Great tech there. Arctic trucks don't rock crawl, Longfields do. This whole thread is not giving a fair shake to the Toy stuff and everyone who reads it will get lost. For what people NORMALLY pay for HP 60's, it would be cheaper and stronger to use a Diamond fron with 30 spline Longfields. What you are building will be wider and stronger than what you have, but not stronger than what you could have in a Toyota axle. |

but I'm going with 60's |
well I have been debating which axles to go with for about 6 months.....
my buddy with Rocks had me convinced to use those (cost) since they are already geared. been researching them for a few months now even sourced a set. I have a set in a junkyard for $600 but I am not sure of the front since the 3rd sits soo high. Not a problem for the rear but it is for the front since I wanna keep the leafs for now ($$ for a 4-link & Shocks) So I decided to pull that 60 sitting next door but it actually ended up being a 14 Bolt FF with 4.10's. I am gonna run this and a Chevy 60 short side narrowed 3". got the rear ready for my brackets and have made them all. The C/O mounts I might buy from Ballistic Fab |

Doesn't sound like a Toyota hater at all, just sounds like a guy trying to have fun on a budget, at least he's wheelin' and buildin' and not working too many hours and doing more web-wheelin' than real wheelin':bigok: .....like I am!:(

Kiss ground clearance behind on any tire smaller than 36's. Better get to shaving that thing... Better yet cut and reweld the bottom of the housing...
|
I will shave an inch or so and gonna run 42's or so
|
swapped the 16" Fox coilovers for some 18" Fox Air Shox.
they look a little plain but at least they are bigger. Cut off my front AllPro hanger and built a new one, using part of the old one and some 2x2x.250 for FW 31.5" center to center. It has a 2" drop compared to the AllPro hanger. but no pics yet Redid my lower link mounts using Ballistic Fab brackets along with some Ballistic Fab C/O and Lower Link mounts. Also sleeved (again) my lowers, they are 1.5x.250 DOM, sleeved with 1.75x.120 DOM, now sleeved with 2x.120 DOM = 2x.5 DOM...... yep 1/2" thick they are monsters. Also rear driveshaft is finished.... I hate needle bearings http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...1/IMG_2798.jpg http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...1/IMG_3123.jpg http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...1/IMG_3124.jpg http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...1/IMG_3125.jpg |
Where are you getting your leafs? I am wondering if I can use the toyota leafs or should I get some others? I am building my own hangar, just looking at leafs, got a pair of dana 60's from a friend for free :D can't beat that.

I like how the back is cut. got any more pics of it? I think its a bit much to cut but it still looks good from what ive seen in the pics you have |
Dana60s with 40s under a full bodied yota is possible... even the newer models. I have seen this setup with the glass fenders and they work like a charm. I'm not 100% sure what he did to achieve this but I could see if I can find out...
