1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My buddy had a Rogue and I think the CVT blew up around 30k miles

 

Timing cover reseal?

 

Gonna need it. Advanced fast

 

Spoiled the spaz with a ride

 

Yup

 

Thought about it but decided not to. I already had the rental paid for thru tomorrow afternoon.

 

Man, even your slug has better tires than my vehicle now

 

Learning how to tune overrun is hard.

 

just go under

 

Gunshot tune bro. I'm actually just trying to figure out how to modify the rolling antilag to work and not grenade the taco. Cause I'd like to no lift shift it, but I can't risk blowing up the weak ass semi float toyota axle haha.

 

The real solution here is to just give up and donate the taco to me

 

WTF you talking about? the taco axle shafts are almost the same diameter as D60 shafts

 

The Dana 60 has left me mucho disappointed before.

Toyota diffs do like to eat pinions up

 

Yup, the R&P is the biggest weakness.

my buddy used to run toyota axles in competition buggies. Says he's only ever broken one shaft.

The truggy is rocking a welded IFS rear on 37x14.50s for the last 10 years

 

The shafts shear off all the time at the drive flange, or twist at the splines. And the diff is poorly supported and rips the pinion teeth right off. They're baby trucks and come with baby drivelines, this isn't news, it's just annoying with power.

 

How many have you personally seen shear?

I've witnessed 0 factory Toyota shaft failures in 10 years of wheeling with people on 37-40s. R&P, sure. Shafts no.

 

I've personally witnessed two broken shafts. And 1 exploded diff. They can be temporarily avoided with chromoly shafts, but you'll just find yourself bending the axle housing or putting cracks in it. And I have twisted splines (not to failure, but they're twisted and stuck) on the LC

 

To be fair, they seem to last well on the old weak 4 banger trucks that do slow rock wheeling. It's speed, power, and weight as with everything else that break em. Little rock buggies don't see the same stress

 

I’ve never seen destroyed shafts. Tons of eaten pinions. I have had a lot of bent axle shafts from off-roading around here. But never damaged to the point they wouldn’t move the truck

 

We've seen lots of bent ones too, it's a failing of semi float designs. Takes out the wheel bearing sometimes, and sometimes it takes a while to kill the bearing cause it doesn't kill the shaft seal immediately.
