Remco Driveshaft Install On Toyota Tacoma

[Eric Johnson]

Hi Bruce,
Remco sent me a new driveshaft and I plan to keep the old one for the same
reason you
did. The Toyota is a 2005 like yours, which was the first year of the current
model. I note
the same warning about dimensional tolerances in Blue Ox literature. Sounds
like that
part of the conversion is going to be fun. I agree with your assessment of Blue
Ox
excuses.

What model Tacoma do you have? Standard cab, access cab or double cab? Where
did
Remco drill through the body pan to feed the actuator cable into the cab? What
procedure
do you use to disconnect/reconnect the driveshaft? Did you have to adjust the
idle speed
to prevent excessive gear clash when reconnecting?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
