Would their be a downside to converting to a gear driven case? Any problems with driving at high speeds in 4Hi? Like 70+ mph?

 

I drove all the way home from moab with it that way and haven't had any issues yet. Might just way to fix it till I get back from az...

 

I had mine done a few months ago and it was same day zervice...by sleeved you mean re tubed right? Then if that's the case then 800 bucks is absurd like smoking crack absurd.

The first time I had it re tube it was same day but I had to make an appointment a few days in advance.

try calling Randy driveshaft/driveline service in azusa. he's done my crawler and tacoma and he's done Ryans as well.

 

thats who I talked to. Yeah he said he can do it but he is busy right now and not taking appointments. The $800 is for a brand new drive shaft

 

gotcha

 

I think I will take my chances and leave it for now. I definitely will get it retubed but if its waited this long hopefully it can wait a little bit longer.

 

I have gear driving cases in the taco..no issues with the abuses lmao. 60 mph in 4h is as fast as I can get the crawler on a flat lake bed

but no, you'll have no issues for a DD. All it is is a Lefty tcase knock off

 

The dent is all the way at the end of the DS right?

 

I see. That seems like a better alternative to swapping in an FJ case and a crawlbox. I would only need the one case instead of 2.

 

oops...I meant...I have gear driven gears in the crawler :doh:

 

I figured that's what you meant when the next sentence said the crawler can't break 60. Haha


When I hit the dunes I through it in 4Hi and lock the rear and never touch it. I'll hit top out 3rd gear here and there but I usually don't shift above 2nd (redlines at about 50 mph).

I only use the front locker if I get a little hung up and come to a stop. When going fast I've felt like the front locker is too much extra load on the motor.

 

Yeah

 

dents a lot smaller than I remember. do the internal parts even hit that far back on the driveshafts?

 

I thought that last section is just lube...but don't know how much of it is.

 

ok so between the flange yoke and the cap at the end of the splined yoke sleeve, isnt' there an empty space for lube? or maybe I just have the understanding of driveshafts all wrong?

 

GLamis YO!!!

 

NIFTY

 

i thought so.
