PREPARING TO PULL THE MOTOR | TOYOTA TACOMA TRUGGY BUILD
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- I am getting ready to pull the motor out of this 2005 Toyota Tacoma. I am building this truck, or whats going to be left of the original truck into a truggy.
Fully frame fabrication, new transfer case, one ton axles, 42' tires, 4 links front and rear. It's going to be intense and this is only the beginning!!!
If you guys are enjoying the content, let me know by liking the video and subscribing for more content!!! I also love to read your comments!

I love the fact that Branden gets paid to hang out with his best friend. Yes, y’all work hard but it doesn’t feel like work when you get to do it with your bestie ❤
I watch Nomadic Movement as well as Trent and Allie, so I hope there isn't something like what happened to them when they were paying a friend on the land to work for them and it all went bad and friendships were lost.
Trent, here are just a few of my thoughts after reading all the comments.
1. My wife and I have binged watched all the T&A videos after first seeing you on Wild Wonderful Off Grid, we are retired, and we enjoy wholesome content for our entertainment, and we have a lot of time on our hands.
2. What a great blessing it is to have all the hard work you and Allie put into your TH-cam channel to make enough funds to be able to pay your way and also hire your best friend to help you build your dreams and have a blast doing it. By the way Brandon is awesome and you two work well together.
3. Lighting is just fine and no need to take a boatload of pictures, just play back you video's and reverse the process.
4. I don't mind you talking thru the projects, that's a big reason why your other channel is such a big success, the interaction between you and Allie. Now it's guy time, in a garage, you and Bradon can clown around all you want, longer videos would be just fine. It'll be great.
5. Last but not least, just keep doing what you're doing. Trent, look at all you've accomplished in 35 years of life, a beautiful family, traveled the world, built vans and a great home with your own hands, a new business to provide for your family, you're living the dream that most will never have the opportunity to live. Thank God for these blessings and I'd like to thank you and Allie for letting us be part of your life's journey.
Thanks David! This comment made me grin from ear to ear
Totally agree
Hey David, Welcome to the world of T&A. JSYK: Allie not only makes great videos she works her old office job remotely 😊
I’m a 70 yr old Retired Quantum Physicist who adores this family. My husband is a Retired Electrical Engineer and he loves how industrious Trent is!!!
We’re hoping Allie starts making YT Shorts❤
Namaskar Dear Ones:)):)):))
Oh, this got me emotional because I share your sentiments. It's just amazing watching how hard Trent works, thinks outside the box, and is not afraid to fail. He corrects things when they go wrong. He has a beautiful wife, his partner, and a good friend (Brandon) working alongside him. He is a family man who loves his mom, his grandparents, his in-laws, and his sisters. There are not so many Trents out there, and my tears are with awe because of the impression he leaves on me. Has anyone noticed when his beautiful, kind-hearted wife complements him? He always says thank you. It may be a simple thing, but he'll always say thank you. 👏
I say thank you for visiting my house via your videos on both channels. God bless you abundantly. 🙏 Love from the United Kingdom ❤.
@@Trents.garage Trent, my son is 21 and if he accomplishes half of what you've done when he hits 35, I'll be one proud Papa. I'm proud of my son's accomplishments but you are taking it to a new level.
I bet Trent's Garage is a much nicer place to work now that Dean has been there to adjust the heater.
You’re so right!!!
Another awesome step forward, lighting was better Trent. You are making amazing progress already!
Wow! Awesome progress!!! It’s cool watching you make so much progress. Been a Trent and Allie fan since before the pandemic and always happy to support what you two (and Brandon do). Thanks for putting out great content and opening up your lives to us. 👍 💜
Oh, and the lighting is definitely better!
It might not be a bad idea to strap your frame to the arms of your lift, It's a small effort to avoid the catastrophe of the entire truck falling off the left
Yes I saw that happen in another video... not their video but just saw it last week
Trent, I admire what you do, it looks so complicated yet you go ahead and do it.
Protecting your hands was a good idea.
Best wishes from Mike.
Great job filming Brandon. 👍🎥 What a great friend to have him. This frees up Allie! The lighting is perfect!
So glad Brandon was there to film. He did an awesome job! I am guessing this was when Allie took a well-deserved day off to go skiing with her friends. The lighting was perfect. And by the way, it is amazing to me that you even know where to start with all this. Kudos to you for being so skilled and having the drive to tackle such a big project like removing an engine!
SUGGESTION: I don’t know if you can do it, BUT before dismantle anything, TAKE A PICTURE of what you’re working on. Then later on you can see where things were to help you rebuild.
I do it sometimes. Maybe it would help you?
