sar4x4 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Truetrac - is that an LSD unit ?'Google' it. Yes it is limited slip, bordering on full lockup, but due to it's design its in a league all it's own. I'd like one for a front axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I wasn't trying to be sarcastic! lol I wanted to gush about the TruTrac(sp). I've always liked the TrueTrac concept. It had disappeared for a while then came back.It is also used as a centre differential on at least one type of high-end AWD or race car or two!

Guest Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah, it is a gear driven lsd. No ratcheting/clicking/popping like a lunchbox locker and no clutches to wear out. I can't hear or feel it on the roads but it seems to work well in the snow and gravel. Obviously haven't had time to wheel with it yet for a true test but happy so far.

Lol LOL, you and me both! In person it clearly comes across that way (sarcastic). In type you can drop the "sarc" from the beginning and the "tic" from the end to leave the three 3 ***'s (A$$). I'm accused of this all the time and I have no concerns ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm welding them! Yikes! Any reason you're planning to weld vs. bolt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 My guess is they were built for another generation of tacomas so the mounting points are nowhere near where the mounting holes (OEM) are on his rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoMitch Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yikes! Any reason you're planning to weld vs. bolt? My guess is they were built for another generation of tacomas so the mounting points are nowhere near where the mounting holes (OEM) are on his rig They were originally welded to the other guys frame. I had to cut one support and take 12 inches out of them for them to work for my truck. Same generation Tacoma, just different body style. I'm welding them because I feel they will be stronger and easier for me to make/attach. I saved A LOT of money doing it this way rather than buying and shipping them from the states. I don't think Toyota will ever cover my frame anyway, and I never plan on letting it get to the point of failure. I need to chop part of my cab mount to make room for the tires. At some point I plan on fully boxing the frame, I'm not a fan of "C" channel frames! Plus.. I'm an industrial mechanic and weld almost on a daily basis, by no means am I an expert but I can hold my own ;) Tigging Stainless Arch steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 If you're ever bored, and feel like welding on a Jeep, I just might happen to know of one... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
