Forget 44s and 8.8s...lets talk Toyotas

[haynesn12]

so what is the best way to do this rear end swap. i really wanna do it cause its not as common as a 8.8 and the rear end was free.

The studs end up falling off the edge of the center hole in the drum. The only way to redrill to 5x4.5 is to convert to disks.

V6 2wd '95-up tacos use a 5x4.5 BP

well i fitted the housing up under my truck today and its to narrow. the spring perches are right at the ends so. it wont work. i'll find something else to put it in. are there any other good axle swap canidates because i wanna do somthin different then an 8.8 or a 44.

A Sunray or Diamond 9" center with Mog 404 or 416 outers would definitely be different around here. Of course then, you would have to match the front.

That's the one, only those are not 60 outers. It's Mog 416.

Fergie, crayon writer,

did you ever complete the taco swap?
How did it go, if yes?

Ive got a built rotated waggy front that Im looking to match to a 6 lug e-locker taco axle.
It looks like all Id have to do to the taco axle is regear-488 and re weld perches.

there isnt any snags regearing a elocker 410 third to 488 is there?

the 6 cyl toyota gears are different than the 4cyl toyota gears, and the e-locker wont fit in a standard 3rd member, you need a specific E-locker third member to have it fit...

other than that - i dont know

 

[creeperjeep]

from what ive read the elocker gears are same a a turbo4/6cyl
the plan is to get a complete axle from the wrecking yard.
i looked and theyre about 600-700+

Yes the taco e-locker still uses the old style third and the turbo4/v-6 gears. Gearing is just like the old style toy's with side adjusters but be prepared to spend some $$ on the bearing. The pinion bearings on the v-6 housings are expensive but the bearing on the actuator side was the most expensive one. I couldn't find a good picture of it.

Also make sure you run a good vent line and pull the motor and check for moisture. The copper spot was where one of the pickups for the limiting switch was. Completely coroded away. It's a not replaceable part and a new motor is $500. We found a used one for $200. Little crap like that makes me not want to deal with one again.
