Remco Driveshaft Install On Toyota Tacoma

Eric:

We have a double cab SR5 4x4. Fabulous vehicle. However they are a
litle heavy at 4300 lbs. The cable comes in on the hump right beside
the driver. I find that if you connect the disconnect a few seconds
after start up the idle has slowed down juts the right amount for a
quick coupling. It takes a little practice. Remco used sheet metal
screws to attach the cable to the floor. I would have attached the
cable to the reinforced parts of the floor. I had to fix mine twice.
Blue Ox recommends a reciprocating saw to cut the front crossmember. I
had to grind mine afterwards and the brackets still would not fit. I
did not have a torch to heat them up and could not bend them by hand.
Finally used the "fork ears" on our 6 yard waste bin . Hooked one end
of the bracket in the ear and bent it outward. Did the same for the
other side. After clamping the bracket to the frame I used a huge c -
clamp to draw the bracket tight to the frame. I figure Blue Ox was out
by 3/8 of an inch!! Many Blue Ox installations require you to butcher
the vehicle. The truck tows really well. Good Luck
