Some paper to put under it?

Was there a specific incident on how you broke that birfield or was it a combination of a certain drivetrain such as a front locker.  Reason I ask is that I will be ordering a front 3rd with a detriot/5.29 and was wondering how high the risk is breaking birfields with such a locker.

Just do a birfield eliminator kit and be done with it...

People still do those swaps??  I thought the Longfield super axles put that horse down a long time ago....

he has a lockright in the front with 37's and was getting it pretty good when it broke.  If you are putting a detroit up front you should just save your money and do longs at the same time

If you break a birfield or an inner axle it wil ltake out the detriot.  So it would be pointless to get a detriot and not get the 30 spline Bobby Longs too.

[Ramrod]

the 27 splines are plenty strong for most people if you don't want to spend the extra $80

[Ramrod]

thats what I run and I was beating my truck way harder on the same spot he broke that on with no problems

hahaha. i guess so.....                                                 LONGS!

what kind of detriot will you be running? i guess it wont really matter cause yes i did have a locker in the front. its a lockrite and they work great. atleast mine does. if your running stock birfs be careful. i also have 37s to. so that combination of 37s, locked front end, stock birfs, and rocks doesnt mix well.

the eliminator kit is nice but will still blow up before bobbys stuff. read on here.... http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/reviews/birfield_elim/  it talks about how its designed for 38" tires, 180:1 ratio and no more than a 200hp motor, then the warranty is gone. not only that the kit is like $600. $40 more and you can get the 30 spliners where basically only a few people ive heard of have broken them. im almost surtain they were geared more than 180:1 and i know they were running 42s.

pat i bet if i had a rear locker i could have made it up that without breaking....atleast i think i could of.

I know this has been discussed before, but any other recommendation on a lunch box locker. I've read that the aussie locker would not self distruct in the event of breakage.  And is it true that it's really that difficult to turn with a front locker? And I am running stock birfs. 

[Ramrod]

you would most likely have made it up that without breaking with a rear locker.  I was having to romp it pretty good though

[RHG]

I love my lincoln locked rear For a lunchbox locker go with an Aussie or similar locker. Hey Kyle, why dont you swap the thirds front to rear so you dont have to worry about busting another birf?

cause im about ready to order a 27 long set in the next couple of days.

[Ramrod]

those 27 spliners can take a beating. That is what I am running, you will be happy when they come in the mail

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

uh ohhhh......                                 

[lilbuddy]

So Kyle...you now fully suck.

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

dont worry, you can help me intall them. youll be getting a call from me tomarrow.

i got my longs in yesterday. my trucks drivable again. had to deal with kragen which sucked. i rented that big socket for the spindle nut and lost my damn reciept i dont know how. so they kept my $80+ dollars cause i had no "proof" that i rented the tools from them even though 3 people there did agree that i came in along with 1 guy saying ya i rented it to him. there system sucks. but i ended up getting my money back 5 days later....blah long story.

[Hyena]

$80?  that socket prolly costs no more then $20.  What happen there?

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

ya its $25 at kragen. i just figured i could rent the set (which includes like all different types of spindle nuts) cause i probably wont have to mess with my front end again for a very long time. so i didnt feel like spending $25. i dont know. oh well. i got my money back so im happy. buying the socket though probably would have saved me a headache.

[Hyena]

I see now.  I use to just barrow a friends socket.  But i kept needing it every other weekend to fix stuff or upgrade things.  si i went out and bought one from Reibes for $18.  I have used it soo many times it isn't even funny.  So did you leave the locker up front?

[Ramrod]

I just pulled those same birfs out of my front end to fix some leaks and make some inspections and they look better than when I put them in

ya i left the locker up front. i cant wait to beat on my front end now. im not getting another locker for awhile, 1 because im broke, and 2 because the next one im going to go with will be an arb. when i get the arb ill swap 3rds to have that nice selectable up front and the lockrite in the rear.