Good 👍 Luck on everything!!! Love watching your videos.
LOL I'd say videos are better than pictures :) Trent does make it look easy...
The whole time Trent is worrying about how he will remember how to put stuff back together - I’m thinking … just watch the video and see what you did there. Hopefully Ali is saving all this footage securely so that it won’t be recorded over.😂
Trent … the internal struggle is real … do I take the engine out or not ….. I don’t wanna ……. But I’m going too anyway 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I argue with myself every time I do a big project like that too it’s awesome 😂👍🏻👍🏻
Your doing great , it’s nice to watch whatever you do , and I usually just tape the connector ends with blue tape on all my wires as well as writing in sharpie ,the side it’s on and what the connector goes too because who knows with a project how long it will be till you get to hook it up again 🤷🏼♂️
It helps a bit..
Tag everything......Love your content. Tas from New Zealand. (I know im late tot he vid)
Your the “miracle motor man “🚗Trent the MAN💯my daughter and I race Miatas in California love Japanese automotive engineering !
I consider myself a pretty handy guy Trent, But you put me to shame. Seems like you can do a little bit of everything!! Great job!!
Hey Trent, I did this same job for a friend, to a point. I was repairing the rusted frame on an 05 Taco. I managed to have it stripped down to the frame and axles in about 8-10 hours. I found out that it wasn't necessary to remove the fenders. I lifted the bed, then lifted the cab and front end as one unit. That made lifting the engine, transmission and transfer case as one. Took a little longer to put it all back together.
When you take something apart off your truck take a picture of it on your phone and you can always refer back to it if you need to that way you won't forget where things go. Just a suggestion !!
Love build videos and your ideas for this monster truggy seem like they're gonna be pretty awesome. Can't wait to see it when it's done.
Just kinda of curious why you bought the wrecked truck if you are rebuilding everything for your Crawler?? Would it been easier to just buy a used motor & go from there? Just not sure what you will use other than the motor? Great Channel Trent..Will give you credit that you tear into anything, auto or home projects & have the confidence that you will figure it out, good for you..fear stops a lot of good projects but confidence promotes a lot of visions..My wife of almost 47 yrs watch your T&A channel & now I follow your Garage channel..Retirement for us both gives us time to watch what we enjoy..Stay safe & be well.. Just my $0.02, Ken in AZ🌵
It’s a project that wasn’t fully thought through and plenty of things will change from here on out
labelling them cables and hoses as you pull would help i suppose? off course yo do have the vids as a fallback too ..
Did you ever think of labelling all the parts that you pulled off and where they go to?!!
Trent? LOL
he is so stubborn ,would be too easy to do
If you know the parts you don't need to, but I write the socket wrench size on a sticker and place on the parts. Saves a lot of time putting things back together.
Great job Brandon on the filming AND showing more of your personality! I love that you are slooooowly warming up to commenting and being on video. I think at some point you will feel really comfortable with it all and finally let it all hang out and at that point, I think you will surprise yourself with how well everyone responds and how great it makes you feel! Great episode Trent and I Love what you are doing with your truggy project and leading it more about you and Brandon and your friendship while still having Ally involved. We are SO here for it!
I think my favorite part of this channel is that it's not some super shop with half a million in tools. No CNC machines and benders, notchers, shears, all hydraulic. And I know it really is your house and garage. Actually, my favorite part is that you have to move stuff out of the way to work. Just like 99% of the rest of us trying to fab.
Hopefully I’ll have a half million in tools one day haha!!!
I am addicted to buying new tools 🙃
You’re talking to much dude. Just take the truck apart!!
Lighting is great, very even with few shadows.
I’ve learned a lot about cars by watching this series
Agree that the best direction is to pull the motor. Brandon is like the best friend ever, let me know if he’s got spare time for another friend I need help with my truck too! 😂 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lighting is much better, actually is great! Trent, I have no doubt you will get all the parts back together again. If Trent can’t do it, no one can! Lol
And it's an Engine, motors are electric! LOL
Hey trent
All the wiring and hoses have been in place a long time.. the heat cycles have heat formed it all that
position. So going back together will be easyer than you think. I've been doing this for 45 years..
You got this.. have fun.
I’m relying on this haha
Leave everything plugged in on motor and follow main harness through the firewall and unplug from inside cab and pull harness out into the bay.
I should have down this!!!
Good evening Trent, if interested, I have a garage organization video you might be interested in. I did a video on my buddies channel. Hometown Acres and the video is titled, Simple Hacks For A More Organized Shop/Garage. It has over 1.3 million views now. You may get some ideas for your new garage. Hope you get a chance to view it.
