Green Monster Build (1 Viewer)

This is Lee's 85 toyota pickup. We started with a stock truck other than a small lift and some 33" tars that was on it when we got it.

Then we gave the monster some sliders from TG.

I like it - Bring on more mini builds! Does it still have 4.10s in the diffs? I'm about to install a Spartan in a 4.88 diff and I've heard there may be cross-pin interference with the thicker gear set.

In for updates.

Yes it is still running the 4.10's for now. We have not installed it yet but plan to do it soon. I haven't heard of that tho here is a good write up. Davez Off Road Performance • View topic - Spartan locker install

Typically installers will grind the teeth directly in line with the shaft so you can install and remove the shaft as needed. My 5.29s were ground in this manner when it was supposed to go back into a SF housing, but it ended up in a FF that wasn't needed, but it made installing my Spartan super easy. Of course the original setup sucked so I ended up tearing it down and resetting the pre-load and backlash anyway.

Anyway, glad you've been able to get back in the shop and looking forward to following the build. How's the Taco these days?

OK well I will keep that in mind for future reference..

The Taco is limping around. It has a broken front diff and badly worn out front coilovers. Other than that it's good I have done a few things to it. I was gonna do a SAS but wound up getting a built rig. Lol. I do need some new coilovers and rebuild the diff in the Taco tho.
