    Detroit Truetrac for 1st gen front diff with ADD. Personal experience wanted.

    I don't have IFS, but a solid axle front. I have a TrueTrac in the front, and an ARB in the rear. There are times when I wish I had a full locker in the front, but for 90% of what I do the TT works great. A bit of understeer when I turn the hubs, but that's about all I can gripe about.

    Front Runner H2O Can on ARB Extended Slide

    Recently I acquired a NIB ARB extended fridge slide (thanks @inonil) . According to ARB that extension can be used for several things, including jerry can style water containers. The issue I saw was even with the slide you needed to use a lot of muscle to get the container out. I currently...

    Autohome Columbus XL Install Question

    Thanks. My overhang would be at the rear/fat end. I suspect I'm going to be OK, but I would like to know if I can push the overhang off the back to 32".

    Autohome Columbus XL Install Question

    Thanks. The phone number on the website goes to a fax. The fax number also goes to a fax. Email doesn't seem to work either.

    Autohome Columbus XL Install Question

    Ordered today, but I do have one install question. How much overhang off the load bar can the tent have in the rear? Right now I'm looking at anyplace between 24" and 32". Is there a magic number that is too much?

    Dirt Sunrise: Tim and Kelsey get lost...

    Every time I watch one of your Baja videos I want to pull a Pacifico out of the fridge. Nice job getting the Hilux going.

    You have to admit it was a rather creative place to put it. It was just dumb from a service perspective.

    Which are available aftermarket. Rockauto.com usually has them for way less than anybody.

    Ditto, also DOA, in a DOA engine at around 135K. My guides were in OK shape. The chain just snapped. No noise. Nothing jammed, in fact the engine was still spinning as I rolled to a stop. Problem is the 22RE is an interference engine. Bent the #4 exhaust valve.

    Mine did. Of course it was an aftermarket chain the engine builder installed … with steel guides. Catastrophic fail on the freeway. Just quit.

    Depends on the amount of damage done when the gaskets blew. If the engine was over-heated it's possible the heads are warped/cracked.

    Sort of. The 22RE were all W-series 5 speeds with a 21-spline gear drive transfer case. The 22RET (turbo) received a R-series transmission, the highly desirable R151F, with a 23-spline gear drive transfer case (not chain). You can use the R151F bellhousing to bolt the V6 R150F transmission...

    Your solution is the 3.4L 5VZFE from a 1995-2004 Tacoma or 4Runner. Common swap and very supported in the aftermarket. It's still a swap with the work involved, but going from 3.0 to 3.4 is easier than 2.4 to 2.7. https://www.toyonlyswaps.com/
