Im starting on my 98 4runner sas swap, ive done my 91 and my 86, but this has been the one ive always wanted to do. My question is i want to run an 85 toyota front axle, so where can i (if i can) get a adapter to run a 4cyl gear driven transfer case on the 3.4 automatic? I would like to put dual cases on it and i need it to drop down on the other side. Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

errr uhhh how u gonna work that?

You need a driver drop axle ( ie, diamond, crossed up, D44, etc....)

 

Marlin Crawler makes the adapter to go from pass side (98 4runner) to the Gear drive drivers side drop case, thereby eliminating the need for a Diamond, Crossed up, or D44 axle.

 

really? sweet........now I can SAS my 99 hmmmmmm

 

marlin or inchworm

 

ya i looked on marlins website but kinda was confused. i found one to put a gear driven transfer case on a 3.0 5spd but not a 3.4 automatic. How much does this adapter run?

 

The V6 adapter works in the R150F manual trannies and also in the A340F auto trannies.

DANA 44!!

Just another option for a PS drop.

NO 44's, go with 60's and youllbe happy for life. The stock yota axle is stronger than 44's

 

my vote would be for a toy axle with longs or an fj80 axle. I am planning on running a toy with longs for when i sas.

 

That would be far strong enough for sure easiest way to go for the older rigs but there are ways to run it on the newer however ide vote 60's for it and seriously call it good.

 

But you need very big tires to clear the diffs on D60's...

I prefer remaining all Toyota, don't you?

David

 

I Agree...

 

If your gonna do a SAS you better be running some "tires" i mean come on! SAS and 33's no!

I love toyota to death but sometimes other companies just simply make somthing bigger, stonger, better. Trust me Toyota, Yes! is pretty much all I want in my rig, but you also have to keep in mind the newer 4runners are wider than 2nd and 1st gens and a small toy axle will give you a very scary narrow affect that can prove dangerous on the trail and aspecialy on the road. The fj80 axles is all I would recomend toyota wise for a front diff on any new yota (trucks and 4x4's)

Whats the update cl450r

 

Hell you could sas a geo metro if ya wanted

 

Finally got internet at my house so i can come on here more often. I have a couple 4cyl transfer cases and an 85 pickup axle at the house, so thats why i was plannin on that, but what is the advantage of the fj80 axle? Also i plan on running 38 inch boggers for tires. I want to get everything rounded up, cuz i plan on starting it before the end of the month. Ive been lettin my dad everyday drive it now, haha.

 

FJ axles are wider and stronger. The front has a HP diff and usually E-Locker and the rear has a very big ring gear and axle shafts...

David

 

So what year fj do i need to find these out of? And can you get a high steer setup then for this axle? Wider would def be better and so would the hp diff.

 

you can run the 85toyota axle just get the adaptor and tcase from inchworm

 

ya thats what i was planning on doing, but if the fj axles are better, then maybe il change the game plan
