Someone wanted a picture of my hunting rig

THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME.

It's Got the original 4 cylinder I think it's a 1.6L??

I need to find another transmission for it so I can get this transmission rebuilt
I would love to find a complete one for parts but they seem to be very hard to find around here

What year model is it? Might have a line on one.

Very cool. Thanks for posting this.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. LOL
OP, nice rig!

That's a cool rig!

Did you remove the wheel stud on the rear axle to save a little weight?

Wonder if there are bell housing adapters you can swap a different 5 speed into it? Since the transfer case is divorced, that makes it easier not worrying about the coupling at the tail shaft.

If you're going to do all that, you might as well just do a high inertia fly wheel swap, change the rear main seal as a preventive maintenance, put a new transmission in it and replace the T case main shaft for preventive maintenance as well.

The way I see it, at that point, you might as well regear the thing, and change the t case gear ratio as well. At that price; might as well gotten a Tacoma. Haha
