Bro, please know I live vicariously through you. Another great vid
Best comment... pinned!
Yeah I been binge watching his videos, he’s awesome because he responds and helps his subs!
Good improvement, I have a 4 leaf springs, 2 rigid axles 91' Hilux but I changed the engine to a Nissan TD27T diesel with transmission and transfer. Do to that the Nissan transfer goes at the left side front, I installed the Toyota transfer at the end of the Nissan transfer and use the Nissan FWD shaft to move a 18.000 [lbs] Land Cruiser mechanic Winch. Finally I have a Super Low Transmission of 125:1 and can use the Nissan Low range the same way as you. My best Off road vehicle was my 81' CJ7 in which I separate both axles in 2 shifters, one for RH N RL and the second for FH N FL, theoretically you can "Park" the vehicle putting RH and FL. I had too a 4 speed Nissan Patrol transmission and a Super Low build with the 1st and 3rd gear from a Chevrolet Suburban 3 speed transmission, installed in a self made box between the Patrol transmission and the CJ7 transfer. Was not easy to drive having 4 shifters but, was able to rotate the Jeep to the side from the front part, the same as you with the rear part. I use it a fee times
2:35 that drone shot quality is amazing
Hahaha
Nice setup for that twin stick...happy offroading from offroader....its really usefull to have that option..saving time while need to slide in tight curved...subs to your channel..
When do we get to see triple sticks?
So many projects to tackle before I'm there... But everybody interested go check out this video: czcams.com/video/wxk8KduTH5Y/video.html That guy seems to know his stuff on these trucks
With a Merlin double reduction box you can have a 3 stick set up.
❤️ she looks like my 84 4runner,these things are tanks!!!!
Yes, practically indestructible!
The Toyota Hilux is a miracle!
honestly really cool, good video
I have the option of 2 low with a single transfercase shifter. Just put a kill switch on the hub wires. Switch off, low gets 2 low. Switch on, low gets 4 low. Easy.
I guess that works too. But no that easy if it has manual hubs tho
Which one did you buy and what transmission transfercase setup do you have? It would be helpful to see a picture without the shifter cover on. I been wanting to do this mod but get mixed information.
My truck has G series trans and forward shift transfer case.
If you got to explain that people need to start driving automatics and don't worry about it
Awesome video really cool to see 🤙
I know this is an older video, but from what I can tell I have a forward shift in my truck (87 4x4 G52 trans). According to Trail gear I would need to either modify my transmission shifter or get a short throw shifter to not cause interference between the sticks. Any input?
I’m not running dual cases. All factory for now .
I can't say for sure, as this was installed when I purchased the truck. My trans is original G52 or G54 and the shifter appears to be stock and there are no interference issues with this setup.
@@6thGearGarage thanks! Maybe I’ll get lucky
Im glad i didnt go with a toyota twincase i did an atlas to the original toyota case
Where do you think the best place to purchase a new dashboard for a 92 sr5 pickup would be. The front blue dash is cracked in multiple places but the interior is otherwise perfect. I don’t feel confident fixing it myself and would much rather purchase and replace the dash itself.
To my knowledge, the only place you're going to find a crack free dash is on the used market... ebay, FB, Craigslist etc. The one from my 89 was cracked pretty bad as well.
@@6thGearGarage I have been looking at a coverlay dash cover. Any knowledge on them?
@@dailangoodman1541 I've never used one, but after trying to wrap a dash pad I would greatly consider one. I did get some comments in the dash repair video about the dash covers not being great quality and looking better in photos than in real life.
Check out @yodagang_
For all great used Toyota parts!
Do you just leave it in neutral if you want 2wd? Or is there an engage/disengage button/switch for 4wd?
Nm maybe I answered my own question… it should be set to H2?
Yeah H2 = 2wd. Everything is mechanical/manual on this truck, so no buttons or switches for 4wd. I'll have to do a video on my 94 Land Cruiser sometime to show the difference. It has full time 4wd and a center diff lock switch instead of a 4wd button.
I'm confused, You said the twin stick is only available for manual transmission trucks. The twin stick goes on the transfer case, so why couldn't I use one on my 2015 Tacoma with an automatic? I'm installing a Marlin crawler dual case next week and don't want to order a twin stick from Trail Gear if I can't use it. Thanks!
I read that on the manufacturer website awhile back. I’m not sure if that applies to the newer trucks. I would ask them before purchasing.
@@6thGearGarage Thanks for the response. I've read all the application charts and the transmission type isn't listed anywhere so I'm good to go. I can't wait to hit Moab with the dual cases!.Happy wheeling sir!
When is there going to be a review on the 1980?
