Since I have the case off still, I will absolutely check that. Up until yesterday, I had no issue with anything shaking even above 90mph. I don't especially want to have to go through all this again so I am trying to get everything squared away and checked off before break something again and I...

Interesting info, thanks for digging. I ended up just ordering a replacement 97 4runner case. Its the same as in there now so it should drop in after modding the shift rails for the twin stick. I may try removing the syncro or knocking the teeth off of the current gear to see if I can save the...

Can't confirm it, just relaying what I was told. Sean

I just got off the phone with rock solid toys and it looks like the a340 has a different pattern than the a750 so I either need to swap the transfer case adapter or I need to get another 4runner case. Oh well. Sean

Just to clarify, the auto coupler as in the input shaft to connect the transfer case to the transmission? Sean

Nope, same amount of end play as before. The internal detents in the case hold the shift rails in place anyways, the shifter I made doesn't lock or apply any pressure unless you are moving it. Another question, do the fj cruiser cases use the same bolt pattern that the a340 trans uses...

It looks like you can't order just a replacement syncro, you can purchase a replacement assembly but its $300 so I may try and gut my stock tundra case and swap the components over. Can y'all think of anything that would have caused the transfer case to try to shift on its own? The shifter...

My truck started clicking and vibrating at about 65mph on the way to work this morning, I figured out it was coming from the transfer case once I made it off the highway and was able to get the noise to stop by switching between 2wd high, 4wd high, and 4wd low, then back to 2wd high...

Gnarly mud sections. I am not sure I would have gone thought that. Looks like a great trip Sean

On the acorn style spline drive nuts, I have had the splined section break off the tapered part before. I had to drill the stud out because it was recessed inside the conical seat of my wheels. Sean

Thanks for the kind words, its a work in progress but its a labor of love. It has already proven to be useful, the under hood lights have been particularly helpful when doing wiring. Sean

does it change with speed? does it change if you shift into neutral does it change in 4wd vs 2wd Mine was clearly a driveshaft issue, exacerbated by adding the front drivetrain. Once I rebuild the double cardan it went away completely. The joints felt fine but a combination of the joints being...

Running the same one, I think the main complaint is that it doesn't do much. I just finished the 4wd swap on my truck so I can't comment for long term. I will say that when cycling the suspension while tubbing the wheelwells, the cv's start to get stiff at full bump and full droop. Sean

Check and clean the driveshaft carrier and double cardan joint. You can rebuild them but its tricky and uses special u joints. Sean

DIY Cheap Awning Made a cheap easy awning for camping or whatever. The tarp I think was a free coupon for harbor freight, the rest was $20ish from lowes. 1 6.5'x5.5' hazard frito tarp 5 5'x0.5" conduit 3 0.5" conduit connectors 2 m8 rivnuts 2 m8 bolts 2 3/8 unc nuts 2 3/8 unc bolts 2 corkscrew...

What is the approximate air temp up there? Sean

I picked up a scangauge last year and have been keeping an eye on my temps after replacing my radiator. Since it is warming up, I wanted to check and see what everyone else runs at. Coolant stays between 191 and 193 depending on outside temp. If I am towing or idling in a parking lot with 95+...

Yeah, pretty typical. Make sure the fuel system is up to par as well. I read a while back about running a larger capacity wire to the fuel pump to help stabilize the voltage better. Rather than the long term fuel trims being off, the bigger issue is that since you have 1 o2 per bank and 4...

Rebuilding shocks is really not that hard. The parts to do it are cheap and really its just oil and seals that go bad. I picked up my Donahoe Racing (now icon) shocks for $150 shipped, replaced both shafts, all the seals, the oil, and the fill valves for under $200. Sean

Wow, that stereo has hack shop written all over it. I have seen way too much of that type of stuff sold as "high end" work. I have RAAMat in my tundra and while it works, I really wish I had gone with a spray on liner instead. Its been on the truck since 2009ish and has proven to be a huge mess...
