Idaho BS thread in the PNW

yea if an axle shaft got shoved into it..it'll be fucked.

 

The splines should be the same as long as its the same gear ratio. What is it? 32 spline?

 

Oh yeah! haha Is the axle even bent? It is possible to bend the housing with out bending the axle. I think that is all Jberry did when he bent his housing. If the guy continued to drive on the bent housing there could be damage to the 3rd though, but likely nothing critical unless the side gears and shift are blown up....

 

30 spline I think.

 

That is what ill hopefully be able to find out tomorrow. Ill see if i can go and rip the axle out and pull the third and see if the axle shaft le fucked up the third. I have lead on a couple housings ill have to call tomorrow.

 

Haha since Ben is putting out some lockrite info, i will too. I think im sold on it.

 

you guys make it seem like it's a lot of extra work...it's really not that bad. If I can do a little bit of driving and a bit of digging I can get a select-able locker for half the price of an arb and the same price as a lunch box. To me I want to select-able, so ill put in extra time to get that to happen.

I bet my auction truck sells for more than I want tomorrow, so my next plan of action is to go move on with finding out about this bent rear and third.

 

The thing is you havent even thought about the ecu and wiring. If you cant get it with the trd truck. The project just got a whole lot more expensive

I'll bet he could get it to work with just some power and the switch. Hard to say though. If the locker runs on 12v he will be fine but if the ecu drops the voltage for it he might have to get really creative

 

So random question, but how is Mark doing? I dont recall hearing about the Rasin recently. Still have plans for truggy or rebuild?

 

Lol I think that your right on that one. And doesn't he have an auto? If he does then the lunchbox lockers drive better cause they maintain a bit of power to the wheels. I was driving my jeep at 75 through a Nebraskan rain storm and never lost traction once. Btw was in 4wd all the time and running BFG A/Ts. 45k of daily driven miles with multiple cross country trips am a FUCKED UP viscous coupler. Granted it drove better when I "converted" my jeep to 2wd but it drove fine with either.

He can bypass the ecu an run it directly off a switch. There is a write up on T4R about it cause 4Runner guys with 01-02 runners swap them in.

Lol I was wondering if that was going to show up here good review and explanation

 

you have to wire it right though, if you hook it up just to a battery and run current to it it can fuck it up.

and i got my answer on axle shafts looks like I need a new one of these fuckers.

well fuck, looks like I got my answer. Need new axle shafts as well.

the 8.4 shaft is 28.25 and the 8" is 26.75




SO...

TRD housing
250

Bent TRD rear and wiring and switch (for third)
100

4.56 gears
100

rebuild kit
50

axle shaft
75

=575 for locked rear

 

Hey you forgot the $30 min for gear fluid.

 

whatever. just throw that on there lol

guy in 1st gen section said he swapped his 8.4" shafts to the 8" and they are the same length and spline. so i is confused lol. fucking complicated shit

 

Well since your going this route one way or another, then here you go for some info that helps

cant say i didn't do anything for you lol

 

hey, im pretty excited to take on a project like this! The conflicting information and constant unknowns just worry me a tad haha. I hope to god it comes into fruition like im planning! This is the kind of shit that separates the "what kind of wheels for mah lift brah" people from the more serious off roaders. If someone says it can't shouldn't be done...keep trying! Unlike my bumper, im on a mission to prove you all wrong lol.

Thank god I have andy tho! If not id be up shit creek with a fucked up TRD axle.

Now crossing mah fingers the third is good.

 

you guys are so awesome! Thanks for the help



if plan c fails as well...then guess im destined to never have a locker lol

 

I would do so many things to and with jenna

 

sounded a little rapey

and the internet is a small place

if she ever saw that, and took offense, i would not feel good.


this way, theres still a chance...
