We were able to use an IFS front driveshaft (I think it was a front) It works though

Wow that's pretty short. Won't be any room for a dual.

Yeah... I drove it today. I did the hydraulic to cable clutch swap and it works. I drove it a lil ways and it wobbles like crazy. The driveshaft I used for the rear won't work since we flipped it (put the cv at the pinion rather than the tcase). So now I"m in the market for another one that I can cut up

Yeah, I'm glad it worked and you got to drive it..

Actually she is going to run accordionized transfer cases (for flexibility) all the way back and bolt it directly to the axle flange..

Won't the front driveshaft hang a little low?

Try putting the Dshaft how its supposed to be with the pinion pretty much pointed at the tcase.

I tried that to begin with. The CV side won't pull the angle from the tcase down. I turned the axle so that angle is almost zero. I guess a front '84-'85 driveshaft will do the trick.... anyone have one layin around?

You can take the IFS shaft apart and clearence it to get as much or slightly more then the strait axle ones,

search pirate if you can there is a good write up somewhere

is your pinion pointed properly ? a cv joint is probably not the answer. probably need a standard joint on each end since its so short..

The pinion is pointed straight at the tcase

IronClad · « **Reply #459 on:** May 11, 2006, 06:53:06 PM »

ok you have other problems then and a CV shaft isnt gonna solve your problems.. id really suggest having a regular ujoint shaft made. if done properly there will be 0 to very very little vibes.

*FFC* · « **Reply #460 on:** May 11, 2006, 09:47:23 PM »

Thank you IC. I tried it with the front before with the same angle and it didn't work. However, if the CV doesn't work, and the stoopid bank gives me my money back, I'll be goin to the DL shop

Banks are mean, they'll gladly except your hard earned dollar and say they will keep it safe for you, but for some reason just can't find that deposit you made last week.

Or put the money into the account that was stolen, when the stolen account swallows the check, it takes forever to get yer money into the right account

STOOOOPID!!

I bet the CV shaft will work, just not an IFS one because they only get like 10* of movement

IronClad · « **Reply #466 on:** May 12, 2006, 07:23:52 AM »

so far the only CV joint to impress me is the 49 degree cv from paradise driveline. its pure badass. unless you pony up for one of those babies you arent gonna get as much angle as you could with a standard jointed sshaft

rockscrambler · « **Reply #467 on:** May 12, 2006, 03:22:14 PM »

Hey I think maybe I'll SAS the bronco make it a straight axle.

but that's food for thought for down the road.

Did you cruise through the Citrus Heights area the other day? I could have swore I saw a white sas'd migo with toyota axles a few days ago cruise by me. ... How many of those can their actually be out there?!

Depends on when "The other day" was. I was drivin it around the parking lot of Showgirls on Auburn just testing the crossmember. I don't know if Jeremy had it out or not. If it wasn't there, then I doubt it was me cuz it can't go more than 5 mph right now... but it was rollin about 3 weeks ago and driveable and yes I was driving it around for about 2 months before that

Ok, got the new driveshaft in today. Took care of the deathly vibrations that was goin on

Left to do before MoonRocks:

Bend floor so CV stops rubbing on it
Cover t-case with something (It's in the cab)
Make shock hoops/install shocks for front
Shorten front driveshaft 1/2"
Bumpstops

PACK!!! $Beer Chug\'n$

Ramrod · « **Reply #474 on:** May 17, 2006, 08:34:43 AM »

wow this things really coming along and looking sweet. A couple questions though:
Did you ever do anything with the rear springs or are you still running the big aluminum blocks? How is the low range with that t-case tranny combo? and dang I forgot the others but you need some rock sliders now

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #475 on:** May 17, 2006, 03:49:22 PM »

U know if U just get 3 big sprockets and some long chains U would not have 2 worry about all this drive shaft stuff. just rename 2 Toymigocart

lets see pics

I'm heading up to Sac Thursday evening and goin from there with some friends of mine. IF I take the Amigo (Depending on whether or not I find a tow rig), then I will be driving and towing the Amigo up. If I don't find a tow rig, then I will be riding with some friends. The plan is to leave Livermore around 8pm, stop in Sac and get their rigs, and go from there

Well thanks

I am still running the stock Amigo rears with an AAL, however, I have swapped in some steel blocks and a toyota rear end, new thirds with new gears. The tranny/tcase combo so far is doin pretty well crawling... I just gotta get used to the new clutch set up

Rock sliders are on my to do list, but not priority. Now that the new driveshaft didn't work, my priority is finding a new CV, gettin the old one rebuilt, or just lookin for a new driveshaft.
