hmmmmm...... that already got deleted once I'm sure it will get deleted again..... 

Lets continue on with the build...... 

[pumkin toy [OP]]

Nope. YOU are confused.. STOCK= 30 spline at the hub, 27 spline at the birf and 30 spline at the diff.
27 spline longs are designed to fit onto your STOCK inners 
The reason for the "30 spline" chromos from longfield is to keep them "warrantied"
IFS hubs are 27 spline and Bobby also sells a hub gear to make IFS hubs compatable with birfs (30 spline)

If you dont believe me check it out, I just slid a hub onto the diff side of my long inner axle which is 30 spline and then I counted them to double check 

 

thats good to know.  obviously i didnt know for sure.  So most people usually buy the chromo hub gears just so they dont break as easily i suppose.  if i upgrade to 30 spline longs i dont have to buy hub gears, sweet!

[twistedtoy92]

Definately! Ive got a set of chromo hub gears in the runner but I need the longs to match.. 

[uhohhotdog151]

wow, that thing is just flat pretty.

oh i see,  yeah i'm not sure what to do.  I just dont know how dependable the 27's will be with the 40's.  Everyone says 30 splines are the only way to go for 40's, but it seems like i have never heard how long the 27's will hold up.

wow, that thing is just flat pretty.

thanks!  It's gonna look really sick when i eventually get the bob and dove tail done.

So i got my e-locker harness ran from the motor, up the frame, and into the cab tonight.  I wrapped it all up in wire loom and taped it so it should be really well protected. Tomorrow i am going to install the switch and hopefully everything will be completely operational for wheelin this weekend

The chromo hub gears are a must with 40's, the stock gears break around 5500 and the 30's break at like 8700(not sure on either of those numbers but they are close) so your hub gear is the weak link. when they break they usually strip the splines out on the long and thats the only way bobby wont warranty them. I run the chromo gears in my DD

You better be bringing a photographer the weekend!!!

so what you are sayin is that i should probly buy the chromo hub gears and just use my 27 spline longs and see how long they last?  I'm thinkin thats what i will probly do. Then i can spend my tax return on a winch instead of a 30 spline super set.

You better be bringing a photographer the weekend!!!

dude i wish i had a photographer that could go with every time!  Hopefully i can get one of my buddies to get quite a few pics and video.

yeah I mean you did have a hard time with the birf elim kit.. and my buddies truck hops like no other and he never broke em so I don't know. But my buddy cody, his login is coods he has the datsun and he's broken like 5 27 splines but he rallies hard core...but they send them super quick just sucks taking the axle apart. I would just run them untill you get tired of breaking them if you break them and then just sell them and buy 30s... Since they have a lifetime warantee there re sale value is pretty damn close to new.

yeah thats what i'm thinkin.  Gonna get some chro-mo hub gears and run the 27's for a while, see how easy they break.

i hate this runner because it makes me want mine back soo bad. such a bad ass runner with the 4dees

[GotMyYotaBack]

My Runner has 4d's, ARB Chromo Axles/Ringed 27 Bobby long side, and stock Birf on rt side, stock hubs. I have never had a "self induced" problem. Zero breakage after 5 Rubicon Trips, 3 Fordyce. 2 Dusy trips, 5 Niagra Runs. I only use the locker, when I must. I try not to steer it much if I am using the locker. I go as slow as possible and If it isnt getting there I try slightly different lines. It goes everywhere I point it. The trick to not breaking hubs/birfs is not wanting to.

A rear ARB, 2 Cases and 4.7's, with Big Ole 3psi 40" Irocks help too!

well hopefully mine will hold up that long.  I would be pretty happy (and surprised) if they last through the summer!

