Subbed!

I've just about got all the funds for the BL LT kit. Good to know what can be done it.

lots of awesome work in this thread! hats off to you guys!
I've been contemplating doing this on my surf with the cressida 8" diff I have from my doner car. cressi's in canada came stock with LSD and 4:30 gears. the rear cover is different from the supra diff though.

just read the entire thread, great work guys!!!

I havea t100 i am lookig to start a LT build on and was wondering if anyone has thought about using stock tacoma or 3rd gen 4runner struts in place of the torsions? i know it would require a custom UCA to have the strut fit through but could be a cheap alternate to aftermarket coilovers.

also i have noticed some of the supra inner CV are not tripod and look more of a 930cv style:

might be a way to get around the low angle of the stock tripod on the 86-95 truck front end?

I have not seen one in person yet just theorizing from internet reading.

I have also found this adapter to go from supra diff to porsche 930 cv:

if you could find a outer CV that will work with a 930cv spline custom length 930 splined shafts are really common in the dune buggy world, could be a easy way to get the lengths needed.

here they offer 28 spline 930 chromolly shafts up to 28" OAL for only $230 bucks. not to bad.

here is a old race-dezert thread i remember with some good info in it. says if you wanted to use a 97-02 f-150 outer stub and unit bearing and a 930 28 spline outer. would require custom spindl though but sounds like that could be a cheap easy way to get longer shafts cheaper.

party barge pilot also said he took some 930 flanges and welded them to some stock toyota stubs, that could be a cool option to keep the stock spindle just take some careful work on the lathe.

Old thread and I know the OP hasn't been around for a long time but knew I had seen this truck out a fee years ago in the TSF.

Very cool
