I just replaced a g54 transmission in a 4x4 it isn't very fun working on the ground under the truck. It all went okay besides the 35 years worth of grease, oil and dirt build up. Lol
Great video. I have a 5 speed as well. Do you just need the taco box or are there other parts needed to mate all this together? Do you have a parts list? I’ve been reading up on the forums, but some of the information is confusing.
genisis53 sorry for the late reply, thanks for checking out the channel. The wheels are a cheap wheel from National Tire and Wheel, I believe the brand is MB if I remember correctly, I picked them up used.
I have looked at your video carefully and studied the pictures on the Marlin Crawler website and am wondering how you keep oil from running out the front and back shafts of the Taco Box. Are there any gaskets or seals between the transfer case and taco box or transmission and taco box? Looks like a lot of open bearings in the pictures which mean oil leaks. Did you use sealer between the various components?
ENGINEER125 it not explained very well by MC and I guess I failed to explain it as well, partly because I didn’t originally address it. Yes you need to silicone both ends of the TB, I have since the install developed a leak and need to separate everything and seal it up. Good catch and thanks for bringing it up.
Thanks for checking out the video. The main T-case is all stock, the Taco Box is the Ultimate, means it has the 4.1s. I love the setup, the gearing in the Taco Box is all I will ever need in this application 👍.
Hey thanks for sharing. Did the tacobox cause any difference in daily driving it. I just installed a used set into my 1998 Tacoma and i have a vibration that I can’t find now but I feel it’s from the transfercases. Pinion angles are great so I don’t think it’s that
Lance Cowen no difference at all with drive ability, I have a slight vibration as well but I’m pretty sure mine is driveshaft related, the old 4runner has always had vibrations so I just kinda ignore it, I also don’t drive it a lot.
palaciosivan100 when I swapped in the 5 speed I swapped to a J shift case, I retained the push button shift knob because that is how I control the axle disconnect.
palaciosivan100 I’ll have to do a little research on that, I got the trans and T-case as a unit out of a first gen Tacoma and have honestly never looked into it.
