Would a Toyota Diamond axle with gussets, Longfields, and cryo-treated R&P be as strong as a Dana 60 style Diamond Axle?

why the thumbs down if you don't know?

 

Ha, I though it was a question mark. Does anyone know? Or have an opinion?

 

areyou planning on rinning King of the Rocks? or dropping in a blown ZZ572??

if not, i think that the toyota axles would be plenty strong...

plus you keep your stock width, which is a plus on the trails...

 

As close as you're gonna get, with a TON more ground clearance.

If you're running <40's, the size of the 60 is a real killer.

 

I'm not planning on just completely romping on them, but I would like to run 39" tires behind a 1UZ-FE + R151F. Think they would hold up? Any chance with stock axles?

 

just run an fj80 axle with longs and call it done. the only reason i see for going d60 is the r&p and running deeper gears.

I would love to run an 1uzfe with r 5speed.

whose bell housing you going with?

 

That's a good idea...IDK why I didn't think of that haha.

A340F bellhousing to a 10 mm thick adapter plate. Sourced it from a guy in Oz for $20. I'll post the link to it when I get mine machined and working.

 

What do you mean by "Diamond style d60" Do you mean stock d-60 stuff in a diamond housing, or do you mean a blinged out chromo d-60.

I guess it doesnt matter because the answer to both is NO. The dana 60 is stronger.

 

I didn't say "Diamond style D60" I said "Dana 60 style Diamond Axle".

Iced out D60 would be pretty pimping though haha...

Yeah that's what I was thinking...You don't think they'd even be close? 'Cause I'd like to run somewhere around 39" tires...

 

WTF is the difference?...

BTW this has been covered a million times on Pirate4x4.

 

39's are not big enough to justify the bigger pumpkin and loss of ground clearance from a D60 IMHO.

 

I've been reading that you need around 42"...
