1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

What axle do most people use for SASing? I know that’s loaded question.

 

Most of the ones I see in person are a 85-older Mini truck front or Wagoneer 44 front.

 

Under a tacoma the mini truck front is really only safe with 35s an a wagoneer 44 to 37s. I break enough chit that I figured I would go to the 60 and be done for a while

 

Not a closed knuckle dana 60. The stock IFS is probably just as strong as that axle.

I used an fj60 axle for mine. 9.5" diff and mini truck outers so you have the best of both worlds. I should have went d60 because the turning radius blows with toyota axles, but I always wanted to build a toyota axle for my own shits and giggles. Not worried at all about breaking it with 37s.

 

depends on tire size in the end right? u said those two youd be with like 35s 37s, but for the tons or d60's u can go for the big 40's?

 

aware us all pls

 

ah im dummy mb ignore me

 

Assuming nothing special I would steal the gears and throw them in the spare parts shelf

 

correct, you should consider desired tire size when looking at axles

 

Some of those early dana axles have some funky shit going on with them.

 

False it's lift height and TW likes because SAS.

 

@esxcli used Dana 60 ton axles front and rear on his. You could easily start with a Dana 44 front just to get the basics done.

 

hey guys going to 6" fabtech 3" body will 37s on 20x12s fit???

 

Ima just buy a gladiator and put one tons under it.


Unless they already got that, have no knowledge about axles.

 

Thank you. Im rly considering wagoneer 44 sas on the 5 lug instead of LT with the long term goal on the truck. Will prolly consult u for wisdom and others when that time comes

 

Too bad it’s across an ocean

 

I don't want to have to trim the fenders

That lift combo describes most of the trucks and toyotas I have seen down here in NC. The other side is RTT and LED light bars on them.

 

And they're drums front and rear, the cost to convert that is many times what they're worth. Given the age, probably low spline count too

Yeti/RTIC/etc lifestyle brand stickers
Raptor lights in grille

axle splines are like women. No fun when they're 19 and broken
