Been busy there Mien, I like it. If all you gen3's keep building them up, I'll never be able go on any runs with you all, I'll be stuck on the bottom.


So, is there much difference between your stock e-locker rear end and the gen 4s rear end? Mounts and all. pretty sure the gearing is a little different.

[TCMach]

[downpour11]

lol I love that sound.

 

[downpour11]

I can selectively chirp now. Whateva! I chirp tires when I want! .... well it's not hooked up at the moment.. dammit.

thanks TCMach but i have manual hubs in the front so itll just be the rear that clicks i think if i go with a heavier weigght gear oil it will quit more

Rob its actually pretty good at not chirping on turns as long as i dont aplly to much gas lol

I didnt even think about those manual hubs. That'll make things nicer. Yea I'm running 75w90 heavy redline shockproof and its really not that loud. I have to have the rear windows down to hear it. But boy ive gotten some looks haha

yep the front is completely silent but the rear I notice it clicks more and louder on sharper turns and I havent gotten any looks from anyone but my friends but I only had it in for about 2 weeks so well have to see lol

nice build you got going on there man...Just one question, when you did your manual hub swap, did you use the 4runner spindle and keep the ABS or did you use the tacoma spindle and ditch your ABS?

thanks bro but i used the 4runner spindle and kept the ABS because when the got the hub with the tacoma spindle they where rusted up pretty good

Sweet build and nice score on the parts. For the sake of possibly saving you some hassle. When installing the uca's make sure you put some grease between the bushing and outside washer. I failed to read that part of the install sheet and it started squeeking in a month. After R&r it's perfectly quite.
