There is nothing in it for me. I approached a group that seems to want our 5.14 gears and proffered a one for one swap. I got more than one interested party and I only have one to swap. Trying to help out, I decided I would post here and try to hook the other one or two interested parties up with people on the other end. I will simply pass on the contact info to the interested people and they take it from there.

Given the fact that there is now a rear disc brake kit available for the HO72 DRW trucks, I thought I would get attacked for a chance to get in on this.

Any interest? E-mail or PM me.

Ok guys, I started this thread, after I decided to work out a swap for my 5.14 chunk and get a 4.10. Well that kinda happened. I eventually just sold my gears and went to a 14 bolt with 4.10's. The whole thing caught on and before long I was helping others do it too. We managed to set up quite a few swaps and some people even bought and sold. Again, I got nothing out of it except a good feeling. Well, I am knee deep in my own truck and trying to find parts. The list of people has gotten to be quite a bit to manage, so I am bowing out. That being said, I am going to reveal the source of the 4.10's so you can persue it on your own still.

SO, if you still need to swap your 5.14's for 4.10's, just click over to this thread on the Pirate 4x4 page and let them know what you have and what you want. They are rock crawlers and hill clinbers and such and they want the low gears we want rid of.

So there it is. Secret revealed!!! This is also a pretty good place for anyone looking for a Toyota steering box for a power steering install. I found one.

It has been fun, but just too much to keep track of for me now. I need more time to drive Grigg crazy. LOL. Hope he reads this.

Thanks, and I will still watch the thread and respond if someone wants to ask me something.

I made a similar post over on Pirate 4x4, so they will know where to come if they are hunting 5.14's.
