Toyota, 44, or 60?

 

ATM thinking WFO radius arm kit and SD60. Not perfect performance wise but easier to setup and get back on the road than a 3 link and it will still outperform IFS and really bulletproof the front end.

Original plan was to do a KP 60 on leafs but the 05+ SD axle is cheaper and more convenient than building the KP60

 

Same but with a D44. I wont ever break it tbh. Have a 76 F150 HP 44 already with chevy outers. Still need the WFO kit and anything else you can imagine but its a start haha.

 

that's a solid start

If the driver drop 44s weren't so hard to come by I'd probably go that route but I can't see paying the prices people want and then still having to buy 30 spl chromos on top of that lol. I ran a yota/44 hybrid rear and already know I will break 19spl stuff

If I end up moving just outside of Penrose the radius arm setup would be just fine for getting around and adventure type wheeling without having to really worry about breaking front end parts. I have a trailer queen 85 to do the hardcore crawling lol

 

I did a bunch of measuring and I think it would be possible to do a JK44 on leafs but I refuse to pay 3-4k for a used front axle lol

 

@Speedytech7
Is this the same wheel you have? Just Toyota version

 

that would work, looks identical to my IS300 wheel. Think the Rav4 also used the same wheel for some years

 

Do you have to screw around with the wiring for cruise/wipers and airbag or is it all plug n play?

 

No but it would probably work with my horn button. Think they used the same wheel design for a few models. Mine is from an IS300

 

I got lucky finding mine for $100 but it was sitting face up with no diff cover for who knows how long. it cleaned up well though.

Cost of living is definitely cheaper here/there = more truck parts hahaha.

 

Not pnp for us 95-97 people, cruise is different pinout and is only pnp for 98-04. Horn works, airbag is just a quick connector swap (i unplugged mine and yanked the bulb)

 

I bought an OEM adapter to plug the airbag in..I can get the PN if you need it

95-97 cruise and wipers do not live in th wheel so I didn't have to do anything

 

cruise does

 

yeah, that's definitely a score. it aught to treat you well

I've lived in P west before, GF has a ranch outside of Penrose so if things go well the next few years job/health willing I think we'll end up living there

 

ah, I don't have it so I'm mistaken. I thought it lived in the clock spring with the intermittent wipers lol

 

No, I wish, that's how the LC does it, which seems way smarter

 

I hope it all goes to plan for you then!

I'll probably sell my house in Pwest and move to Weld County somewhere if my plan pans out too. Shall see.

 

Shit's Bitchin

 

weld county ain't so bad

Can't say I loved Pwest nor any of the neighboring cities on HW50 but being closer to off-road trails and having less neighbors sounds like a win to me lol

 

Thanks for the invite @eon_blue
