Maybe they wanted to make sure it would never, as in absolutely never ever, be stolen.

 

Kill switch...

 

had to post that for your amusement!!!!!

i would go with a TJ grill for sure!!!

 

1 or 0" backspacing?

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.

 

I agree with this, Totoya can be built as strong as 60's, I could even go full width with Toyota 80 axles and then build stronger than 60's


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

 

consider me among the lost......................

dude if you hate your toyota truck so much, sell it and go buy a ford and beat the crap out of that, get a 78-79 f350, I hear they are real cheap and easy to find.....

 

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' .....like I am!

 

I AM GOING WITH LONGER AXLES BECAUSE I WANT TO FEEL MORE STABLE.

FJ80 axles cost too much.

 

 

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

 

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 can't beat that.

 

People like Marlin, allpro, alcan leafs and more. Ide say alcan or allpro. great flex from both.

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...

 

here are my build pics