Thanks ~Doug
Lighting was good, Nothing like working with 38 thousand people looking over your shoulder.
🙃
To offense to T&A, but Trent’s Garage is the highlight of my week. Solid wrenching time.
😎🤘🏼
Hey Trent, I just wanted to give you a tip about removing the engine. Then I remembered I don't know anything about repairing vehicles. Still enjoy the new content tho : ) Frank is my favorite TH-cam dog. Glad you have efficient heat in the garage now. Sure it'll be much more comfortable in there for him
Take pictures so you know where things go.
Does anyone else say 'Adios' at the end like I do..........
I turn the volume down because I get tired of so much instruction. I wanted to see some thing can get done but I fast forward through all the talking, and there was nothing else left but talking do some thing.
I do get a lot of talking in! Not so much workin. I gotta work on that
Trent this is a great start. I think this channel is going to take off
You and Allie are an awesome team. You are so lucky to have Brandon and the Mountain Made team. They’re all awesome.
Trent is nice and braid in there in the garage now Brandon is a bad ass
I see a collaboration with Chad's Fab in your future. LOL
I took no notice of the lighting which is a great sign. There is no issue there. I know how challenging it is dismantling complex components that the engineers sometimes overlook. They will build around previous mounting screws and take little notice of what that means if the day comes when it has to be dismantled. The way you know how to get at mounting screws and hanging brackets comes from experience. Things are getting exciting. Frame fabrication! The fun stuff.
Yes, the lighting is much better in this episode. Thank you for explaining the parts and how they work on the car/truck.
A MONTH ????? YOUR TOO CUTE ... Maybe by SEPT you will put is all back together .
LABELS..every whire connection and such..write a label..
to easy.
also it would help if you just learned the basics of a fuel injection system, map sensor and such..
ABS is usualy a stand alone system, so pretty easy to transfer or build back into anny car.
kinda baffled here,, don't know annything, just doing it..
sorry, not so enthusiastic about wat your doing there........🤫🤔
Hey Brother Trent. You should bring your bro Brandon into this channel and go 50/50 with him on payment! He’s a true friend to you! My dad said if you made one friend in life you’ve accomplished something! Anyways I support you 💯! ❤️
Take the Truggy to Baja when you get it finished.
Would be so cool.
Lighting is Great, especially if youve ever watched any auto/truck rebuild/repair videos.
Where is the Trent's Garage and Recovery Merch? You need a hat with stars and stripes.
Well this was short, but hey the video was focused without jabbering distractions..... 10,000 thumbs up people.
Definitely tie the frame to the lift. Measure for clearance / protection for oil pan transfer case, tranny before you cut off clip. Plan to possibly cut out floor pan for transfer case, driveshaft? Rack or steering box? Layout the new chassis and all the pick up points with motor pulled. Tack all of the new chassis together and move suspension up and down (w/out coil overs) check all clearance with wheels turned right and left etc) in the event that you need to make structural adjustments with new tube frame. Fox coil overs have a ton of travel as you guys know.
You guys are awesome, I’m enjoying every upload. Oh, and the lighting is better.
Looks like a blast!
K so without asking sneak up to the house and grab Allies nail polish ...at least 4 colors...the brighter the better( sorry Allie girl) use each color like a compass for example green 1 dot at Noryh 2 at south 3at east.etc... dont laugh this works... use it to line up/ re-attach everything - motors, trany's, points, gaskets, alternator... yada yada 😉 👍✌️we used chalk too but it wipes off too easy... take Allie down for an ice cream and a trip to Ulta or whatever store has all the nail stuff...lol
🛻Aww, another great video and you are definitely right about don’t get angry don’t get frustrated enjoy your time this is your fun project. Your family has protection with the beautiful house that you feel they have food to eat they have love. Now give yourself some time to love on something you like. Enjoy your time with Brandon and enjoy all the viewers and all of their participation which will homely help your truck Be even better. Who knew I would be watching Trents Garage lol
Pop the door off Trent.
I also have an 05 project. More than likely will just end up as a mountain (property) truck. Runs and drives, can’t register.
Trent, Chad's Fab is a super off-road wiring guru and You Tuber who is located in Utah. He could step in and/or advise when the time comes. Look him up. No worries!
That was fun, time for a beer!
Haven't a clue as to what he's doing, how to work on cars at all.... I'm in charge of taking our cars to the dealership for oil change and checkup. My Volvo dealership is incredible, we''ve purchased 6 cars in the last 15 years they send me home and pick me up by uber. I'm watching just to watch Trent & Brandon do their thing. So happy now they have heat to do it in. Cheers Hope all of Trent & Allie's families are all doing well.
