TDI Diesel 1.9L Swapped Toyota Gets New Axle Seals And A Rear Locker! Time To Play In The Snow!

After putting off a leaking rear axle seal way too long, it was time to get it fixed, and throw in al locker while I had it apart! Perfect timing for fresh snow to test it out as well!

Yup i run a dana 60 8 lug on my tdi ranger.

Nice!

[@danielkingery2894]

Fun deal all around.😊

[@TDISwaps]

For sure man!

[@xcelrejects4413]

Love the Toyota build man makes me wanna swap mine so bad

[@TDISwaps]

It makes for a pretty sweet daily!

[@infernoking7504]

I bet if it had skinnier tires and was lowered a bit would get 3 or 4 more mpg.

[@TDISwaps]

Yeah but I can't go lower without rubbing the frame on these tall tires, gearing would probably be a better option then I could just run a smaller tire

[@TheMajictech]

Fattys on a light truck in the snow, results are typical. I have 33s on my locked Comanche going taller and skinnier soon. Chain that thing up 😊

[@TDISwaps]

Definitely!

[@JosephVE3GKT]

You got some pretty amazing vehicles man! Have you done any compound turbo setups? Been searching and searching but can't find too much. I bet compounds would be great in the chevy and they'd help you get some lower egt's and make it even better at towing. Not many videos about towing with a tdi swap other than the videos you've got!

[@TDISwaps]

Thanks man! I would love to mess with compounds, I just haven't had the time to mess with it just for the time involved and wanting to build the engines to handle more boost. I hope to start experimenting with compounds on my next build though!

I’m thinking about buying a 2002 jeep wrangle alh clean asap. curious to know if these are reliable as a daily? do they require as much maintaince as your regular jetta alh or is jeep more because of wright?

[@TDISwaps]

Ya jeep is definitely more maintenance, and it's not aerodynamic at all so fuel mileage is pretty bad for how small of a rig they are, but they are a blast to drive!

[@jdtisme9100]

What diff gears are in the Toyota? I have an 84 4Runner that I've been kind of thinking about a TDI swap.

[@TDISwaps]

I have 4.10s and 33 tires, it could be a little lower gearing for 1st but 5th on the highway is about perfect

[@lucidflicks]

In the process of getting my 93 toyota pickup swapped with a 1.9. Just curious where did you get your front bumper setup? Or is it custom made

[@TDISwaps]

Ya it's custom, and if I could do it over again I would get the intercooler built into it to get better airflow

[@lucidflicks]

@@TDISwaps sweet thanks for the info I’ll keep that in mind!

[@TDISwaps]

@lucidflicks no problem man!
