5" is going to be high as hell. Ditch the body lift.
Couple recommendations.
Get a TG front Driveshaft. Dont dink with a square one. They suck.
I just installed my 4.70 gear. Fantastic mod. Much more control.
Upgrade your birfields immediately
Or youll end up like me:

toyotanick

haha that gotta suck. i plan on upgrading sooon but as for the body lift, i know it will be tall but this is allso my daily driver and i want to be able to clear 40's and not have to worry about rubbing no matter what i hit!

i have a 1980 toyota trailblazer to keep low and badass haha. my truck will hit trails everynow and then like i stated before but its mostly mud that it seas because unfortunatelly i have to drive really far to find something to climb! haha i have ridden and driven a 5" trailgear kit with 3"body and it performed just fine. actually it was still awesome haha so im not to worried about it.

as for the 4.7gear did it do anything to you daily driverness? like that gear only comes into play when your in 4 right?

while you are under there, upgrade to V-6 Calipers and vented LC rotors...my truck stops so much better.

as far as the lift...keep it low and trim

oh and the 1st Gen 3/4 ton sticker is genuine

edit: on the trail gear rear conversion are you using a Line locker for the E-brake or are you going to go with a Sky's or All Pro TC mounted e-brake?

toyotanick

for the rear disc's i just keep it in gear.its flat around here haha dont really have to worry about it. i also found a thread that used your stock park break cable and routed back through the firewall to pull on your brake pedal. you just have to wire a relay that disconects the break lights when this is pulled. very simple stuff

The 4.70 gear replaces the 2.28 4-Low gear on the transfer case. 2hi and 4hi are still 1:1 in the case.

toyotanick

o ok. it will give me an even lower low? like, i will barely be moving haha

rusche

Basically. Final drive ratio in mine with 5.29s and 37s and 4.70 in Reverse is 101.69:1.
Nice and low!

toyotanick

holy crap. so mine will be the same. thats gonna be nice. is it difficult to do? i mean i am pretty sure i can handle it, i just finished a dual transfercase setup in my big crawler. that was interesting. but how long did it take you and how much did it cost?

rusche

Tg has them on sale right now. $249 instead of $349.
Took me a day. Very straightforward. Hardest part is lifting the Tcase back into a lifted rig by yourself.

camo31_10.50

dude...you'll be able to run more that 40's on this rig with 8" of lift all together lmao.

if you're on the highway alot then you could prolly run 46's lol

i'm soooo in love with this truck though lol

rusche

Say goodbye to your birfs. And output shafts with 46s. Lol

toyotanick

edfinatellyn not going bigger than 40's

toyotanick

i have a pretty large questin for you guys.
when i pulled my engine the ECU wires had been cut. today i went to solder the wire together but quickly realised that i have 3 out of 4 plugs on my harness. the harness i have has 3 sets of plug wires and the ecu has 4 plugs on it. does n e one know what each of these plugs do?




also, since i was not able to do my soldering because advanced or autozone did not have the size heat shrink that i needed, i did my crossover instead!















oh and i was not able to finish welding it up because i had to bring a friend home. he failed to mention when i went to pick him up that he had plans arounf 5... bulll!
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

camo31_10.50

very nice..

and i'd be looking for a MANUAL ECU and wiring harness for your 3.4

it'll make your life SOOOOOO MUCH EASIER

toyotanick

ive been looking on ebay and cant find one. the automatic transmission ecu should sill work fine right? there will just be alot more things that i wont use. right?

toyotanick

AAAAAHHHHHHHH my kit came in today! that parts are soooo danm pretty!!!!!

i wanna say thanks to wabfab! i did take a long time to get it but owell its awesome! hahaha

ill take better pictures of my header and a few other things like my shop and surrounding tomorrow for you all.

camo31_10.50

well yes the auto tranny ECU will work...but i've heard it's just an absolute pain in the rear to make it work..

and actually, i'm not even sure if it WILL work.

keep browsing for a manual ECU...check out the junkyards?

toyotanick

no, i havent but im sure i need to. i probably will this weekend.

camo31_10.50

there ya go!

any manual 4wd 3.4 ECU and wiring will work (as long as it's from the same era of 3.4)

i don't believe the 95.5-99 and 2000< are the same....

toyotanick

this sucks. now that i have my kit, school starts so i basically have no time! and over the past few days i havent had time to even touch my projects. i have no idea what to do with my engine because my toyota machanic is no where to be found, and my engine sounds like its about to blow up. oh and i havent even touched my axle since the kit arrived
