Finally, SAS'ed the Migo... and she sits.....

[*FFC*]

are we talking turbo lag  or hung over cause we where out drinking lag?

Laggin as in I'm workin and haven't had a chance to take pics yet laggin... and when I was at Moon Rocks the last thing I was tryin to take pics of was my build procedure

[6.72:1]

That would be you uncle!

Ain't nothin' like drinking and getting gas all over 'yer leg 'cause the Supra so low to the ground.

HA!

[*FFC*]

I was replacing the metal things that go over the felt on the knuckles and I broke a bolt off

While I was under there I thought of UncJ and his demand for pics... so I got out my camera and my memory cards are full so I can't take any more pics till I find a card reader and empty em

So when I find some way to empty my cards, I'll get some pics up

Don't worry Justina, I am way behind you in my build!



But really the 'ol Toymiga is getting there nicely!

[*FFC*]

Thanks



Well I tried gettin the busted bolt out and I think I messed up the threads.  I'm gonna have to drill it out and re-thread the hole a lil bigger

if its not at the end of the little half moon peice  i wouldnt even bother

It's on the bottom piece... bottom rear hole

[79coyotefrg]

as long as it dont pooch out bad  dont worry about it, unless it just worries you to no end  and you just cant stand it

It doesn't stick out at all... the bolt broke INside the hole.  I was just thinkin without it it'll leak

[79coyotefrg]

those are more to keep the dirt out than the grease in,  that  1/2 inch wide band  under the  half moons  does  better
i wouldnt worry about it


sometime later when you have the knuckle off the truck and can get to it then fix it then

and by grease (from personal experience on steves truck) he means goo, the grease in there is thick, its not going anywhere.....

Naw not really, it's all relatively fresh gear oil. The knuckle is already leakin a little bit Oh well, what's a little MORE gear oil

[*FFC*]

Well I tried drivin the Migo to town today.  There is a loud THUMP THUMP comin from the rear end when I accelerate, shift, and brake.  I'm thinkin maybe a busted shaft or gears

I was lookin from the outside and saw that I lost some Ubolt washers, so I decided to replace those with some sturdier washers.  I stripped 2 ubolts out So the Migo sits till I can get some REAL ubolts

[6.72:1]

You definitely don't want those U-bolts coming off!

[*FFC*]

You definitely don't want those U-bolts coming off!

Yeah no kidding... time to get some beefy ones made

[6.72:1]

I had 7/8ths of an inch diameter made for myself, but of course that is excessive. Well, your axle selection is a bit different, but some good 9/16th or 5/8ths should hold on to you....

Yeah these half inchers aren't cuttin it

[IronClad]

9/16ths are plenty.. and theres no way you broke a shaft.  theres guys pounding on stock yota rear shafts with 40's and 42's. with no breakage

[jimbo74]

and braking a shaft would mean a lot more than thump, thump...... remember when i broke my tailshaft? my truck didnt move.....

Yeah but the transmission output shaft and the rear axle shafts are a bit different It'll still roll with a busted axle shaft

I don't think ti's a shaft anyway... I don't know what it is I have to pull my third sometime this weekend or next week and we'll see

[unclejpl4x4]

[yotaweelr]

she has a 79-85 rear axle. the shafts being shorter I think makes them stronger, I have seen many 86 and newer broken shafts and twisted splines. I am actually worried about it with mine, i have a ifs rear axle now. I am going to upgrade the rear shafts before it happens to mine. My friend smoggie has taken out 3, 2 in one housing and 1 in another. my other friend dennis has taken out 2, each in different axle housings. latest one was memorial day at the gatekeeper, anybody there friday night-saturday morning would have seen it. Scottz has twisted 2, with only 4 trips maybe on them. I have pulled mine many times, but never bothered looking at the splines. guess I am too scared to look. this is within the last 3 yrs of running these axles under our trucks.

justina if you have a problem with the rear third let me know, i don't have anymore 4.30 diffs, but I am sure I can find one. all I have laying around are 4.10s.

Thank you Jeremy I'll let you know for sure.  If there is a problem then it's just a good excuse to bump up to 4:88's I plan to pull the third sometime this comin week on one of my days off

[Blingn]

chhrrriiiisss might have 4.88's ill check with rj also
