Looking good.

Hope you get the vibrations figured out.

Wait till after you put the dual cases in to do your d-shaft. That way you will only have to rework your d-shaft once. If you don't want vibes, put in a CV at the T-Case end.

can i use the CV from my front IFS shaft?

slabcs · « **Reply #34 on:** May 27, 2008, 12:37:12 PM »

Yes you can.

I've got an 84 4Runner dual cased with factory perches on the rear axle, and it still rides fine going 70 on the freeway with my CV rear shaft that looks like it's been to Hell and back.

On my 87 4Runner with 5" Marlin rears and factory perches and stock driveshaft (very similar to your setup), it still goes down the freeway at 70 smooth as butter. If the driveshaft was perfectly fine before, I don't see why you're getting weird vibes.

Do you think it could be tire related?

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #35 on:** May 27, 2008, 02:23:08 PM »

I think we screwed up putting on those new perches...should have just used factory perches and went from there...stupid. No i dont think its tire related be cause it that tight feel at low speeds if ya konw what i mean. I think the problem is the slip yoke right off the trans not grabbing enough spline, to stretched out.....this is really anoying and i dont have much money to get a shaft stretched

Try to find a driveshaft from ashort bed automatic. It's just long enough. I know cause that's what I have in mine. I have wheeled it at the Con & has never slipped out. Measure how long it has to be first.

Let's see a pic of the finished product

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #38 on:** May 27, 2008, 08:33:25 PM »

Here it is...check out the axle moved forward about 2 inches!

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #39 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:24:41 PM »

Well I went to Fresno driveline service today after work figured out what im gonna do....im gonna take my cv joint from my front ifs shaft and put it on the front of the rear then flip the rear to have the slip at the rear of the shaft then they are gonna modify my cv to get for angle out of it or something...hope that made sense..they said it would cost about 150 bucks....then about 62 bucks to shorten it when i get my duels setup.

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #40 on:** Jun 01, 2008, 07:30:30 PM »

an update for all of you that care...we made a square front drive shaft yesterday and clearanced the cv out...worked out pretty good untill on the way down bald mountain the rear u joint snapped...brand new u joints...oh well i think they are still under kragen warrenty. Im gonna setup my duals soon to hev less angle on the front, her are a few pics....oh and dont mid the TG emblem...thats coming off soon...I konw the history.

8Snaces · « **Reply #41 on:** Jun 01, 2008, 08:40:37 PM »

That came out sweet!! Those pics are pretty awesome!! Good flex. Would definetly like to find a runner and do that... makes a good family crawler. I like the first gen runners... esp with SA. Keep up the good work. Lemme know if u need little things. I always seem to run across extras and spares.

You know OEM Toyota joints are similar in strength to one-tons? You should NOT be breaking driveshafts with your set up...especially a brand new one

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #44 on:** Jun 02, 2008, 08:51:26 PM »

It was the Cv joint on the front shaft....we clearanced it, and had problems with needle bearings goin in right....i think that was the issue...I thought it was the extreme angle but i geuss not

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #45 on:** Jun 08, 2008, 04:01:52 PM »

I finally mounted my rear shocks...im worried they are to long..i havnt flexed it out yet, i need a fork lift to check it out...what do you guys think? they are 12" shocks i think...im thinking i need 10"s

AaronB · « **Reply #46 on:** Jun 08, 2008, 04:05:53 PM »

your good 12"s are perfect.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #47 on:** Jun 08, 2008, 04:12:04 PM »

those shocks look fine. I had a similar issue and they dont come close to hitting.

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #48 on:** Jun 08, 2008, 04:14:32 PM »

I hope your right those things are 100 bucks piece! i would hate to damage them

toyotanner · « **Reply #49 on:** Jun 08, 2008, 04:30:24 PM »

you should be okay but i would flex it out first before going up wheelin and thrashing them

DTB · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 09, 2008, 06:59:57 AM »

Dunno that looks pretty close on the shocks....

I had to move mine in some because they were (close to) bottoming out after the springs settled......they settled a lot more than I thought they would..

Guess you'll just have to wait until the springs settle and find out...

How much shock rod are you showing? I think it should be around 4 to 5 inches....

definetly...all those do is trap mud and water inside there

....it looks pretty close to bottoming out once your springs settle. truck looks good tho

4dryota · « **Reply #56 on:** Jun 09, 2008, 04:38:39 PM »

What's up Joe? Did you cut those boots off yet? What else are you working on? Stop by the new house soon.

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #57 on:** Jun 09, 2008, 05:41:20 PM »

no not yet i was busy today...ill cut them off tomorro...i also have some 6" shackles i might put on to level it out that might help

You need about 6 "

That would make 6 inches uptravel and 6 inches down..... Most set ups have a little more downtravel than up (Mine is probably about 5 up and 7 down...you definitely dont want to hang the weight of the axle on the shock (but at the same time dont want to bottom out the shock)

Joey88RUNR · « **Reply #59 on:** Jun 27, 2008, 05:57:33 PM »

Time for a update! well i have been having problems with my brake master cylinder leaking this is now the 4th one i have put on in the last 8 months...this time i went with a V6 master cylinder, my problem now seems like my pedal is a higher now...i adjusted the push rod down a little then had to adjust the switch so the brake lights were not on all the time....any help would be great!....i wonder if that is normal?....or am i having a booster problem
