The whole truck has only been run for 6 months!! the link set up is gonna be sick dude for sure! I like where you are headed!
oh man I'm liking the direction you are going! things gonna be SICK
OH snap!!! this is gonna be SICK!
The question of the past century of Toyota modification...What are your plans for steering for the FJ80 front?
Dang I though the 80 was strong?
It is going forward. As long as you never have to back up under load or pull someone back it's very tough. I blew a cryoed Precision Gear 4.88 ring gear on the front of my 80 going forward even! I will do the Diamond/High 9 in my 80 soon as I like to play with out worry of POP! The rear 80 diff is a beast! The only real weak link in the rear is the e-locker. New parts are nearly unobtanium and if you put a twist on the long splined short side it is a mutha to get out! I'm running a Detroit with short splined Poly axles in the 80 rear on my FJ-40.
Personally, I wouldnt use the 80 front axle. On mine I widened a fj-60 axle to match the rear. If your wanting the high pinion the have a diamond made up and use a currie high 9 or stronger. Ive seen several toy 8hps break and the 80 steering knuckles suck!
Whats his name on Pirate was developing a new CNC knuckle wasn't he? to cure that problem
well I believe the front fj60's were 8.8'' werent they?
yeah I think the 60 front is 9.5, but the birfs are the same size as mini truck. So ultimately if you could build a custom front axle using the 60 centersection with 80 series axles and birfs and the custom high steer knuckles that billybob13 is coming out with, that would be a sick axle. But then you wouldnt have a high pinion front. I really want the high pinion. I guess you just cant have it all! ha ha
You also have to remember that you blew a front r+p in your cruiser which is at least 2000lbs heavier than my runner!
8.8 is a ford lol
I've heard of guys rotating the 9.5 to HP position. I don't know what they did to accommodate the oiling issue. The 80 rear 9.5 is nearly identical to all the other Cruiser 9.5's with the exception of another oiling port in the housing and more webbing on the third. My front widened 60 has a rear 80 chunk with an ARB carrier. You might be surprised that what Brian can build you a Diamond housing for to exactly what your dreaming of. Skip a mortgage payment.....I'm sure the bank wont mind.....
check out that article i was talking about on the homegrown dudes front, he flipped his third but had a build housing. . . .
