Does the axle sit near the very top of the wheel hub? That's different.

 

@Speedytech7

When looking at Land Cruisers, what model and shit do you look for that would have all 3 lockers?

Probably not still available, but kinda neat I think.

 

So the axel shaft goes into the top of a portal then gears drive a shaft thats lower down which you mount the hub to so you get more gear reduction as well as ground clearnce

 

Those are gearboxes bolted on...

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

oh god my eyes....

 

Huh. That's different.

 

I think it’d be fun to cruise around in haha, maybe not with those wheels and tires though.

Its a really expensive set up but gives great gear ratio for crawling. Some military trucks have them like hummers

 

93-97 Land Cruiser FZJ80 or Lexus LX450. Just have to confirm they have the locker switch...

 

Some of the FJ62s have them too but it is very hit and miss

 

Christ that's excessive.

My buddy with an H1 showed me how you change the brake rotor, which is conveniently located behind the wheel. I think it has the same axle as that YouTube video.

 

They don’t take pictures like that on KSL haha.

Thanks

 

If you watch DED he put portals on his alabama army truck

 

Should see how early Toyota pickups and most land cruisers do rotors. Have to basically take the hub and bearings off to do them and the hub is bolted separately to the rotor.

 

The 5-lug is the same way. You have to take the hub and bearing off for some reason.

 

Plus side is bearings are dead simple, might as well do em with your brakes. Just have to learn the trick to setting your preload... And have a 54mm socket haha

 

Yeah its a big pita to do a rotor change
Ik ive done it

 

I know I’m not really contributing anything tonight but daaamn.
