I'm eyeballing ironman RN with the 25% they are running....

I don't have first hand knowledge, but on most toyota models there's a difference in the input shaft for manual vs auto. Edit: good lord, this is an old thread. Cheers.

I need details here. Wife's Transfer case ate it the other day.

Made a hair of progress on the front gears. Took a total guess on the pinion spacer (I recycled the old master shim without thinking) Got the ring gear on the ARB (totol PITA) and played with setting up the backlash a bit. I... got close on the shim job and then I did a pattern - not enough shim...

Totally, my front diff is in pieces on the bench but I drove it today.

Damn nice!

Rear end is done. My arms and back were a bit sore after, but the 4.88s are installed and the diff is back in the rear, axles are back on, rear brakes were replaced - rebuilt calipers, new pads and rotors. If I have a complaint - my drive pattern looked great, but my reverse/coast pattern has...

I was stuck in some heavy snow one night - like 3-4 feet and I'm pretty sure that the locker wasn't working at that point. It was installed by a previous owner. I also hit a sheet of ice the next day. I'm not sure which event killed the diff. One more pro of the Toyota locker - the mechanism...

I've been working on my diffs, I figured I'd make a few notes on the difference. I've got both diffs out of my 1999 100 series for gearing. Last winter I shredded the ring gear up front and decided to change both of them to 4.88s in the process. The Toyota locker: Is super simple - It simply...

Not much to offer without more detail. I'd pull the motor and then have someone run the button to make sure it's working to start with.

Tonight I worked on my rear diff just a little bit - finished wire brushing things, cleaned out the pinion seal surface a bit and pressed on the pinion bearings. Tomorrow I'll warm up the new ring gear and see if I can't get it mounted to the carrier. I figure slow and steady wins the race here...

Welp, since I last updated this thread, I moved, went off in my camper and left the poor DDoD to sit after moving. Upon return, I went to investigate a grinding brake and found a caliper piston was getting into a rotor in the rear. This week, I pulled apart the rear brakes, dissasembled my ARB...

True, but I was pulling my calipers anyway - on one of them the caliper was into the rotor. I considered cutting the brackets but I've hacked enough on this truck.

I needed to pull my axles for re-gearing and was surprised at the lack of info on pulling the 100's semi floating rear axles. I found loads of vids and photosfor the full floating rear axle, but of course, my 1999 UJZ came with Semi floating axles. (And I kept failing when searching for a FSM)...
