tacoma 1st gen 5lug

2wd 5 luggers make a great rig to SAS!

 

I'm thinking on something like this, any idea what he install on it?

 

There is a 5 lug forum here. That's where you need to be posting/looking around.

Lift isn't as easy or wild as the tough guys in this neighborhood, but it is doable.

But please. Do it right with quaility parts, and don't do that reverse rake nonsense like you have pictured above.

 

Long travel.

 

Here's my 5 lug. Fabtech uppers, spindles, and springs. Sprung over with aal in the rear.

 

Front

 

Rear

 

+1, friends don't let friends put a bro-lean on their truck

 

Where do I get that sick blue diff cover?

 

at the local auto parts store on the spray paint aisle

 

Actually if you want I can ask the previous owner. He may still have the can...lol. yeah been meaning to paint that back black lol

 

I can only assume he did it because the fabtech stuff is blue.

 

Its probably TRD

 

Jealous

 

Keep in mind that cover dosent come off...its part of the whole axle housing. To access the innards the front of the axle comes off not the rear...

 

Yep done had it out once.

 

Hopefully not for expensive reasons?? Well i guess no matter what it was prolly expensive hu? Either for repair or for a gear change or locker install....

 

Well, it has a 5.83 gear and a locker but it makes a ratcheting noise so I pulled it to inspect. Everything seems to be OK. I made a thread on it to look for opinions but for now it's just gonna make noise...lol

 

Wow that puppy is low geared, i bet it makes it nice for nice n slow 4xing though!

I run 5.29 in my white truck and i love that ratio!

 

Actually it's still 2wd. Working on a sas parts gathering now.
