I just think the issue is that all of them, except the first one, were most likely set up wrong.
I agree... to much skinny pedal...lol..

haha yeah the led foot = BOOM lol i like the skinny pedel too but i have the little 22re... i can try to go fast but all that happens is alot of sound but no movement haha.

mike maybe you should go full widths? 60's. 3.4,40's, led foot must be too much for mini axles. owell your 4runner is still badass

yeah 1 tons would be awesome but i would rather soo you run toyota axles 1 tons are strong but look kinda weird on yotas imo. might buy my buddies 91 2door runner and sas that but after seeing how your 3.4 and big tires on yota axles is making me think twice lol.

Get em set up right and it shouldn't be an issue..

Ive had some freak accidents with the last two..

Welded carrier snapped in half.. and the last one the ring gear bolts went through the diff.. otherwise idk how long they would have lasted.

yeah hmmm. you have had some bad luck with diffs sofar lol i guess if i had the 3rds set up real good and im not on the throttle alot i should be fine but im seriously thinking about buying his 2door runner, because its kinda nice to be able to take more than one person wheeling with you haha. hard to decide.... 22re std cab or 3.4 swap 2door runner....

Whoa!! What the??
I suppose I better do that brace. Thats crazy right there.
I don't wheel as hard as you but I think bracing that is a good idea.
Thanks for posting that up!

Haven't wheeled it in probably over a month either.. Just the stress from the leaf springs.

So got my gears from Randy's ring and pinion two days ago! :beer:

And i finished hooking up my front arb last night.

So all i need to do is set up my rear diff, break it in and go wheeling!








Now im just debating on what to do with the back. Open, welded, or buy a spool

So got my new ecu, got the truck running.
I have a CEL though, so im trying to get this obd2 port to work so i can pull the codes.

Other than that, got my ARP studs installed, my rocklights mounted.

Still waiting on moving my steering box, mounting my shocks and getting my diff installed.

Sorry. A little late to the show on this one, but yeah, cracks happen. Our group first ran across it when Steve Reynolds (Elvota) started getting cracks on his. The rest of us put on gussets pre-emptively and so far so good. Might be the weight of the v6. Not sure.
