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

That's kind of amazing really haha

CALLED IT!

Just do it man. 35s and LT. It is the SHIT. You'll thank me later

Also, the only leaf pack that'll keep up is a SUA setup honestly..sooo....yeah.

Also Deaver make GREAT leaf packs. Not as common with our trucks for whatever reason. But Brett(wyo Brett) has a custom Deaver pack. They cost a bit more, think he paid $900 for his, but he's had them for like 8 years with that extra 40gal gas tank back there haha

i get through him at some point. Will help now that your a convert haha

I think Mikes were only speced for +350 over stock. Pretty low for a 5800-5900lb taco.

His new ones he just added though are for 800 over I think. He should come in and say himself @Digiratus plus give an update after his first test run with the new triples in the back.

 

true thats gonna put the hurt on them.

And haven't yet is the key word. In a few months you'll see. well..i still think in a few months you're also gonna be trying to figure out how to regear as soon as possible..but whatever. haha

 

I wonder what Brett and I said to get 1000lb over.

 

Let me know when you figure that out

 

99to 96 front today went smoothly.

 

Not sure. I think it's pretty close though. Maybe 800 would have been better, but certainly not any less than that.

x2.

I really should have bought a TG crawl box when you could have got one for 25% off from low range a few weeks ago.

 

I wouldn't want any less than what I have.

 

Hypothetically with our chain driven transfer cases, couldn't we just replace the gear(s) and shorten/lengthen the chain (if those parts existed)?

I've always wanted a 3-speed transfer case... Highway (1:1), normal driving with camping load 1.x:1), and low (3.x:1) instead of the current 2-speed (1:1 & 2.57:1).

 

You can get an Atlas 4 speed.

LOL @ marlin. Go ready a little bit about their leaking, pieced together crawl boxes and customer service before buying from them. I'd go with TG for a crawl box, and TG isn't that great themselves.

 

Screw it. I'm going to pull my engine and trans and just weld a Tesla motor to the transfer case and throw the batteries in the bed. DONE.

 

No thanks. I'll take an eco boost with the 7 speed manual w/extra low 1st gear they say is coming in the new Broncos.

 

You should do some reading in the crawlbox BS thread.
It's quite the rabbit hole and there's a lot of compatibility things you need to take into consideration when looking into getting a dual case setup.

 

Changed the diff breather, diff oil and installed a new shift boot

 

That's called a crawl box! Add a 2nd one and you're there.

Doesn't inchworm make them for TG and Marlin?

 

Just saw a video with a mkvi Supra with a new 6spd auto from the new mustang in it. Damn it shifted fast and smooth. Made the car super Street able.

 

Nah, I was dreaming of a one transfer case, single stick or multi-stick in the same row or *GASP* some electronic actuators doing the work because I'm not afraid of electronics. I know this part is dreaming even more, but then I wouldn't have to adjust driveshaft lengths, mess with moving/adding crossmembers, etc.

Anyway, this isn't a reality, so we can move on.

 

Ah yeah doesn't exist. Atlas is about as close as you can get for that but custom as anything

 

Gave the topper a fresh coat of flat green paint.
Attempting to diagnose a bad e-brake. I can engage the brake but then it sticks on. The cable appears to be frozen in place somewhere in front of the rear diff (inside of the sealed tubing). Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this? I can pretty easily get down behind the diff and pull the cable in order to release tension on the brakes so it can't be stuck too bad, but it won't release with the handle.

 

Only for trail gear. An inchworm doesn't really make them for them they were bought out. Marlins product is entirely their own

 

COVID projects continue. my brother gave me an extra cargo net off his subaru. I rigged it up for the kiddos to put their stuff up while on long trips.
