I was checking my angle between tranny and rear diff. Is a 1deg different a problem?
I only see 4deg shims.
Should this be something to worry about?
Thanks
Tommy
I can't imagine that 1 degree is an issue especially in the rear. What is the health of your U-joints/driveshafts?

Both in good shape. I never checked it before I moved the rear back 1”. Just making sure it was not an issue. I wouldn’t think 1deg would be an issue.🤷‍♂️
 
It's a special build Tommy. I am enjoying following along.
Thanks!! Your first is always special ..lol Can't wait to get some color on it. Shooting for Mid to late December. Weather should be good in the garage. Would like 70's and no humidity.

You’re doing awesome and are an inspiration.
 
I picked up the hose clamp kit from CityRacer.
It’s nice to have a back stock and change out the rusty worm drive ones as I work on the truck.
 
Tore to the transfer case tonight and this gear looks like the bearing twisted inside, does not line up with oil hole, and looks a little worn.
Is this something that comes in the transfer repair kit?

yea, I ordered a bunch from Toyotaparts and the hose side at the engine side is larger than the radiator side. Booooo
 
So I had a small amount of metal in the bottom of the drain plug. I suspect that is typical. Looking to change out the syncro gears. Just eye-balling the gears, looks pretty good to me. But I have no idea what bad would look like unless its missing a tooth. lol
