Stock Yota Axels with 39.5s and 5.29s
Hopefully gonna be getting an 84 tomorrow and just thinkin about what I'm gonna be doing to it. I've got these 15/39.5x16.5x15 super swamper boggers hanging around, and a set of 6" old man emu springs, so I think once I remove the bed, and boat tail the front, I'll be able to clear em no problemo.
Just worried about the strength of these yota axles. Most my experience are with jeeps swapped over to DanaR60F/80R full width 1ton axels, not these 1/4-1/2ton yota axles. How do they hold up?
And I was thinking about throwing some 5.29s in there, but not too sure if that 22r will spin that much meat. Should I go 5.71s instead? Dunno, just lookin for thoughts here people!

So birfields the only thing that needs beefing up? Some nice cryo'ed (overkill or justified?) chromoly bir's and I'm set? Seem to remember that you supply some nice ones 
What about the gears? 5.29s be dandy, or should I grab hold of some 5.71s?

You need some Longfields...chromo birfs and axles for that kind of rubber. You will also be fine with 4.88 gears IMO for a trail rig. I have 39.5s and 4.88s in a 5 spd 22RE and it does just fine.

Your gonna break 5 minuets in without at least Longs (as I think the bigger axles may be in order soon. Longs will hold perfectly to the abuse of 39's. Be sure to get the inner hub gears so you have the full warranty which is lifetime
You need to upgrade to longs to do this

Those are 37's? They look gigantic on your runner! Shoot, I may just trade these 39.5s for some 37s...
Dunno, thinkin hard about swappin in some 44fronts and 14bolt rears... I dunno. Figured I'd just bomb the stock axles till I nade it then build it bigger! Gives me a little time to save up some more money from my beer drinking funds...

if you lighten up your truck enough and dont give it any power you might be OK on snow and mud...
like take the bed off, chop the cab, take out anything you dont need, like bumpers and what not, etc...
and then dont gear it to the moon
hahaha
or do what they said

Oh yeah, bed is gonna be toast by about 8:00pm tonight if all goes well today. A good portion of frame from cab back eventually too (tubular 4-link). And a couple pounds of sheet metal from boat tailing the front.
I think I'm just gonna pop in a set of cheap ass 5.29s, gernade the axles, then upgrade to some full width chevy's or some dana60s...

Well, first I'd have to save for them, then find them, the R&R them, then gear them, then install them, then have drive shafts made for them. I want to do some carnage as soon as possible.

And actually, I've got a line on someone selling 4 36 iroks with 50% tread for $100. Think I might pick em and run those a while first.
Now I'm having to wait till either tomorrow or wensday to get the dern truck... Found out you can only take $400 out of the ATM at once per day. Grrrr....
