Since I have those same springs, I will get a photo posted to compare the driveshaft angle as well, keep in mind of course I have dual cases as well.

Mike, at least you wont have to worry about dragging it through and over the rocks as much as Brian has been doing lately! It will stay nice and shiny with all that clearance!

Tis merely a flesh wound. Maybe someday you'll bring your truck out again to drag over the rocks?

sschaefer3 · 04-22-2009, 02:02 PM

Maybe someday everyone will come wheeling again.

/dream sequence on

". . . hey Reynolds, how ya doing? Good seeing you out again. Hey Westfall, truck looks good. Hey Jon, you gonna show us what that IFS can do today? etc...etc...etc."

/dream sequence off

BLKNBLU · 05-24-2009, 10:58 PM

Yay! Finally got to bounce it around a bit today. All seems well except for the one rub area I already knew about. I didn't have a good feel for the truck like how much tippiness is too much etc. Looks like there will be a decent sized learning curve. And I really need to do the 4.7 gear...

I don't have action shots, maybe later after some e mail from the other participants. For now, here is the brochure photo.

toyospearo · 05-25-2009, 08:35 AM

Looks great!!!
Balanced out perfectly.
Nice work man!!
Get some action shots

Red Rover · 05-25-2009, 02:08 PM

Dude! Looking awesome Mike!

Thanks to my friend Jeff, I can now accomodate you.
Thanks Jeff!

I actually failed on this line due to steepness and loose surface. Hence, my need to move along on a lower T case gear.

Ssstrrrrretch...

Just for fun, me next to a couple stockish 4Runners.

toyospearo · 05-25-2009, 08:36 PM

SO COOL!!!
HOLY FLEX!
That Runner is so sweet. You must be stoked!!
Keep the pics comin!!

Why do you have a track bar on the rear axle? With leaf springs, isn't that kinda moot?

Most of the guys here have experienced pretty significant axle wrap with similar setups. I didn't try it without the trackbar so I can't personally attest to how it would be without, but Schaefer has built or fixed enough of these to know what it needs. I figured it was just as well to set it up right in the first place.

Hayes · 06-16-2009, 09:05 PM

interesting. I have never heard of that before.

Nope, not a moot point. With real flexy/soft leafs in the back, you tend to get axle wrap under load (climbing, hard acceleration, towing, etc.). The wheels will actually hop from the leafs wraping and the axle rotating. If you use lift blocks in the rear with leaf springs, it can amplify the issue also. A lot of times if you by a lift kit that uses rear blocks of a good size, they will include a traction bar.

I had the issue with the torque from the crawler box and steep climbs. You could see a definate improvement after the traction bar was installed.

Google 'axle wrap' and you can find more info than you could ever read.

BLKNBLU · 08-03-2009, 07:03 PM

Finally got around to taking care of this...

Went to see Steve for a trim and ended up with this.

So hopefully I'll get to squish the springs again soon and check it out. If only it wasn't a million degrees out...

sschaefer3 · 08-03-2009, 07:09 PM

I see a box on the back what is in it?

That would be some stealth bling.

Steve, for future reference it did not have a gasket included

sschaefer3 · 08-03-2009, 08:00 PM

That is the tranny seal on the tag.

lofreqjeff · 08-03-2009, 08:24 PM

So, when is that going in?

Let me know if you need a hand - I'd like to help!

wormhole · 08-03-2009, 08:55 PM

Nice, Mike.

I'll take you up on that. Probably be a couple weeks. The DD needs some attention first so I don't want to dig in just yet.

Yes 36146 is what you need.

BLKNBLU · 09-14-2009, 10:41 PM

Yay! The 4.7 is in without drama. Even though I had a helper (thanks Jeff), we both got so engrossed that no pics were taken. So all I've got is after pics i.e. clean t case and dirty tranny.

Next up is to check it all out on the trail next w/e.

i_love_tacos · 09-14-2009, 11:38 PM

niiiiiice. looks awesome!
