High Pinion Frankenstein
« on: Dec 12, 2005, 08:54:20 AM »
Okay, I met someone this weekend while picking up a tranny and he told me something interesting. He told me you can take the high pinion front third member off an FJ and use it on a mini truck axle with no modifications. Has anyone done this? If so, is it really just a "bolt on" modification? This is the first time I've heard about this.

marlin even sells a complete setup ready to bolt on with new gears and a locker
Sand, what fun, drop pressure to 12psi, stock tires are still digging, can't afford to get stuck, 8psi, still not working. Find a place to GET OUT, air up, un-lock hubs,  WAIT whats this, hubs are UN-LOCKED already. 2wd, 8psi, stock tires, Oregon sand dunes.