Also if you get stuck at any point there's a few TH-camrs that I watch there in Utah. They have rock crawler stuff. "Matt's off road recovery" "Fab rats" "trail mater" there's a few more.....
Oh. By the way..
You were so right about getting out early from mechanics.. i hate working on cars. I'm 64 but love working on my own 68 c20 p.u.
I am retired and in mid seventies, growing older, while back my wife introduced me to your Trent & Ally channel and enjoy it much. Not going to introduce her to Garage channel as I know it will not be for her. I like stuff being pulled apart and rebuilt. I also like Branden because he waits in the background and then when he see's the opportunity he helps where most needed. BTW if I was young, handsome, rich and humorous ... I would of invited Ally on a van trip before you.
Just curious if when the weather gets better, is Joel interested in learning about cars?
Yea he is!
Trent, I like the running commentary. Knowing what's running through your mind adds to the video. As far as lighting, the general lighting is great. Whenever you are underneath the truck or working "Under the hood" you need supplemental lighting, either small pods or head lamps. Most camera's will attempt to adjust for lighting but if there are dark areas, below bright areas, they can't adjust for both at the same time.
My hubby loves this channel! I like Trent and Allie better, but at least this makes him happy. He used to build jeeps and quarter mile cars. Good luck Trent! we love you guys!
when dealing with wiring... painters tape and a sharpie are your best friend. You should have chosen an older truck without everything computer controlled. While the engine is out, its a good idea to replace every seal and gasket..... .always cut before you disconnect the fuel lines.
Edit: If you are pulling the cab, set the frame down on blocks and use 2 2x12 through the windows and raise it with the lift arms
Trent when you start getting worked up and stressed working on the truck just stop, grab a cup of coffee, sit back and just look at it. 😁 Lighting is better for the most part, still darker when by the driver side of the truck.
Ok I’ll work on that
Nah just sell the engine and buy a Cummins diesel for it Trent.
Those Tacoma motors don't have enough power for what your wanting to do with the truck.
It will have a hard time just rolling the tires over to get moving haha.
Maybe add some rubber bands and squirls to give that yota motor a boost LOL
Ok supercharger.nevermind the rubberbands and squirls unless that's what your considering your supercharger haha
Great video!! Noticed you don't have any safety equipment visible e.g. eye wash, first aid box or fire extinguisher. Maybe you have not had time to get them yet but worth considering for the type of work you are undertaking. Keep up the great work.
Although its been a while since doing what your attempt to do is... there are very few wires necessary to run the engine. Find the schematic that points you in this direction and then its going to be a ton easier to make the modifications. Of course with the madness of swapping everything to LS engines, there are tons of those. Your best source of information is another channel who specializes in this vehicle/engine. One of the very most important pieces of your puzzle is to NOT TAKE ANYTHING to the scrap yard till you have this engine/body in a running status. Some of the most crazy little brackets and parts that only apply to this rig are in that mess.... also destroyed in most wrecking yards to make it possible for someone else to use in their application. Why try to reinvent the wheel, they already did all of this for you. Its time to sort out what is or is not important, again, till running, how will you know whats what. Just judging from how much metal is bent/destroyed in the primary accident, tells me you have no simple fix ahead of you.
Lighting looks fine to me 👍
Plugs like the one you showed us can be protected by... you ready, plastic baggies. sneak up to the house and "borrow" some out of Allie's kitchen.
Hey Trent, good suggestion from "MLJ Shell" take a pic of the wiring, as to the computer connector tape or zip tie a sandwich bag over it.
I am enjoying this truck build, or demo first. I am glad Brandon is helping you out. Great stuff ! Thank you !
In the future buy various colors of Nail polish, bright and colorful shades are best. You can find them at garage/yard sales.
Mark your wire and vacuum hoses with the nail polishes. Then to reconnect simply match the color.
To late for this project but there will be others.
Your Lighting looks fine to me Trent. I've been able to see everything OK. Enjoying your channel from Tennessee.
Fantastic job Trent. Your door trick was very smooth.
😂LOLLOLLOL😂
It just blows my mind Trent that you can do everything. My hubby who I love deeply, can't even change a light blub. 🤣🤣
The lighting seemed fine to me. It looks like you and Brandon are having more fun with mechanics than house building. Glad you're taking time to do a fun project!
the lighting is MUCH better :) God bless you for doing all that .... whew ! I agree with the person who just said ... take a pic of everything before you take it apart so you can put it back in the same order ... good luck !
