OK I got some more things checked off the list last night after work finally.... I got started on my transfer case x-member finally... I made the ring to go around the back of the cases quite earlier in the build but have been undecided how I wanted to tie it into the frame.... well I figured out what I wanted to do with it and went to work on it.... got 1 side finished up so far but I need to

off the torsion bar mounts to make room for the other side... I think this will work out good and when all is finished up I will build a big plate belly pan for the whole undercarriage..... time for some pics!

got my longer bolts and got the case mount bolted to the rear case...

here is a shot of the 1 side of the tubing mounts I built for the cases

and you can see here it is pretty flat belly... hangs no more than an inch below frame at the lowest point (still no low profile drain plug in the rear case either)

Lookin good mine hangs down just about the same and yea low pro plug is a must.

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #302 on:** Sep 12, 2008, 10:03:51 AM »

ya for sure man that and a belly skid plate I feel is a must as well....

GJToyotabug · « **Reply #303 on:** Sep 12, 2008, 11:01:07 AM »

just skid plate the hole under side ha ha that would be sweet

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #304 on:** Sep 12, 2008, 11:26:56 AM »

thats the plan!

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #305 on:** Sep 13, 2008, 12:31:44 PM »

got the x-member all finished up finally... worked out just as planned

and got to work on the rear hoop for the roll cage too this one is going to work out much better I think

I will be posting more throughout the day as I work my

off on this thing

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #306 on:** Sep 13, 2008, 04:57:06 PM »

a few more of the cage coming together

THK Matt · « **Reply #307 on:** Sep 13, 2008, 05:40:57 PM »

that back hoop should be way tighter to the body..... IMO.

looks good though bro.

yes I agree but I am not quite a pro at bending tube yet to make 8+ bends in 1 tube without f-ing it all up.... the way my tubing bender is set-up at the moment (not my shop so I cant drill holes in the floor) it is extremely hard to make straight bends.... I will be re-working the upper section of the cage.... so for not it should protect me in the case of a good hard flop.... I am however disappointed in the way this exo looks......oh well

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #309 on:** Sep 13, 2008, 09:01:28 PM »

plus the rear hoop sticks out further on 1 side do to the cab bring smashed in.... I was going to fix the quarter that is smashed in but it will be a waste of time as soon as it hits the oregon trails its gettin hammered on anyway!

THK Matt · « **Reply #310 on:** Sep 13, 2008, 10:37:21 PM »

thanks for the kind words guys! I got some more done last night and I am going to the local wrecking yard in a few minuted to pick up the last couple parts I am waiting on to fire this thing up!

I still need to get my fuel tank mounted and run the wires for the fuel pump as well as have my custom fuel line made to go from the hard line up to the tank itself... hopefully I will be firing this thing tomorrow and wheelin it on our trip to browns camp next weekend!!! I will get some more pics up within a couple hours!

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #316 on:** Sep 18, 2008, 03:53:25 PM »

a couple more !

COToy91 · « **Reply #317 on:** Sep 18, 2008, 07:46:26 PM »

you should have welded the tcase cross member to plate and then to the frame, or at least gusset it. I doubt you would like it to bend or rip a hole in your frame

I am reattaching it to the frame on 1/4" angle iron and adding gussets to the top and bottom of the tubes this weekend thats already on my list... I gotta pull the tranny and t-cases anyway....thanks though bro

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #321 on:** Sep 22, 2008, 08:46:03 AM »

I also had to drop the tranny/t-cases back out this weekend to get my clutch installed which is always a pain in my

but with the help of a buddy and lots of cussing we got that done as well as added 1/4" plate behind the t-case crossmember....

toyotanner · « **Reply #322 on:** Sep 22, 2008, 09:23:47 AM »

I have a couple questions if anyone may know.... I am going to go ahead and use the stock wiring harness from the v6 thats in the truck but someone cut the harness in the engine bay before the fuse box and I need to know which wires in this harness need to have 12v. and which one needs grounded going up to the ignition switch..... also I was wondering if the color coding between the alternator on the v6 will be the same as the taco alternator.... there is a red, white and yellow wires going into the v6 alternator and the same 3 color wires going into the taco alternator.....

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #326 on:** Oct 05, 2008, 01:54:46 PM »

here are some pics of the wires i was talking about...

the wires that were chopped from the v6 engine bay fuse box...these I just need to know which one gets power and which one gets ground

the v6 alternator plug

taco alternator plug wires

if anyone has a v6 and can look at the positive battery terminal and tell me if the white/red wire from the engine bay fuse block goes to pos. and i have a feeling the solid white goes to ground but i am not sure

any help on this would be much appreciated I dont wanna hook it up backwards and smoke the harness...

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #327 on:** Oct 05, 2008, 06:40:49 PM »

OK so I did a bunch of testing on the stock harness and the wire is all sorts of corroded so I am gonna say to hell with it afterall and just build a new harness... I will get started tomorrow and post up some pics I have some things up my sleeve here!

THK Matt · « **Reply #328 on:** Oct 06, 2008, 06:29:33 AM »

a new harnes would be much better in the end Tim.

less chance of having messed up corroded wires.
this way, you know, that is right and all the wires are there.
should be cleaner too.

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #329 on:** Oct 07, 2008, 05:45:02 PM »

ok so it ends up I figured the stock wiring out I was just putting the wrong wires to power but now I got it figured out and everything works great... I have a couple wires that I will be replacing due to corrosion but thats easy stuff... just a couple that have been cut and sitting out in the weather but all the others seem to be in great shape.... I got windows put in and began putting the interior back together.... I will now be putting the dash back in since I dont have to mess with anymore wires under there.... I will snap some pics when I get access to a camera....Its getting much closer now and im getting excited
