This is true too, the lil axles just don't hold up well on the newer bigger yotas from what I've seen. Best to build stuff to where the weak point is an easy fix

 

Mostly just crawl, but might as well get something that lasts

 

What's a good axle ? Thinking of keeping it simple with leafs. I do have the limo so it's a bit heavier.

 

Dana 60 out of a full size ford

 

So I guess I need a front and rear 8 lug?

 

U can get the axles re drilled for 6 on 5.5

 

Yeah, might just keep the 8 lug. If I go that route. Rebuild the used axles with new guts and lockers. Try to keep it some what oem so I can just drive to the local store for parts.


I can go ask the guy at the auto parts store what I have, yeah I need a chrome molly driver side axle 8 lug for my 2008 toyota tacoma trd sport, 4.0l v6.

 

Go for it bro we only live once do what you like while still can afford don't wait till 60 and regret

 

Go big or home!!!!!!

 

Well got bored and drove to work to get my weight. Wet weight @ 31 gallons of fuel, bumper, tires, wheels, lift, and the accessories in the bed, that's an additional 1100-1200lbs from stock. Not too bad.

Gross


Front axle


Rear axle

 

@Bchengy trucks looking good

 

Anybody know anyone selling a 2.7 motor? Mine took a crap on me after a mishap on seafoam treatment. I will forever hate seafoam from now on and I did hate it at first, but gave it the benefit of a doubt.

I have my motorcycle to roll with for awhile, so I'm figuring might as well find a cheap 2.7 or straight to diesel swap.

 

Bald mountain run tomorrow. Meeting in Prather at the Shell gas station at 6pm
