so i dove intot the 3rd member today and found some strange things...1st off the ring gear had 37 teeth, and the pinion 9, whichs makes it 4:11s,odd knowing mostly all toyotas came with 4:10s...secondly it had a solid spacer not a crush sleeve. i didn't think toyota had solid spacers stock. also there was bearly ANY wear on any parts in the 3rd, as if 4wd was bearly ever used. and come to think of it when i 1st disasmebled the axle i remember there being a stock toyota 3rd gasket. any input

im good on a budget....really only run me about $800 or so without the price of the axle, so with the axle about $1,000.

i don't know what year your third is, but when i rebuilt one for my rear end i used one from an earlier truck(81 i think, it had 3.90s) and it had a factory solid spacer, cast iron lookin' thing.
i think crush sleeves came out later sometime?

i've seen a few others before, and i think they were all first gen trucks.
good thing you got one, i think crush sleeves are kind of a pain, especially if you muck one up.
what ratio did you say you were gonna run?

here's an update:
so i've been busy this past month or 2...between work(which gets very busy in new england winter time working at a body shop,pulling like 50hr weeks) and building my axle...anyways here's the progress

JB welded the knuckle balls smooth



took apart and re-built the hubs



got my gears and parts and set them up..the most part the gears done just gotta put a dial indicator on the them and check out the specs, once thats done i'll toruqe it all down and BAM!


i also have the high steer parts painted and readt for instaul(these pics were before they got painted, the soda can is for size realitivity)the high steer is very beefy


as of right now i just have to get then knuckle re-build and brake rotors, then the front axle will be done.so far it's looking like 3-4 months before the SAS goes down...can't wait!

Gear pattern on that 3rd is way too shallow from what I can see in that pic.

That is a broken pinion waiting to happen.

i haven't updated this in a while, the axle is alomost done...awaiting a re-build kit from marlin(in the mail should have it by wesnday)

but here's what i have left to get before the axle goes in:
-ford 57s for the rear
-frt spring hanger kit
-steering box mount
-shocks+shock hoops
-wheel spacers

once the axle is in i can focus on getting the rear done
-5:29 v6 gear set(yukons)
-instaul kit
-detriot locker
-solid spacer
-rear wheel bearings and seals
-rear diff armor
-shock tabs and shocks

then once the rear is done i can get my frt d-shaft set-up and test it all out...can't wait looking like 2 months before the SAS. and then another month or so after that before i get 4wd back

spent this past week getting my front springs made...it's a RUF pack made from 86+88 pick up springs.here they are mocked up. i'm painting them with POR15, putting them together, then paint them with rustolum.(painted them with rustoluem is key becuase POR15 should be topcaoted, not left bear.)



these are some really cool spring claps i found at a local spring shop(all they do is leaf and coils springs,and torsion bars). they call them "quick claps" they come in a varity of sizes and cost about $1 ea. to put them on all you do is c-clamp the spring pack put them together as shown and bend the tabs over.


now i just gotta order up some ploy bushings...

damn dude, i just read up through the whole thread and your doing a sick job. i was hoping you'd be done with the sas by the last page but i guess i'll have to wait. keep up the good work and attention to detail and your gonna have one of the most badass rigs on here. what are you doing for tires?
