[Cheesemaker]

Can we get more info on the LC front axle widths? Mike has up to 85 and then starts back up at 90!  Is there any difference in axles between them?  This is the post to have all the details!

[Destruct O]

Does any body have the dimensions for the 98-00 Tacoma's frame?

I thought this was important to have in here:

the top of the factory IFS front crossmember is the same as the top of the frame, where an 85's front cross member sites 1.46" higher than the frame

Reference: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=599542

Also for reference, my shackle bolt hole through the frame is the exact same height as my front spring hanger bolt hole.

Diff Breathers:
The tap size for toyota diff breathers is 1/8" NPT, 27 Thread per inch.

I found that 1/8"BSP fits, I used a 1/8"BSP male to 1/4" NPT female fitting to run my diff breather hose.

The Jeep/Dodge AX15 5-speed, the Jeep NV3550 5-speed and the 87-92 Toyota Supra Turbo R154 5-speed all share the same case to bellhousing bolt pattern. As such there are a number of possibilities that can be had when a 5-speed is desired:

94-95 Dakota 2.5L bellhousing: Connects R154 to any K car based 2.2L-2.5L L4 in a RWD application.

94-99 Dakota 3.9L V6 Bellhousing: Connects R154 to any 3.9L V6 and any 273/318/340/360 V8.

96-99 Dakota 2.5L bellhousing: Connects R154 to any Jeep 2.5L L4. Because of it's GM inherited bolt pattern, also works with any Buick FWD V6 and supercharged V6, any Chevrolet 2.8/3.1/3.4 V6, any Cadillac 4.1/4.5/4.9 V8 and with a minor modification, any Olds Aurora DOHC V8 and Cadillac DOHC Northstar V8.

88-99 Jeep 4.0L L6 bellhousing: Connects R154 to any AMC 290/304/343/360/390/401 V8 and any 72 and later 232 L6 and 258 L6.

01-03 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 bellhousing: Connects R154 to any 3.7L V6, 4.7L V8 and 5.7L Hemi V8.

R154 Ratio's 1st 3.30:1 2nd 1.95:1 3rd 1.34:1 4th 1.00:1 5th 0.75:1 Rev 3.20:1

The R154 is a particularly robust transmission. It shares it's design with the AX15 but is built to a different spec. Not in the Tremec class, but better than a T5. It would work well in certain applications. The deciding factor to use something like this would probably be cost. Good used R154's can be had for about $300 and bellhousing for about $50. Converting to a hydraulic clutch would add a bit more expense but still, nowhere near the price of a Tremec. So, if you've got a 318 2 barrel in your daily driver, this might be for you. It should be pointed out that Australians LOVE these gearboxes for V8 conversions.

So, this is what CAN be done with stock, boneyard parts. Enjoy.

Part III

NOTE: Input shafts lengths vary.

Pre 1995 R150R151 = 6.5" 1996 up Toyota R series = 7.5" AX15 = 7.875" 87-92 Turbo Supra R154 = 7.25" AR5 = 8.2" MA5 = 8.2" NV3550 = 7.875" NV1500 = 8.6" AX5 = 7.5" Toyota W series = 6.5" Toyota G series = 6.5"

Pic 2 Advance Adapters makes an extra long pilot bearing when using a slightly shorter input shaft tranny with a bellhousing that had a longer one. Obviously you can't put the longer input shaft trans into a Toyota bell that had a shorter one. (Unless a spacer is used or the input shaft is swapped. See below.)

The transmissons and bellhousings can be split up into two categories. SHORT SHAFTSHORT BELL and LONG SHAFTLONG BELL. They cannot be easily mixed without modifications.

All AX15's, AR5's, MA5's, NV3550's, R154's and Toyota R150's (built after 1996) are LONG SHAFTLONG BELL. To use one of these in a SHORT SHAFTSHORT BELL application requires a 1" spacer available from Japanese Auto in Toledo, OH ( http://www.japaneseauto.com/ ), Dellow Automotive or Castlemaine Rod Shop in Australia. Of course, any bellhousing combo one can think of is also available from them...

http://www.dellowauto.com.au/catalog...Automotive.pdf

http://www.rodshop.com.au/

ALL Toyota R150's and R151's built before 1996 are SHORT SHAFTSHORT BELL. These CANNOT be used in a LONG SHAFTLONG BELL application or with LONG SHAFTLONG BELL adapter plates.

Pic 3: Example of a LONG SHAFT transmission hooked up to a SHORT BELL with a Dellow Automotive spacer

The Jeep AX5's 7.5" input shaft does not allow it to be used with the Toyota G and W series bellhousings unless a spacer is fabricated OR the input shaft is swapped between them. (Apparently the short 6.5" G series Toyota input shaft can be made to work in an AX5 case and vice versa). The one exception is shown below.

The Jeep NV1500 has the longest input shaft of the group at 8.6".

I've seen the thread above regarding T-case lenghts, but does anyone perhaps have some info on the gear driven T-case heights?  I've got only 1/2" between my 1980 T-cases and the floor, and was wondering if the newer style topshift cases have the same dimentions.  Thanks

[twistedtoy92]

wow this is a good thread!!!

Some dry weights for 1st, 2nd and third gen trucks would be nice!

Great topic saves a guy a lot of time looking this stuff up every time.

Anybody have an overall cab width at the rear for a 2nd gen?

[Duffil]

Anybody have an overall cab width at the rear for a 2nd gen?

you too lazy to walk outside?

sixty-three point five inches.

[MiniSimp]

you too lazy to walk outside?

sixty-three point five inches.

I have a custom narrowed cab (narrowed by squeeze rock) my cab measures 60" wide.

[Cheesemaker]

Mine is 64.25" at the widest spot on the back of cab.  That is not including the molding. 

And the third gen is 1.5" wider than the 2nd gen.  Don't ask me know I know!! 

[MiniSimp]

And the third gen is 1.5" wider than the 2nd gen.  Don't ask me know I know!! 

Now I've gotta ask....how?

It adds 3/4" on each side!
