The most exciting mod I have done this year is DUAL T-CASES. I used the Trail Gear R150 to gear drive case adapter, MC 08 Doubler, with 23 2.28 front and rear. The triple sticks are custom made using trail gear twin sticks.

To mount it I used the Trail Gear dual case crossmember / skidplate. Super beef! Brand new rear driveline from Pats, and my old square tube was actually to long, and worked perfect for the duals!

Ive seen some of your videos and never realized you had a build here. A lot of work done on that truck! I think the 3.4 swapped Toys of this generation are the best of everything.
Im curious if you have a review of your Elocker now that youve had it for a while.
I got tired of putting premium fuel in the Pickup, so I ripped out the supercharged 3.4 in favor of a V8. I landed on a 2UZ originally, it was practically free.
I stripped everything down, took inside of cab, fire wall and entire engine compartment down to bare metal where the fire damage was. Painted to colour match.

Now for the new motor! I decided since I bought everything for a 2UZ swap I should keep it in the engine family. So I found a 1UZ, honestly a better option anyways, lighter, period correct, and just looks better in general.
Next up was manual swap! The original plan was to keep the truck auto with 3.4 swap, and even bought and installed the Inchworm adapter and 4 cyl t-case. Problem was the wiring, for some reason that trans did not work in reverse, and just overall was not happy! Me, now being confident in my mechanical skills after successfully engine swapping, decided to give the manual swap a go.
The 3.4 auto trans next to my new fancy manual transmission!

Hello! Im having a swap done right now and ran into one issue that you seem to not have...so hoping you can help.
Vehicle is an 89 pickup auto 4x4 with 3.0
Donor was 2002 tundra 3.4 2x2 auto
ORS says that you want to use a T100 ECU to avoid issue, so that is what we did.
The mechanic did all the wiring, no ORS harness at all.
Everything is connected and working except 2 things...below is the message from the mechanic.
"Your model year happens to be a hydraulic controlled t-case, so those two last wires (S4 & ECT PWR) directly connects into the ECU..
S4 & PWR for ect is not present on t-100’s ECU so i’m stumped!"
So it drives and shifts fine, but wont go into 4th gear/ OD. AND...I guess the ECT things doesn't work...dont really care about that,
Any advice...how to get an auto transmission to shift into 4th gear?
