Manchetaco Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 My 88 Comanche short bed. Had the 2.5 renix it took a crap. So I threw in a 5vzfe out a 98 Tacoma driver side drop transfer with asin auto. Dodge rear end out a 03 Dodge Ram. Disk brake rear. Stock Dana up front. Sitting on 35s tons of welding to be redone and actually not just mocking $#!& up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchetaco Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Mini Beast what do you wanna know I actually got a complete plan drawn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 i was inferring you current build sheet specs as i see in the pics different points of build progress. so wanted to know if running currently, how has it been working, any issues you had to address, what type of fab skills did it take to install this drive train setup, any specifics on suspension mods. I enjoy reading and learning of how others have built their rigs and how they went about it. your setup isn't factory so I'm interested in learning of some of the challenges you had to undertake for this setup.

Manchetaco Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 It’s all been kinda straight forward actually. I was surprised that if I took factory Toyota motor mounts and a 1/4 inch plate welded to the frame the motor set in nicely. It’s moved forward so the trans and diff would line up kinda with original floor holes to limit cutting floor board hence reason rad will be in the rear with Electric fans. Other than that the motor fits in the engine like the 4.0 just higher bc Tacoma’s have taller engine bays. And to clear the axle with the oil pan. And i think it will look hella with a Trd super charger mated up in that hole lol That’s why it’s our builds right think out side the box. I could go on for days about what it has taken though bc there is a lot of wires now and I’m trying to use the original dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. It’s taken forever lmao. Like I told Jesse it was some 1.5 tubing from a pipe real. And some flat stock and a nut with 1” eye bolt welded solid with some 7018. I think before I wed the exhaust or intake I’m getting a mig/tig welder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planned it that way lol. The look is aggressive and the motor is snappy and quick on the throttle response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
