INCLUDES CHROMOLY REAR OUTPUT AND QUADFLANGES!

Want low transfer case gears in your Tacoma, 4Runner, or FJ Cruiser without all the extra modifications? Inchworm Gear has the solution!

Anyone who has been wheelin' with Toyota pickups and 4Runners very much is familiar with the proven reliablilty and versatility of the gear driven Toyota transfer cases from the 80s and 90s Toyotas. These cases hold up well to abuse and have a variety of aftermarket options available to them.

Unfortunately, when Toyota introduced the Tacoma in '95 they switched from using the gear driven case with the front drivehaft on the right hand side of the vehicle to a chain driven case with the front driveshaft on the left hand side. This all but eliminated the options for gearing in the transfer case. Until now!

Inchworm Gear is pleased to announce the availabilty of "Lefty" our new Left Hand Drop Gear Driven Transfer Case.

Lefty is shown (on the right) next to his right handed cousin. In this pic the Inchworm Tacoma Tansmission Adapter has been bolted to the front in preparation for installation into a '98 Tacoma.

Based on the well proven gear driven Toyota transfer case of the 80s and early 90s, Lefty is a gear driven transfer case with the front output on the left hand side. All the goodies that are available to the earlier trucks are now avilable to the newer ones - Including low range gear sets, heavy duty output shafts, etc. Lefty will even work with the original Inchworm Double Transfer Case Adapter if you want double cases.

Combined with our Tacoma Transmission adapter, Lefty bolts right into a stock 95+ Tacoma, 4runner, or FJ Cruiser * in a few hours with no driveline or crossmember modifications. Some shifter and wiring modifications are necessary.

* Some 6 speed FJ Cruisers may need the front driveline shortened about 1 inch.

If you look closely at Lefty (on the left in this pic) you can see that there is no need for clocking adapters. Lefty has the clocking built right into the housing. This gives the bennefits of high clearance without even changing the shifter angle. Looking back to the previous picture you can see that it wouldn't take much to get a totally flat belly with Lefty.

Lefty will be especially usefull for 4Runner and FJ Cruiser owners where there isn't enough room to install double cases without modifying the fuel tank.

Lefty also will be useful in earlier (pre '95) trucks to allow the use of left hand front differentials such as a High Pinion Dana 60.

Lefty is built with a 23 spline 4.7:1 low range gearset and your choice of stock or twin stick configuration. Lefty comes with a chromoly rear output shaft and Quadflanges included.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

-Lefty is not synchronized like the stock Tacoma/4Runner/FJ Cruiser part time 4wd transfer case is. This means that part time 4wd vehicles will need to come to a stop before shifting into 4wd. However, the ADD (automatic differential disconnect) can be wired to an independant switch and can be locked ahead of time (think of it as locking your hubs) so that 4wd can be engaged while moving. Contact Inchworm Gear for more details.

-Lefty is a part time 4wd transfer case. Full time 4wd vehicles (like the manual FJ Cruiser) will become part time 4wd with the Lefty installed. Because there is no front axle disconnect or add on full time front ends, these vehicles can be shifted into 4wd while moving.

-Lefty is in stock at this time. We can usually ship your Lefty within a few days.
