Does anybody know the specs on the new Tundra's silly big rear axle. I freaked out when I saw one because the thing looks like a 9'' Ford. The 8'' rear is about as strong as a 44, but this new axle looks sexy. I am putting on my list as a potential swap if I can get a hold of one...one with the Elocker $Beer Chug\'n$

10.5" ring gear!

Indeed, 36 spline axles,with an outside diameter of 1.457 nches comparable in strength to 14 bolt or Dana 70, so says the august edition of 4wheel and off road.

now to find a match for the front.

I read that too I think that they must have been comparing ring and pinion cause the 14b has a 1.5in shaft and is something like a 20% differance in strength according to pbb. Anyways not the point just something that seems to be odd to state cause shaft comparision would put it closer to a 30spline d60 rear.

Tell ol' Marlin to whip up a tundra high pinion 3rd with fj80 knuckles ? I really like the closed knuckel design.

what are you going to do about the lug pattern? the new tundra is a 5 lug.

skipnrocks · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 12, 2008, 05:26:18 PM »

How come tundra went from six to five lug, is six over rated?

couldn't tell you.

Gittinit · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 13, 2008, 10:50:07 AM »

I wonder what the advantages are to running the 5 lug on this axle? Most comparable axles run 8 lug, which I'm shure is overkill for the application.

red · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 13, 2008, 11:57:54 AM »

5 would be a disadvantage, harder to get wheels in the aftermarket for one thing

ya im pretty sure that nobody is making rims for the new tundra yet, its some wierd 5 lug pattern

thats gay

surely toyota designers have something up their sleeve that we dont know about

Toymin8r · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 13, 2008, 01:39:04 PM »

They switched to a metric lug pattern but I don't know why they went to five.

No real Lockers availible yet. We are working with Toyota to get a couple thirds to Brian @ Diamond so he can build one and possibly start producing them. We are also working to get a locker produced for them.

Axle shafts are really close to 35spline major diameter with a slightly larger Minor diameter. Ring gear is really close to the same as the 14bolt and again similar size major and larger minor diameter. The whole thing weighs about 100 lbs less than a d60 rear. It will be a great axle but there is much work to do.

Eaton as well, to me it looks like proper machining on an existing locker blank but to the big guys it is a much bigger deal.

Does it have a stamped housing or is it cast of some sort? will it be easy to shave?

Stamped same as 8" toyota or 9" ford but BiGGER

Cool, may have to check one out. Think I still want portals though.

Wonder how much you can shave? I know if you try you can get 2in off the 14b.
