Don't forget to have them check out the steering rack...I wouldn't be surprised if it or the tie rod ends got damaged

3 day weekend :haha:...I seem to remember a lot of crap dragging out for quite a while.But mine took 2 weeks of working nights on it
It took a week to get the front driveline done and back. Plus 2 more trys at getting the shackles right but I was driving it on day 3. Oh ya and can't forget the rear leaf conversion which I did a few weeks after over a weekend. It was about a month of tweaking things before I actually wheeled it.

It's not a hack job if that is what you are implying. Took a day to cut and grind, a day to hang it all correctly and a day of welding to get it rolling.:awesomework:

this truck was low maintanance until he went to 39.5 tsl. with 38x15.5 radial tsl this thing drove awesome, the bias just shake more. the old tacos are narrower than you think. things dont get much wider than the old trucks. 05 up taco thats a different story.
Steering rack needs replaced. Passenger side broke off. If they wont give me the money for it, I'm not sure if I will go SA, or just fix it and get some new parts......

Actually there is a 2.5" difference between a yota SA w/ 1.5" spacers and a waggyD44. Coincidentally there is a 2.75" difference between a 95.5-04 taco rear and an 86-95 ifs rear.
Although you could run a yota axle with IFS hubs and 1.5" spacers and equal a taco rear...but your scrub would be pretty bad

if you plan to dual case the truck it doesnt matter. you just get marlins taco to old toploader adapter then dual case it like normal. of you run a drivers drop front axle and want to double up, then youhave to get an adapter to go from taco 5 speed to old toploader, then an adapter to go back to taco transfer case. i think this is correct? anyways on a street mild/trail truck a dana44 is probally the best/easiest route. on a trail machine the toy axle rates over a d44 to me, so thats the direction i would go ultimately you can get toy housings built 3 inches wider with the diff on either side.

That sounds about right, Gibby and I did his in about 16 hours. The toughest part is all of the grinding
Of course that was was a back before his D60's

Looks like that arb bumper sis a good job keeping body damage to a minimum. I dont know if you missed it but the chop shop guy has all your parts I saw he just did a sas on an 06 taco if Im not mistaken, and I bet it would save some dough.
