Topic: Build your own crawler

[apimpdad]

i have searched everywhere but am unable to find any info for what i need.  i am looking to install a dual t-case setup in my tundra, and i am looking into building it myself.  i know i need the mc-09 adapter, but im not sure on which Transmission to Gear Drive T/case Adapter i need.  also, what year/type of t-case would i need to look for to do this.  i know everything has to be 23 spline, but i dont know where to go from here.  i have an auto transmission and a stock chain drive t-case. thanks

[THK Matt]

you need a 5speed tranny i think.

[apimpdad [OP]]

well i have seen another tundra owner use an auto transmission with his dual setup, there just isnt that much info on it

tyhere is a therad around here possible called customer support or something where marlin drove to where a member broke down on the trail and fixed their truck on site..... if i can find that thread, it will probably have the build info in it..... stand by

you will need to contact the guys at the shop cause theres  just not that much info on the Tundra swap yet

in one of the threads i found, there was a page dedicated to it, but it has since been abducted by aliens.....

[apimpdad [OP]]

also if i have to, i will run a manual transfer case like joe had on his tundra

[THK Matt]

id run a manual case myself.
then you know its engaged and what its in.

[GregBennett]

Inchworm has the adapter you need in stock.

[apimpdad [OP]]

Inchworm has the adapter you need in stock.

i would like to get a marlin crawler setup though

[apimpdad [OP]]

anyone else?  what manual t-case would i need?  i know it would have to be from a 95-05 but exactly which one should i be looking for?

[THK Matt]

one probably behind the 2.7

[apimpdad [OP]]

but i always see them with auto disconnect diff and with diff lock? does any of this matter?

[THK Matt]

thats on the axle itself. not the tcase.

[apimpdad [OP]]

thats on the axle itself. not the tcase.

i know that, but i thought there would be a reason for that to be on the listings for the t-cases

[Redbeard1]

You could use the t-case out of a auto tranny FJ.

[THK Matt]

i know that, but i thought there would be a reason for that to be on the listings for the t-cases

that shouldnt matter.
