Definitely got me thinking about it that is for sure. I wouldn't have this CV issue if I threw a 60 up there...

yeah and it only took me 3 years to break a dana 30 so what are you trying to say.

anways, do you have the ARB in the front yet? if so I would check it first

it sounds like the CV is binding somehow, we need pictures

Nah I actually ended up selling the ARB, and still have the Loc-Rite up front.

I am uploading some pics of the break now, it will be wednesday before I can start disassembling it.

So for the past four months my truck has had some weird bind in it. Finally got around to taking a look at it with a couple Toyota mechanic buddies and after taking it apart and reassembling I think my front Lock-Rite has done blowed up.

I have three choices:

1) Replace said Lunch box locker - $300?
2) Replace with ARB - ~$1200
3) Let it sit for about 8-10 months and collect parts for Solid Axle Swap - $1000 - $3000

:D

it is probably just the pins which you can get for like $18 and takes a couple of hours. I would just replace those and call it good for now

This is a great idea, if at this point I felt like getting my diff out of there. Between my skids and pulling a front diff in a taco, that is half a day right there. :(

No matter what this situation is going to sit in the driveway for a little while.

And no Brian I ain't selling the thing. Jackass. :flipoff2:

I agree w/ Creighton, try to fix the pins (and if that's it, save the money for the sas).

I think this is my motivation to start saving for the Swap. I have the new (to us) beater 40 to wheel for a while and the Taco ain't costing me anything to sit in storage at the Ranch for a while until I have an axle and all the suspension and steering sorted out. Decisions, decisions...

from my experience, trail gears quality control is not par with the other companies, spend the extra.

personally id just buy a marlin kit and be done with it, given you have the cash.

Don't forget yanking the shafts so you can get the diff out. I'd say sell it if you can't find the time to fix something this simple, or just pay to have it fixed and get on with it. SAS is the correct way to fix this problem, the IFS **** evidently doesn't work.

That would be great if this was a 4Runner or a Truck, but it ain't it is a Tacoma. Little more difficult to do a swap. No Marlin kit. I think all-pro has a coil over kit that is way more money than i will ever spend, but there are a couple other places that have some spring hanger kits ready to go, I just need to start researching.

If you ever need the heads knocked off of sparkplugs, Rowdy is definitely your man. ;)

This coming from the guys that welded a lock-rite into a giant paperweight in the A&A parking lot :flipoff2:
