Good reference for Toyota Drivetrain stuff

if you want to run it on the street in 4wd you should put in a selectable locker to avoid torque steer. If you don't care about being deathly scared in 4wd at higher speeds put in a lunch box locker.

oh, duh....

Those still look like stock fenders to me....

Thank you for the replies on how to rotate the knuckles on a housing. Kurt, your offer does sound tempting... However, my original question remains: What have you been doing with a stock housing to deal with the caster vs. pinion angle problem?

This is kind of a question that has been on my mind a little. So, I'll give a little background on what I know, if I'm wrong please correct me: 1. Caster and pinion angles are directly inverse related. pinion angle goes up, caster angle goes down. 2.It is more beneficial to have a high caster...

Put a side mirror on those doors and you're street legal!:D

SAWZALL time!

Just curious where you have found that stock birfs are as strong as a D60????:squint: 30 splines birfs are as strong as D60, but definitely not stock birfs.... btw, All longfield birfs are chromoly

If you have an auto locker in the front don't waste your money...You'll get axle twist at high speeds in 4wd. SCARY! So, since you won't ever go fast in 4wd, make yourself a squareshaft; cheep and beyond strong. I've taken my rig up to 45+ mph w/out driveshaft problems in 4wd.

subscribed...I want to know too!

Last year's first place winner in the pro-mod class of WEROCK ran stock rear toyota shafts. They ran 8.4 tundra 3rds though with 4.10 gears. Rear shafts are plenty strong for almost any application out there IMO, unless you have double cases, huge tires, an overpowered engine and a lead...

I've got an Aussie in the front(I think, might be the rear...) of my 88 toy crawler. I love it, no problems so far. Aussie's are nice b/c they unload under lighter loads when compared to a detroit, and IIRC from reading they are a little quieter. They are really easy to install too!

here's another one too...the spotter points left, but the driver goes right...:eek2: ouWJa6FC7-E

WOW, just wow:confused::sick: Nobody was getting personal here...Lighten up dude!

Driving back from Lil' Moab the other day I had some vehicle problems and could only do a top speed of 30 mph. I got pulled over twice. Cops were really nice, just wanted to make sure everything was ok. It would have been easy, easy, easy for them to give me a ticket (tires stick out, side...

IMO if you're daily driving your Toy connect those bars up pronto!!!! Brake dive is scary and really dangerous. Upgrade to x-over steering if you have at least 3" lift (min. needed for x-over on TOY)

x2 if you have a 22r in your '85. You can prolly tell, body styles are different...mods required.

Looks like your front springs are allot softer than your rears. I have personally found that TG rear-springs are designed for more weight than a P/U usually has. You might want to modify them so you flex the same fr/rr.
