i used the quad drilled flange that inchworm sells and my taco cv's bolt pattern worked

you have a v6 right? i have the 2.7 and im pretty sure the bolt patterns are different.
thats why im asking iv found some that will work with the v6 but not the 4

measure your bolt patttern hole center to center as an X and ill see if itll fit on the flanges ive got??

Talk to Jim at Inchworm, this should bolt right up.

i just dropped in an inchworm built t-case with quad drilled flanges in to my taco 4 banger. bolt patterns work fine

you need the front output from a cv front shaft from an older p/u. Thats what i had to use with the Tacoma rear shaft and gear drive case.

i called marlin and he said the turbo flange would work to so i bought it but when i tried bolting it up it didnt work.

Booger Weldz · 07-20-2008, 08:17 PM

sorry, i was gone at we rock all weekend, i can measure that for you tomorrow morning

Using front t-case flanges or turbo flanges works for the older CV joints (IFS/straight axle front CV's), but the newer rear CV's bolt pattern in tacos and 4runners is even bigger. I think the one Inchworm sells works for all of them, but give him a call to make sure.

I just used my old shafts in my new runner, so I didn't have to worry about the flanges, but I did notice the original one was bigger and wouldn't bolt up.