You keep calling it " Frankentruck". Once it's built you should use Eddie Van Halens paint scheme he used on his Frankenstrat!
Brings me back in time when guys were always tearing apart vehicles to make them into zombie apocalypse, bad ass things that they eventually sunk in a lake while driving on March ice or got so mired in mud that they are still sitting in the woods/swamp somewhere. Yep... The good old days. The lighting was good today!
Looking good !
I will make a cpl comments about the videos from a car guy’s perspective…..when you are explaining things you can explain it while working on it or explain what you will be doing next while still working on it.
Maybe on your other show stopping to explain and making it into a story is important but I think if you are into cars you don’t need a story as much ?
What you think isn’t film worthy for your other show is what ppl that are into cars want to see…
Either way I can’t wait to see the next episode and look forward to seeing the progress !
Hello great channel! I would put some duck tape or something to cover the sharp edges that you cut. I have done vechicle extracation for being a firefighter/medic. Don't want you to get hurt.
Lighting much better Trent! X's & O's for Allie and Leo and a high five for Brandon!
lighting is better, works well. for safety, before pulling engine you may want to place a few rachet straps/ straps from frame to lift arms for a little support/ counter balance. great video and the project is coming along. remember building this truggy is for enjoyment not a job that must be done in a short time period. if it becomes a chore step back and give it some time. then the enjoyment desire will come back and have fun building the project. remember it is the experience and enjoyment you receive building the project for the fun it will provide. take your time and be safe
Thanks for the reminder Danny!!! You’re so right! This isn’t a job! It’s a fun project 😎🤘🏼
watch a few FabRat videos, your lighting is insufficient. Otherwise cool!
I liked the video, I had no idea whet you were all talking about, even when you would have translated it in my mothertongue, Dutch, I would not have understood. But nice picture/ video settings and nice music.
Electricians , when they need to keep wires that they take lose identifiable to put back in the same place use tape to wrap around the wire purchase in electrical department and if you have more wires double each color gives you 12 wires or triple each color and get 18. If cutting wires to be reconnected put tape on both sides of the cut. Works with hoses too.
Got to be careful calling the back wall a "Firewall". Ford lost a big lawsuit over that term. It's called a Cowl, as it will not stop an engine fire. Lighting looks great.
Excited for your build. We have an off road car. Glamis and Ocotillo Wells, California.
You said you were building a rock crawler/ monster truck. Is it your intention that it be street legal as well? If not no point in saving that harness as a purely off road vehicle will not need all that crap and you could just remove the harness then put back only what you need, building it out of the existing. Being a purely off-roading truck you are going to have to touch every square inch of it so you should probably dismantle it completely. Take longer but well worth it for the fabrication you are going to have to do. Your frame will need to be boxed in if you want it to hold up to crawling and there will be a lot of tubing as well. Just saying...
Hey Trent, when you have the engine out, you should definately do some upgrades on the engine. As you might know, working on an engine is a lot easier when the engine is out.
And no i dont mean a rebuild, i just mean minor upgrades now that you have the space to work on it.
BTW i love your videos on both channels, say "hi" to Allie 😁
I know squat diddly about cars…but for some reason watching one be dismantled is quite engaging 👍🏻
Trent... your lighting for video is darn good, except when your underneath in the shadows...
You have a lot of light it is bright .🙃🎈🤩🥰🤗😉😉😉😉😉😉
Trent hi....an out of the box idea....TH-camr Alex of Legit Street Cars may have an idea re what to do with that plug/connector. It might be worth a shot to reach out to him.
I have no idea what you’re talking about but your charming enthusiasm is infectious. I just know I label all my electronic wires with tape so I know what they are when I have to take things apart.
Lighting is fine! Check this guy out. youtube.com/@RainmanRaysRepairs he’s the Mcguyver of cars as Trent is for building.😊🇨🇦
Ain’t she a pretty thing!!🤪 Lookin’ good. Every little step gets you one step closer to fun times in the desert climbing rocks.
As a daughter to a mechanic, I believe you are already ahead of the game with the engine lift. No reason to use a pulley from the joists above you. Whew...
Thanks for asking. Lights were good till you went under the truck. Need a big florescent low to shine up or something. Doing great though.
Trent, nothing a good ground and plasma cutter can't open. I would have just burned it off, since it won't be used again anyway.
Take photos of the engine bay or parts as you dismantle them. It might be helpful when you are putting them back into the car. Thanks for the videos.
I think once you insulate and add drywall this will give you more reflective light. Definitely need a brighter light for under truck work.
Pull the motor but take pictures as you disconnect everything so you can put it back together. I do this when I am working on a quilt project.
