Wow... I'm envious and admire anyone's ability to get into a transmission.  :beerchug:

It looks like you have got it done and I guess saved lots of money not having to pay someone to do it.

It's definitely a bit intimidating, but once I got into it, it was pretty straight forward. Overall, it was a pretty simple fix. Certainly less involved than building a set of dual cases from the ground up. Gave me a bit of confidence to tackle the NWF eco crawler for my double cab.

The Turd survived another trip to JV. Short of a few driveline bolts that came loose, it was an issue free trip. With that being said, this thing is up for sale. Need free up some space and time to focus on the double cab build. If anyone one is looking for a 1 ton raisin to wheel, let me know. Should have an actual ad up in the classifieds this weekend.

Some recent photos for reference.

Somewhat old news now, but the Turd has been sold and is currently living life up in Bend, Oregon. He is planning to wheel it while building another rig. Frees up some space in the garage/ driveway for the Tacoma build as well as my other projects I don't have time for.

the update everyone was waiting for... TB is back in my possession. McLean did most of my to do list while she was under his care. Putting together a list of thing I would like to modify/ update. Flopped her on the driver side about 15 minutes into the first trail, to start the process of getting the doors to match the rest of the patina.
