20221231_192949.jpgI made some Toyota 8"alignment pucks since im pretty sure every 8" front axle comes bent from the factory and mine was no exception. I forgot to account for a spring pass on my lathe so i had to weld and rebore them. 20221231_193448.jpg20221231_195211.jpg20221231_200452.jpg20221231_200801.jpgWay bent on the long side.20221231_201913.jpgNot too bad on short side20221231_201924.jpg20230101_132334.jpg20230101_132341.jpglong side after straightening. 20230101_132347.jpg

So this 4 runner came with a extra TRD e locker with 5.29 gears and I figured it was a good time to put it in. I noticed the pinion was loose so i went ahead and checked everything on it. 20230101_210036.jpggears are fun. . . 20230102_210416.jpg@BeepBeep20230102_210418.jpgI was gonna put it in the front since the rear had some unknown locker that seamed to work well. Well the e locker wouldn't fit with the pinion clocked up because the e locker motor would be into the leaf. This is a pic of a mock up e locker houseing i had laying around.20230103_201632.jpg 20230103_201637.jpgSo i gutted the rear axle and stuffed the e locker in it. The 4 runner came with 2 extra TRD housing but i felt it was easier to modify the ifs housing in it. The rear third ended up having a lockrite locker in it and i stuffed it in the front.20230106_214615.jpg20230106_215249.jpg20230107_185355.jpg20230107_185857.jpg20230107_190820.jpg

I modified the truck pan and installed it. Should be good for all the up travels now. 20230118_204902.jpg

I clamped it to my flat cast iron table with a .045 tig wire under it to preload the pan in the opposite way the weld would pull. We had problems with Alex's pan i did years ago that wasn't preloaded. His also had 3 times the weld in it. 20230118_212939.jpg
Dry cleaning pass i like to do with the tig torch to burn out the garbage that comes with castings followed by another wire wheel pass. I also preheated the pan with my small crack torch. 20230118_213713.jpg
