What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Looks great!

How do you like the Eibach shocks? Did you use the stock coils?

 

It's been pouring here all morning and now through lunch. If it were a few degrees colder, we'd have half a foot of snow.

 

It's scary warm here this week. Around 70. We currently have the heat off and windows open.

 

You all don't know how much it pains me to leave this behind. @empty_lord would know exactly what I'm talking about

 

Is that grey or brown? I might want some parts.

 

A rare V6 4x4? I think that's the only combo that came with a manual transfer case right?

 

I’d be grabbing that trans to 4x4 swap the v6

 

I need the trans too?

 

That manual T-case is sweet.

 

We don’t normally get this much snow at our elevation. Wet heavy shit that is downing trees on every power line. So thankful we still have power. Thousands without power and heat.

 

I have no jacks. Any special instructions in removing it? I can pull the T-cas, but not sure on trans. Somebody give me a quick step by step

 

You make it seem like one can do this in minutes.

 

Easy part is over. Driveshaft is out in one piece lol

Now I gotta figure out the trans, and t-case.

@empty_lord any engine harnesses or control modules that I need?

 

Did you already ask how much they want for the transmission?

 

No, I didn't... didn't think about it. Fueld with 4WD lust

 

250 for the transmission, and differential. They classify the t-case as part of the transmission

 

No brainer if you have tools to pull it.

 

Trans is run bolted from cross member. Sure wish I had someone to tell me what kind of electronics I need with it...

 

No power in winter is a big suck. My house is all electric...except the two fireplaces I have. Haven't used them because I haven't made a place to stack wood. But I really should. There's money to be replaced with labor.

 

Well boys, there's one cv axle, and one knuckle. Rusted the fuck up from Maine. Trans, and t-case are rusty, but not that bad. Haven't snapped any bolts yet.

Both driveshafts are out. The way they have the truck sitting up, I can't take the front skid plate off, and don't have Sawzall. Can I leave front diff and get a tacoma one later?

Trans with t-case can be unvolted from engine under the truck unless there is something in the bell housing I'm not aware of.

 

New rear shell door struts on just now, completing the set of 6 replacements. So awesome to not get hit on the head.

 

Just the torque converter. It's bolted to the engine and it and the trans will piss ATF when you separate them. But you can get the trans off.

 

Been raining the last few hours. The only low spot in this whole yard happens to be under this truck... I'm covered in mud without a spare change of clothes

Simple process on torque co verter?

 

Just cut the engine harness up by the bellhousing, you need to remove the torque converter bolts, and then the bell housing bolts. But you’ll want a long ass extension or 2

 

I've got three 6 inch 3/8 drive. 18 inches of shaft. Too short?

 

The TC bolts will be accessed though a small panel on the bell housing....at least that's how every other TC/flexplate bolt I've ever had to undo was done.
The long extension Dan is talking about is for the upper bellhousing bolts if I had to venture a guess.

Depending on how much of the doghouse is intact, you may be able to reach those top boiz from above. It's certainly worth a look.

 

May havevto revisit later...

 

That cigarette in your hand says it all. Reminds me of that Ben Affleck meme.
