for 37’s+
-Does the A/C work?

Don’t get me wrong, my junk is far from perfect and could get picked apart in a for sale ad too but there’s no way I’d post mine for $13k like the guy did originally. As a complete truck, mine is probably worth $7-8k tops. It would be worth significantly more parted out, like all built crawlers.

 

Mileage? Interior? A/C? 5.38’s? Crawlbox?

 

140k miles
Interior is in good shape. AC works... No rips. Pretty clean. Going to clean up the console a little from the twin sticks. No crawl box. It has 4.56 gears. Still crawls fine being automatic not manual.
Kinda curious cause I’m gonna post it this spring.

Not defending the guy and don't know him at all. Haven't seen his truck either, lol. Sometime its almost worth it to part it out instead of selling it complete.
