[86bobbedtoy]

more pics!!!   
Nice 1st gen though, real clean looking

[rebelKrawler83]

so as far as goin full width axles wat you guys think would be the best cuz i was thinkin dana 44 but sumone thought they were really weak

[fatt_matt]

full widths???  it depends on what you can get...

14bolts, dana 60's are popular here..  Dana 44's.. for some reason aren't really popular here.
whatever is cheapest, and easiet to get really is what it comes down to.. for me atleast

[rebelKrawler83]

yeah theres chromoly axles available for dana 44s right

[skipnrocks]

Their are chromos available for all the dana axles, with possably the dana 50 being the exception,  Im not sayin they dont have them for d50 I am just not sure...

[rebelKrawler83]

sweet then if i do chromos with the dana 44 full widths they should stand up to the 4os right 

[skipnrocks]

sweet then if i do chromos with the dana 44 full widths they should stand up to the 4os right 

I hope so cause my front end is essentially a d44 with chromos and I just got a new set of 42s Im hoping they will stand up too,  My rear end is a bit heavier though...

[rebelKrawler83]

  nice wat kinda tires you gunna be runnin and let me know how those axles hold up

[rebelKrawler83]

If your gonna go through the hassle of swapping axles go with Dana 60's. Very strong and will give you a wider stance. Why dont you go with a 4 runner in the first place???

[rebelKrawler83]

first and most important cant afford it hahaand second most love my truck too many great memorys to not  fix it up

[rebelKrawler83]

so yeah its fun breakin heres the list of broke. bent tie rod, broken motor mount, flopped carb, leakin valve cover, flopped taillights, and few more things

If your gonna go through the hassle of swapping axles go with Dana 60's. Very strong and will give you a wider stance.

I agree with Yoat Goat on this one. In all honesty the D44 is not any stronger than a toyota front axle. Some people dont seem to mind busting ujoints and axle shafts but if i was going to put the work into a truck to make it full width, I would just go 60 and call it good. With a toyota you are going to have a hard time breaking a 60.

Another cheap option for rear full width axles are T100 rear axles. They are as wide as a full width D44 and plenty stout. The reason I am so against D44s is because I have a buddy who is on his second full width truck running the same axles he did on his last truck (d44 front, t100 rear). He has broken his front axle at least 6 or 8 times (its open) with 35s, while his welded t100 rear has lasted through one truck already (that at one point had 42s, he broke the D44 first run out with the 42s) and is on its second vehicle in 5 years and nothing has ever broken on the rear. Likewise my other buddy has a toyota front with 37s and an ARB and hasnt broken anything in 3 years.

I have just gotten frustrated with him breaking his D44 every other run and I wish he would just upgrade to a 60. Honestly I cant think of anything he has ever broken on the trail besides some component of his dana 44. Especialy if you want to do 40s....skip the 44 and go 60. The cost of repairing the 44 will quickly rise above the initial cost of a D60 

PS. your truck is going to look sick with full width axles and 40s

[rebelKrawler83]

ight thanks for the info wat other axles would be a good thing. and im not sure but is there a way to make my yota axles wider by spacers or sumthing?

[rebelKrawler83]

PS. your truck is going to look sick with full width axles and 40s

hell yeah i cant freakin wait man

[46&2]

Yeah you can use spacers but if the truck gets driven on the road the smaller the better. The best thing to do is to use the t100 axle out back at least, i wouldnt recommend any spacers larger than 1.5"-2" on a truck that sees the road much.

[rebelKrawler83]

well once its done i plan on having it mainly for rock krawlin not much street use mostly on a trailer

[toyotanner]

yeah if your gonna trailer it and not use it much on the road.... go big or go home i'd go 60's.

[rebelKrawler83]

idk though cuz aint 60s really huge and weigh alot?

[rebelKrawler83]

well one night of rompin lot of damage my truck is sittin on blocks with the ass end ripped apart and the motor ripped apart
