Long Travel BS Thread

Ok thanks!!!! I'll deffenly look around! If I run across anything I'll hit you up to see what you think. I'm still new at rear end stuff.A Lot of homework to do.

 

whats wrong with your 8.4? cant gusset it like Jason did his tundra axle and call it a day? I bet you can find a cheap tundra axle Ray your not looking hard enough or in the right places. In all reality, your looking to go lt right? "cheap" and LT don't really go hand in hand from what I gather

 

What's wrong with something like this?

Have them weld a truss on it, they can weld perches at whatever measurements? Just tell them what you want and they'll do it. You can always do the shock tabs and such Yourself, as long as they truss it!

As far as Ruffstuff goes they cant do shit! They don't do tabs, mounts, ends or nothing on them! They have another near by shop do it for them. I'd buy from someone that actually specializes in putting axles together. They had troubles with their axles back in the day when they were doing them themselves. Maybe nowadays they have it figured out?

Plus you should be able to get by with a 8.4. If you can't, spend the coin once and get something good!

 

Ok I was unaware about ruff stuff. And Jace your right I'm probably not looking in the right places. One tundra axle I found here on Craig's the guy wanted 750.. Way to much for it in my opinion. I'll keep looking around. And there is nothing wrong with my 8.4 just the fact it doesn't have a locker and it's only at 60" instead of 66" where I need to be. And with the cash I'm not to concerned about cheap but I'm not going to throw money away.

 

Truck is going up for sale in about a month if anyone is interested. I need a Tundra 4x4 LT to carry 3 kiddos now...so if anyone is serious about buying my Tacoma let me know.

 

I bought a tundra axle for $300. Deals are out there just gotta spend time looking

 

was that a full drum to drum axle with a third member? if it has low mileage and isn't rusted to hell and no diff problems, I wouldn't think 700 is all that much? have you talked to yoda JIM? or yota yard here in town?

 

Hahahahaha

Was thinking the same

 

Yeah I have Jasons build pages 84-86 bookmarked for when I'm ready.

Yoda Jim i've never herd of, I'll look it up. Yoda yard was my next place to check out. That 700 is no longer available. There are two more I found 600 and a LSD one for 800. I'll just keep looking but thanks for those leads Jace.

 

an lsd one would be nice if you don't plan on adding a locker. it would get you by for some time im sure

 

That price is pretty rare. Those pop up about once every other year. Took me a few years to find mine at a good deal.

 

Just found a housing at Jims for 250. Thanks Jace! and I'm getting a diff with locker and new gears from east coast gear supply when I get the cash.

 

I've purchased over half dozen or so Toyota axles whether it be, e-lockers, the "8.4", standard 8.0", and mini truck 7.5" axles from a junk yard. Never paid more than $300 for an axle.

 

Maybe just inland empire area people can jack up the price higher for them. But yeah I never had to pay over 300 either just took me a while to find that price that wasn't a piece of crap axle.

 

I don't feel bad paying $300 for it being 4.56, factory lsd, came with ebrake lines, drive shaft, brake lines and local to me.

I payed way more for things that were a huge mistake.

 

Pretty nice 1st Gen. Any one got 45k laying around?
