What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Nah I know guys that have found toyota 4.70s with LSDs in tundras.

 

4.70???
Parts diagrams only list 3.93 and 3.73 for the 1st gen tundras. The v6 trucks never came lsd and were 4.10s

 

Saw few dudes in the LT thread back in the day find something like that.

 

Far as I know the tallest gear ever offered factory was 4.56. Now I’m curious

 

yeah let me know. I think I've seen 2 guys with it and remember going WTF? Because 4.70 is a weird ration by itself.

 

I’ll see if i can find anything tomorrow

 

What clutch? The noise on my TOB is making me paranoid so might do it all.

 

LCE pro clutch. It’s a bit stronger than the stock one, but still close to stock pedal feel.
I bought this bundle kit with the heavy flywheel.

How do dealer-installed LSDs fit in? Would a dealer use a complete LSD with gears, or would they order a bare LSD and swap the gears?

 

I have the LCE dual comp clutch for mine (S/C 5vz) and its held up good for the past couple years.

 

I'm currently running the Marlin kit right now and have been super happy with it even with hard wheeling and heavy clutch work. I guess the concern here is how much heavier it might feel when crawling.

 

the LCE is stock feeling, I wish it was heavier. I used to have and ACT2600 in my old eclipse which was a leg workout, loved it!

 

That doesn't look good for other drivers. Take a night shot behind another vehicle. If you can see their rearview mirror then that's no bueno.

 

You mean all the super sweet mall crawler and IG overlanders that drive around with their $700 yellow fog lights BLASTING people in the eye isnt COOL AS FFFFFF!? lol #haters#rigsofintsa#iamidiot

 

on behalf of all other drivers you'll be blinding...fuck you lol

Those head lights are illegal AF. Would not run those on the road.

Look for something like this:



Various makes that make lights like that, those are DOT approved and work much better.

 

Brings back horrible memories of @IDtrucks being behind me, was like a collapsed sun in my rear view

 

yeah there were awful.

 

There's a caveat to that. Not all lockers are "TRD elockers"
First of all, the locker was available before there was even such a thing as TRD. Second, the locker was available to be ordered without the TRD package, even after there was TRD.

So the distinction is more clear to say almost all lockers had 4.10, but not all of them.

 

Yes, an elock 4Runner axle would be 8.0

As a matter of fact ALL 3rd Gen 4Runner rear axles are 8.0. Regardless of whether they were locked or not. There is no 8.4 3rd Gen 4Runner axle.


And also... it is a pretty simple modification to get a non-elock T4R to accept a locker. It requires a little bit of clearancing of a couple areas with a grinder, and drilling and tapping 2 holes. There are a few vendors that sell a template for this. Low Range Off Road is one. (just a tid bit of random info)