Got the final install done on the e-locker this morning.  I routed the harness up from the diff to the rear x-member, on top of the frame rail and then up through a rubber grommet into the cab.  That all turned out really nice, i wrapped the whole harness in plastic loom and then sealed it all up with tape.  I drilled a hole in a switch blank above the cd player and my toggle switch fit perfectly into the back of it.  When i made the harness i ran the indicator light into the back of a stock rear diff lock switch. I then cut a hole and mounted that switch right next to my toggle.  So know when the locker is engaged, the indicator light will light up the stock rear diff lock switch!   Here is a few pics of the switch and harness.  I did a nice clean job with connectors and heatshrink.  In the last two pics you can see the rear diff lock switch in the middle above the CB.  The last pic show it lit up when the locker is engaged

Looks good bra! To bad i wont make the sno run dude. We would get so many photo   opps dude. Exspecially if my bro was going, ha ha. Is Tim going or is the KOH this weeekend? I'm surprized ya didn't know bout the 27 spline hubs work n dude. We put that 30 spline set in donny's runner and never put in 30 spline hub gears bro, and he still just has stock hub gears as of now! Unless i'm confused wat ya are talking bout??? Maybe they are 30 spline already, i dont know!

[peacesells]

Thats the same deck I have in both of my trucks. I had the same deck in 3 different runners, now its in the skinner haha.

Get the hub gears and put those 27 spliners to the test! Bobby has a quick turnaround time, just bring a spare!  

Nice work on the wiring!

[pumkin toy [OP]]

yeah it would be sweet if you could go tomorrow man.  Tim is on his way to KOH man!   Yeah you got it right about the axles and hub gears bro!

its a pretty nice deck.  I usually rock the alpine decks because they are the best i have ever had.  All the pioneer's i have had in the past dont spit out the cd's and i get really pissed off!  This pioneer is pretty badass though.  Yeah i'm gonna order the crhomo gears and beat on those 27's bro!  should be pretty sick.  Then i should have enough to buy a winch.  I'm thinkin about gettin the smittybuilt xrc8.  you know if those are worth a 

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Sweetness man........ Well that sons a tim anyhow ha ha. So who ya going wit tomorrow dude, bunch of 33" runners ha ha. Man i'm bumbed i aint going! Ya rock the 27 spline till ya hear that sound like on buzzworm man "KERSNAP" haha

[pumkin toy [OP]]

uh i think a stock runner is goin, my buddy in his sas taco on 37's, and an 80 series landcruiser e-locked front and rear on 33's.  thats all i know for sure right now.

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Right on dude, i'll be going next weekend fo sho man!! My stuff is ordered yo! Does he still want a toyota axle for his front dude!!

I saw one at a stereo shop for $200 and liked it, went back to buy it and they didnt carry it anymore. So I went on ebay, bought 2 of em for $70 each and havent had a problem in 3 years. I take the faceplate on and off every time I use the truck too.

I bought an xrc8 on cl a while ago, but still havent used it. Looks like a nice winch, it is actually made by tmaxx. Smittybilt bought them out and put their name on the design. My buddy has the bulldog 9500 that is $400 on his crawler and it works great, plenty of line speed. Kinda looks like the same winch as the xrc10? http://www.desertrat.com/products/?id=4059

sweet i will go next weekend too. Then club run is on the 20th!  three weekends of wheelin  yeah he still wants to go toyota front. It might be a while though.  He has a mustang he is puttin money into.

So i welded on some tow hooks today. Also cut and fit a piece of heavy duty mesh into my stinger to help protect my radiator fan.  And i tacked my tube axle truss in place so i can flex the suspension tomorrow and make sure it doesnt contact the oil pan anywhere. I am sick of the regular boxed in style axle trusses that everyone sells, so i bent up and fit my own at work the other day.

yeah i have heard about the bull dog winches too.  I really am hoping that xrc8 is pretty good cause it is a great price for a winch that comes with synthetic line and aluminum fairleed.  I really want synthetic line on my next winch, i hate cable!

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Dude that axle truss is tight man. Way sicker than that box is crap that eveyone has. I have like 4 of those bent up now dude. lol from my rear mess up axle truss man! Now i know wat i will use them for. The mesh is look n good, now ya just need the toyota emblem painted white behind it and that would be super dope man!! tear it up tomorrow man!!

[pumkin toy [OP]]

yeah i am pretty stoked about the axle truss! looks good. yeah you got enough of those around now you could start sellin them! ha ha
