how? got pics?

Hyena · « **Reply #1322 on:** Apr 07, 2007, 06:21:15 PM »

both of them cracked in the same spot. Bobby is sending me 2 new ones. these were the ones with the 4340 inner star. they were a year and a half old. the new ones have the 300m stars.

Hyena · « **Reply #1323 on:** Apr 07, 2007, 06:23:08 PM »

and they started clicking with my 37's. my 40s have only been on for 2 trips. so they broke with the 37's!

dude....

You need to start making your truck drink more milk or something.

geez... atleast bobby's backing the longs.. that's awesome.

Matty · « **Reply #1326 on:** Apr 08, 2007, 03:44:47 PM »

so the clicking in the frontend was infact the longs?

Hyena · « **Reply #1327 on:** Apr 08, 2007, 05:52:21 PM »

Yep, it was the longs.

what are you doing with that cool slider tool box that was on your truck before the links? if you were not using it i would be willing to take off your hands for the right price.

Hyena · « **Reply #1329 on:** Apr 08, 2007, 07:53:34 PM »

I planned on keeping it for when/if i cage the rear. I am not sure now though.

Sweet

Damn, thats some flex! Whats the limiting factor in the rear right now? Are the tires still rubbing? I bet if you had links in the front to you would be able to get the axle straight up and down. Nice. Sooooo who wants to start a poll on how long it will take brad to flop it with the new links?

gotrocks · « **Reply #1334 on:** Apr 09, 2007, 08:48:23 AM »

brad just stop messing around and get a 60. I broke my r/p right after I put my longs in as well. A toyota front end is only so strong and I think that you're deffinatly getting to the limits of the strength.

i agree

Hyena · « **Reply #1336 on:** Apr 09, 2007, 03:41:53 PM »

i am really thinking about it. but it will have to wait till after the hammers.

gotrocks · « **Reply #1337 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 09:12:14 AM »

Ok then no excuses for the roundup. Also its time to link the front when you do it.

Wermz84 · « **Reply #1338 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 09:34:58 AM »

Nice flex shot.

854RUN · « **Reply #1339 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 10:52:41 AM »

Thats some sick flex. What the hight on that like 45" - 50" off the ground?

MR_DIY · « **Reply #1340 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 03:47:28 PM »

I vote yota axles. no 60's. I love fullwidths but I don't see a need for strength unless you are gonna run the $3K upgraded axleshafts etc....

I love this rig. keep it up man.

but did you miss the whole part where i keep breaking toyot stuff?

53 1/2 inches to the bottom of that rear tire. all other tires on the ground. I tried pushing my truck over and i couldn't even budge it. very very stable.

I dont know any upgraded 60 shaft thats $3k, you can get 35 spline outers, u jointers and warn premium 35 spline hubs for $475

Hyena · « **Reply #1343 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 09:26:57 PM »

ya, i can get the 60 longfields for $1800 and then 35 spline hubs for not much more. maybe $3000 altogether with the housing. but i have abou that much into my toy axle for sure. the 60 would be 80 billion times stronger.

Hyena · « **Reply #1344 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 10:20:09 PM »

I just added it up, i have a little over $3000 into my axles. and pretty much every part is less then 6 months old! Everything but the highsteer, front wheel spacers, rear axleshafts and both housings. Wonder if i can get at least $2500 for them

RHG · « **Reply #1345 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 10:29:21 PM »

Its crazy how much we dump in these trucks. I started adding up roughly what I have into my truck. Ouch. Lots of dinero. But

can a toy axle ever be "unbreakable" even after heat treating this and that and upgrading everything?

Hyena · « **Reply #1346 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 10:40:22 PM »

not when you start breaking cromoly!

RHG · « **Reply #1347 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 10:42:38 PM »

hahah ya thats pretty impressive

854RUN · « **Reply #1348 on:** Apr 11, 2007, 07:48:17 AM »

53"

WOW thats like 4.5 feet, thats awesome That it is so stable even with a tire 4.5 feet off the ground $Beer Chug\'n$ $Beer Chug\'n$

MR_DIY · « **Reply #1349 on:** Apr 11, 2007, 05:36:19 PM »

I was just saying 3k b/c I knew the longs were high.
I guess if you are breaking cromo stuff you might need to go to Fullwidths. I would vote for the Fj80 axles but at this point it'd be easier to do 60's.

of course I never wheel so my toyota stuff does just fine.
