We Have 4WD Back In The Diesel Flatbed Yota!!

[@tylerschimke9952]

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I would torque in a star pattern (even displacement) ... I was taught to do that on anything and everything.... just a thought - the trucks are coming together very nicely, awesome job man 👍🏼👌🏻 imma buy a shirt or two

[@docbrown303]

You NEED to torque everything in a star pattern. Or in the sequence they recommend.

[@tylerschimke9952]

@@docbrown303 yep

[@buildadventure404]

Hey Did you do the IFS hubs on the front? Cant Remember, but if not it will widen the front to match the 89+ rear and you can ditch the spacers! It would make a great video if you didn't. If You did I am curious how long those front wheel bearings will last with the spacer + IFS hubs and the offset on the wheels your running, especially if you plan on wheeling it.

[@TheKajunkat]

Thanks for showing the bearing pre load procedure. I have been doing it wrong!

[@philgriswold2133]

Always nice to see any part of a Toyota p/u torn down and put back together. I always pick up a tip somewhere.

[@bailey7067]

IFS hub swap makes getting into the axle so much easier. Also get to upgrade to Tacoma brakes

[@stevebrackenridge9778]

Love your builds keep up the good work! I’ve got a old 94 single cab yota I’m thinking about doing

[@GrizzlyPath]

I don’t know how I missed that the red truck was 4WD, I always thought it was 2WD. This is sick to get installed finally!

Giving torque specs on a build is very good and nice.

[@ianadkins6056]

Go the the manifold of a 22R or 3VZE and grab one of the vacuum ports. Same thread as the diff breather. Then run a 5/16 line up into engine bay and add a small fuel filter and you have a great extended breather. Also check out using IFS hubs to widen the front diff and get rid of the spacers. Tacoma rotors and calipers as well for a brake upgrade.

[@Nilezy]

I’d use fish tank brass airaters instead of fuel filters at the end of the breather

[@jimmadonna1436]

Yes!!! I've been really looking forward to this. I remembered that today is Avery 's 9th birthday!

[@jaybats7865]

You’re just amazing! So much knowledge and great abilities, keep the vids coming, awesome!

[@SOLDADITO76]

Are you not planning to drive your rig off road? Me and my rig have one main thing in common, we both have been in the suck. And at times deep in it. The state of the brake rotors, it doesn’t seem like you drive it anyways. You could do a V6 hub and brake conversion so the rotor will just slid off, and would be able to get rid of the 2” spacers. Looking at the choice of rims you shouldn’t have clearance issues. I ran 1” spacers for the longest time because of back spacing issues, but have addressed that issue and no longer run spacers.

[@jcl1201]

This truck is a show piece of his craftsmanship as a custom fabricator and details .. nothing about this truck has been left undone..I would say that his other raptor lined truck will see the off-road use where pin stripping it with branches won’t matter .. I could see Austin building a few trucks a year for people he definitely has the talent to do it..👍

For the bearing axle nut, its not a preload cause you need to have 0,001 to 0,005 inch of Play between the 2 bearing on your Rocket axle

[@mickfreeburn9181]

Yet again Austin great job I wouldn’t take it out on freshly salted road, hard to think your in middle of winter an it’s summer here on central coast nsw Australia thanks from your Aussie friends

I found an old toyota pickup by my inlaws house. It's mid 80's to 90. I left an offer for it. I don't even care the condition mechanically. The body is in good shape and there didn't look like a lot of rust. Fingers crossed

I would put a high vent hose on the axle breather to help keep water and junk out of your axle.

Tundras, 4Runners, Tacos. Yotas are still great bro. To each his own, but if it wasn’t for the unreliability of current domestic vehicles I wouldn’t of never became interested in any recent gen Yotas. Witch eventually let me into wanting/owning older models like the 1st & 3rd Gen 4Rs. But I Grew up hating imports, step dad worked at Ford here in Canada. They used to send all the employees home with stacks of bumper stickers that said “do you like your job? Keep buying foreign!”

[@IG8282-q9h]

I feel sad for posting this, but there doesn't need to be an apostrophe in Toyotas on the shirt. Using an apostrophe implies a possessive, Toyotas would have been fine. Hope you didn't print too many of them.

[@wrmathis2]

should extend the breather up higher to help keep water and other crap out of it

[@Nilezy]

Also Austin, the breather is a one way valve, allows for expansion inside the diff so you don’t push oil out the seals when it expands from heat working hard when 4wding. If you put extended breathers up high with ‘fish tank’ airaters the diff can expand and contract without water getting sucked back into the oil and dust or dirt getting into the oil

[@realaussiemale567]

Extend them all to the firewall of the engine bay, that’s where I put mine in my Nissan.