I was hoping to get started on it by now. Had to take a break from the garage & YT for a while to get some work done & pay some bills. Also the 88 Legend has been giving me a headache... shoulda parted that damn car out and been done with it by now lol.
@@6thGearGarage 😂 Lol good old Honda Headaches, sounds good 6th Gear.👍💪
@@yotakid I do love an old Honda but this one is loaded with electronics and some parts are getting hard to find because it's kind of uncommon.
@@6thGearGarage Yeah I get it, it’s good old tech, this thing is gonna look nice when it’s done. Just takes time.
I don't know how I got here I was looking for Jeep video, but grate video can anyone tell me if I can do this to a JK 3.6.Now to subscribe 👍🇦🇺
Know is your twin sticks on the transmission or on the transfer case
This truck has G-series trans with fwd shifting transfer, so they're on transmission. The W series transmission trucks have the top shift transfers.
Hi! Do you have video about differential locker for this car?
Hey I do not, but I will create a video soon for you, explaining and showing how they work.
Wouldn’t shifting into 4 low without the hubs being locked also be considered 2 low? Or is this bad for the t case?
That's a good question I would like to know as well. I use to do that in my 94 pathfinder that I had converted from auto hubs to manual hubs. Put the auto hubs back on because my manual hubs messed up. Bearings shot I believe. Mind you I bought cheap $60 ebay hubs which I strongly believe failed just from poor cheap quality but maybe having put my truck in 4lo without locking the hubs had something to do with the hub failure. Regardless my t-case still works fine, my auto hubs still engage and my 4wd system still functions properly.
Both 85 4runner and 94 pickup I ran 4 low without locking the hubs all the time. The 94 hauled 3500 lbs of scrap I beams for weeks to the yard. Tailgate looked like a taco but drivetrain never cared
Yes you could do that, you’ll still be turning the front driveshaft and axles but it won’t hurt anything. The only downfall is having to hop out and turn the hubs every time.
@@6thGearGarage that's pretty much what I figured. I enjoyed having the manual hubs on my wd21. Gonna go with warn this time. I still want to take the ebay hubs apart to see exactly what happened. They still locked and unlocked fine. Just had a real bad wheel bearing noise. Replaced wheel bearings, noise continued. Put my auto hubs problem solved.
Hi , what gear do I put the big shifter (daily on road) when I’m in 4wd mode? Do I leave it in 1st or do I shift with it too? I’m still confused
The big shifter is still for shifting gears, so you would use it just like normal.
@@6thGearGarage thanks!
Subbed!
Is that twin stick on a single case set up I’m contemplating doing that with the trail gear forward shift kit
Yes it is, forward shift
Where can you buy the twin stick . Clicked on the link and it says unavaible
Jb customs is the place to get the twin stick or triple if thats what you need
Twin stick isnt just a Toyota thing and you can do it with an Automatic trans. its a transfer case mod not a trans mod
@@bluebicon1 on frontrangeoffroadfab.com/twin-stick/ it says Q: Will the Twin-Stick fit my vehicle?
A: It fits the transfer cases found behind the 4 cylinder motors, pre-Tacoma. There is not one available for the automatic tranny/t-case combinations.
Just checked and both links have them for me, but you can get them at a lot of different retailers.
@@6thGearGarage thanks alot mate. I really appreciate your help and clips. You have helped me out alot. I love your clips and you have helped me alot building up my 1st gen 4 runner
I have Toyota 4Runner First generation 1989. I am going to buy differential gear lockers but I do not know where buy it. Could you please recommend good makers?
Are you looking to have selectable lockers or full time?
Yes, I am looking for selectable locker.
I have seen electrical locker. To fix it need to buy new differential gear.
I liked Twin Stick Shifter. I want to order it. Very useful thing if know how use it.
@@user-nh8ls4vw2y I have an ARB Air Locker in my truck.
I contacted trail gear and they told me I was able to pair this with a th350 for my sbc swap? 🤔
Hmmmm I'm not the smartest man in the world... but I don't know what the hell they're talking about
@@6thGearGarage this may be a dumb question but what would prevent it from not working?
@@justintinault6018 I think it depends on if your truck has top shift or forward shift and the adapter design to determine if it would work or not. But I can't speak from experience here, as I've never chevy swapped a Yota.
@@6thGearGarage I see. It’s a top shift with an advance adapter so I am going to put it together with fingers crossed
Where i can get this twin shifter
I put some links in the description 👍

Hi Do you need some great lighting upgrade for free for your car to help you better driving, off-road and adventure.We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 yrs and we're looking for sponsorship!
Hi, Yes I am looking to upgrade lighting on my other Toyota, 1994 Land Cruiser. I would be glad to create a video showing installation and before/after comparison of your lights vs. the OEM halogen lights. What is the best way to contact you?
