I'm just spitballing an idea here, but with the toyota 8" rear being semi-float the weight on the wheels may push the axle shafts downward into the splines of the differential spiders, taking up some slack.
On a full-float axle this won't be the case.
Possible?
Hopefully collecting a big check for the 2nd time my LX has been totalled (good thing there's no such thing as a double-salvage title) 
Then onward to the pile of turbo parts cluttering up my garage.
Then onward to the pile of turbo parts cluttering up my garage.Yea it was a process to get it home but I've had it for a week now and I've already dumped a metric ton into it haha. My hopes are to see this thing run and stay in one piece for many years to come. This is why I tried to start with one of the cleanest examples I could find and I believe this to be the cleanest I've ever come across. I'm extremely happy to have her in the stable.

The rig had a salvage title when I bought it due to a front end fender bender. Truck was totaled even though the damage was very minor because a rusty high-mileage LX is apparently not worth much to your average insurance adjuster. Fast forward a few years and some jackass backed into me recently then fled the scene. Cops found him and after 45 days of insurance hell, it's "totalled" again and I'm getting a $2600 check to compensate me for my loss (which was more than the repair estimate, which still has my head turning--why not just pay me the repair bid amount?).
I have been holding off on my turbo project until I figured out how all this insurance baloney was going to pan out. The truck is fine, just bent up the front bumper a little bit.
Best of luck. That sucks.
Replaced this junk with new oem.
Might be the placebo effect but the engine seems to be running smoother.

Is that an RV sewer hose?
Looks like some kind of cheap kit the PO got from eBay or something. When I went to take it off the hose portion pulled right out of the rubber ends. That was supposed to be the intake tube.
Seeing those yellow springs a few posts above made me think about mine.
Is this OK for a OME stock height setup? They seem to be too compressed.

That makes sense. Mine is a semi floating axle, though. It's a 1991. Not sure if it makes a difference, but it has a Detroit locker in it too.
