No problem, you're putting some hard work into that runner and in shows
I really want to see how you like those 80 series axles and how they hold up to the 4dees. The front looks pretty beef except for the r&p and the rear should hold up well also. I've been keeping my eye out to see if a deal on a front comes up, but no luck yet.
i think i will like them. The birfields are way bigger and since the ring and pinion is a high pinion, it is also stronger than a standard 8". I know i wont have any problems with the rear axle... Its stright beef! way bigger than a mini truck rear axle
This may be a really dumb question...
Looks like the bolt pattern is symmetrical. Why couldn't you just turn the driver's side steering arm 180*?
Looks killer!
thats a valid question! It would have been nice to be able to do that. The pattern is symetrical. The problem is that the steering arm is built to come off the knuckle at an angle in order to get the proper Ackerman angle for the stearing. So when you flip the arm 180 degrees, then it hits the brake rotor because it is now pointing the wrong direction. also that arm isnt quite as tall as the passenger side one and it is also longer! So i had to cut it, shorten it, and point it up at a steeper angle in orderto match the pass side.
Looking good man you sure know what you doing keep up the good work. Just got my new wheels on my 4runner havent been working on it to much trying to get my boosted civic fixed i just put a hondata s300 in it need to tune it know, then i can start working on my 4runner again.
