Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

What I really am looking at is knuckle/spindle gussets. Why are ready made ones in the 2k range??? The kit looks like it’s around $75. Knuckle/spindles at full retail are $450 ea. proud of that weld job they are. Yes I am lazy and just want to bolt something on.,. But looks like I am going to have to suck it up and do it myself

 

Money is no object if I go in this rabbit hole. Need Dana 60 front and rear etc etc

Yikes...

 

Did you win the lottery and forget to tell us?

 

Hurry! Only 5 left in stock.

 

I am just the garden variety idiot, but unless you are looking to add some go-fast to your life, I am curious what more HP would do for you that a double-transfer case wouldn't do better. Most of the stuff you seem to do is slower-speed, so I would think torque would be more beneficial than HP. Are you manual or auto? I could certainly see the benefit to an LS swap if you wanted to go fast and wanted a 4 or 6L80 and high stall torque converter to get a shitload of power by keeping the engine running a bit higher.

 

You are correct. There are a bazillion Toyota diesel boat engines out there just begging for a Tacoma swap. Lots o torque. High cool factor. Time and money…

 

Seems like a pretty good deal… hummmm

 

To break things faster? 'Murican HP! Solid axles, 4 link!

It's a sickness...​

 

The more horsepower the more effective whiskey throttle is at 2am.

 

All this foreign language, I don't understand........Think I'd just bolt on a supercharger for 7k.

 

That's not far from here...

 

The only problem w/ those is the welded rear,,,not street friendly.

The consensus over on the SAS thread says 05 & later SD axles can be had pretty cheap.

 

So... you spend time there? Never been. Guess if I am serious I should go investigate.

 

Yes I do, they also say the WB is near the same.
