I got the rear 4.37s swapped in. Im hopefully gonna make enough money tomorrow to buy the square driveline stuff (86BT) and buy trunion bearings for the drivers side. If i get time friday morning or tomorrow afternoon Ill start on my shock towers and then ill be ready to do some wheelin and testin to make sure im ready for winter time.

I forgot how nice it was to drive with an open diff and waht it felt like to be able to make a sharp turn.

I also took a closer look at my welded third. It looks like the welds broke but there was sooo much weld that it couldn't turn over so it stayed locked.

That would explain all the

stuck to the drain plug magnet.

haha its my buddy

i broke off my bump stops playin around today which was lame. i never got around to fully welding em so its my fault. i need to pull my IFS driveline off. im tired of hearin it clank around whe im drivin.

im gonna hold off on the driveshaft stuff for now. im too broke to put oyu out on the cash still so ill get ahold of you if i get some cash or get down to the place in redding

NorCalToy · « **Reply #137 on:** Nov 09, 2009, 01:52:12 PM »

got my bumpstops welded back on and the driveline pulled. so now iv at least got a 2Lo when im playin around on the local BS i havent done my shocks yet. i was gonna get started on em today but it started raing and i dont really wanna be welding in the rain. if it quits for long enough ill go get started though

NorCalToy · « **Reply #138 on:** Nov 09, 2009, 11:43:11 PM »

ok now im confsued about drivelines...what driveline should i use for my front? the IFS CV didnt seem like it could acheive nearly enough droop to work for the front...i was plannin on using the ends from an 86ish rear non CV driveline. good idea, bad idea? im going to probably have a shop build me a longspline driveline and i dont wanna end up with a shitty setup.

I used my stock 85 front drive shaft and turned it into a square drive shaft.

Nope, IFS Front DL's are Double CV.

Hit and Miss engines.
the exhaust causes alot of problems though.
if its well maintained and and the HG's are replaced.
should be just fine.

Mine serves it's purpose and will run circles around the 22RE's I've had.

not mine. iv got some weird idle issues but i dont have any problem pullin 75-80 down the freeway with 35s and 4,37s on all but the steepest of hills.

the biggest thing that helped my V6 out was ditchin the IFS. It weighs like 3x as much as a solid axle does and i had auto hubs and my vacuum thing was broken so it was always spiinin all my running gear. I noticed a huge power increase when i switched from IFS and 30" tires to a soild axle and 35" tires.

yeah alot of supra guys redo the valve body and whatnot on the 7MG(T)E Autos.
I just like having a 5Speed, the Autos are geared way too high IMHO for these 4x4s

what tranny are you gonna run behind teh supra? wseries?

I cant remember how to set a W behind a V6 anymore. there was some combo of bellhousing that did it i thought

axled89 · « **Reply #149 on:** Nov 11, 2009, 03:06:53 PM »
