Update 7/31/2022:
Skip to page 3 and 4 if you want to see updates on the 2uz swap. I have a few items left to finish and then I’ll post a video of it running/driving.
Edit 2/20/2021:
I recently stripped the timing gear on my 2F. It’s coming out and I’m dropping in a 1999 100 Series drivetrain. Also, I’m going back to 35s, open rear axle, I may install the liquid iron leaf spring sliders that @A10Driver installed on his 40 but just for the front axle.
After that I’ll enjoy it and take my kiddos on short day trips. Thanks for checking in!

I posted this in the 40-Section but this might gain more traction here:
I'm rethinking my future plans on my 40. When I built it we lived around some great rock crawling. Now I live in the City, and I have a 7 month old so wheeling time is few and far between.
Current setup:
35s, SOA, SM420 w/ 3 speed case, Aussie locker front, Welded rear, 4x4labs high steer, Saginaw power steering, stock 2F, City Racer carb, Metaltech full family cage, lots of rust.
The other kicker is that in our house my garage height is very low. I have to switch to stock Tacoma rims and let all the air out to pull into the garage with the hardtop on.
I need ideas for how to rebuild. I plan to mostly drive around town on the weekends and go on one wheeling trip per year.
