Does anyone know if there are adapters out to run an Atlas t-case behind my '96 Tacoma 2.7L, 5-speed :question:
I really need to get a t-case setup with much lower gears and dont think that the stock t-case w/ a Marlin crawler would be strong enough.
Anyone???
Thanks. :)

John Hall runs a Atlas behind his Tacoma tranny. Give AA a call.

y are you goin to run 60s with a 2.7? isnt that a bit overkill?

he has a klune in between

and why wouldn't the toy cases be strong enough for a 2.7 :confused:

Yeah, ive seen people run an Atlas case with the Klune inbetween. I would much rather just run the Atlas case alone.

I really dont think that the stock chain-driven Tacoma t-case is up to the torque multiplication of being run after the Marlin crawler. Do you??? I would think that the stock Taco case would be the weak link, with my D60s f/r and turning beadlocked 39" Boggers, and a heavy foot:p :D
I really just dont think the Marlin/ Tacoma case would last very long.:confused:
Any feelings on this??

OTT makes an adapter for the D300/Atlas to an early Toy gear reduction box. Taco trans-to-marlin adapter-to-early style Toy reduction case-to-OTT adapter-to-D300(bootyflipped) will be my setup.

I was wondering why not run an early toy case (or 2) not the tacoma case.

id say b/c the front output is on the wrong side

uhh AA make a adapter to put a atlas behind a tacoma tranny already.

P/N 50-5710

So this is an adapeter to run an ATLAS II directly behind my 2.7L, Tacoma 5-speed with nothing else??
:cool:
Thanks,

I know a couple of guys that are running the marlin setup with the stock chain T-case, 38 tires, 3.4 V-6 with out a problem. The Taco chain t-case is built a lot different the the old 3.0 chain t-case and it is a lot stronger. Does the 2.7 use the same t-case as the 3.4? I look at it this way, if Marlin feels it is strong enough, then it must be. But you do have the choice of the AA adapter and the Atlas, I have heard of a few Atlas going boom also!!!!:D

I have a dual marlin with 23 spline in my 84 with a 3.4 taco motor and it seems to hold up just fine. If I ever break anything I will drop an atlas II.

I dont know of anyone that has broken a taco chain driven T-case. It is a bit of concern to myself as well, I think im the one OOPs is refuring too.

Anyways if you dont already have your fromt 60 you could look at a chevy (pasenger side drop) 60 and use the older 4 cylender toyots T-case (Marlin also has an adapter to do this).

You also my want to look up Robert Cannon in Texas, he has the clune-v and atlas under his taco. I belive he was the one that got AA to make the adapter in the first place??? He has had it in there for quiet a few years! His web site, if you dont already know...

www.frankintaco.com

Personaly I am going to keep the stock chain driven T- case and find a ford H.P. 60 to use. That is after my two year old graduates college and moves out :flipoff2:


Let us know how it works out:beer:

Why not run a pass. drop axle and run dual toyota gear driven cases to avoid the chain case???

:flipoff2: Wazzup!!

I think you are on the right track with what you are doing. The rest of your rig is OverBuilt so why not go the full route?

If you remember, Jack busted up his Taco t-case so it's not "unlikely" that it may happen.

From what I gather, AA makes the adapter to run behind the tacoma 5spd.

Also, the folks that are putting 2.7's in their toys are running the taco bellhousing with the w56 tranny and toy cases. IF you don't already have your 60's??

If you need a W56 tranny, let me know or a Toy case and reduction half for that matter.

The Taco rear case's weak point is the the 23 spline input. There has been one breakage that I know of. Some guy, supercharged, fuel modded 3.4 with a 4.7 gearset, stock case, and 35. Climbing escalator. Starting slipping, and floored it. Truck went up, truck came down, boom. Popped the input. No other damage to the case. So, simple, dont freak and floor it, and pick up a spare input, and be done. Or have a stockinput cryod and put it in. Since youre only running a 2.7, and probably not that um, "eager" to climb something when it starts slipping, Id bet some $$ youll never pop the thing. Besides, spare inputs are easy to get, and very very cheap.

But yes, AA does make adapters to put the atlas into any taco.

Thanks,

I bagged the chain drive case and went with 2 gear driven cases. I too was worried about the strength of the chain drive and thought instead of woring I would just eliminate the worry.

That part # I believe is for the v6. When I was doing research on what cases to use I believe from talking to Rob at Advanced that the spline count was wrong. So there adapter would not work with the the w59. I wanted to run an atlas but thought it would be too much trouble.

The easiest way to get one in your truck is to call up Marlin and order a w59 to gear drive case adapter, then call up OTT and get there gear drive to D300 or Atlas adapter. Then get your atlas.

After all that you will probably be divorced if you are married and will then have plenty of time to put it all together.;)

Easy route do what I did and go all gear drive and go to all 23 spline and you should be ok. I have dual cases with 4.7 in the rear and 5.13's in the diffs with 38's and have wheeled my truck hard and it is still together.

By the way I too have a 2.7L

yes that adapter will put a atlas directly behind any tacoma tranny. auto or stick, I4 or V6

Yeah, I only heard it all from Marlin when we were getting our crawler figured out. I didnt want to post up his name, but now, YOU did!:D

And a hot setup that will be.

I run the stock Taco case with the MC09 and stock gears in the front case. I am only on 35s, but I have had no problems at 102:1...

Jon,
Whats up man!!!:flipoff2::D
Thanks for the offer on the Toy case and stuff, but i already have my Ford HP 60 up front (driverside diff), so... I definetly need to keep it driver-side output.
Later,
ps. we need to get togather sometime and hang out,
drink :beer: and wrench!:)
How's your rig doin?? havent seen it in forever.
Happy Holidays.

:bounce2::bounce: Sweet!!!:)
I guess I'll give Advance Adapters a call after the holiday.
Thanks;)
