What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Steer axle?

 

No... Well maybe, I didn't look under the front, I have zero interest in SAS. Already got a solid axle vehicle haha

 

Shouldn’t be an issue, just have to cut the link brackets off.

 

It’s a tundra axle shaft. And hosing mostly. The backing plates are different. (Bolt pattern)If you get the mounts all welded up it should work fine, and with a sequoia master cylinder the discs would work well. Parking brake will need custom cables devised

 

If it was a kingpin D60 it’s be worth grabbing, but it was probably an early 90’s BJ D60.

 

Fuckit, I'll buy it tomorrow

 

All full axle assemblies are only $166 from them... I bet I could still turn it out for more, but it looked heavy and well corroded to the truck. I don't like Ford's enough to endure that unless it's for my own gain

 

yea should be a regular old 8.4” diff and typically they’re 4.10 or 3.98 ratio.

almost always 4.10

 

Not bad, grab me an FJ front for $166 when you’re there next

 

It's a 4.10 which saves me time too

 

Locking it when you do all this?

 

You don't want that, it's diff is on the wrong side and it's just your stock rear end with knuckles

 

Naw, I won't spend that money on the 8.4, this is a stop gap axle. Something to let me get going. I don't expect it to last, semi floats are vulnerable to bending the shafts near the bearing.

 

Cruiser axle in the future I assume?

 

That option is available to me now. But only sorta, @drr and I are on the same page about this. The diamond housing that centers the 9.5" cruiser diff and uses the cruiser full float outer hubs is what I'm after in the long run.

 

I didn’t say which FJ
FJ40 with the front 9.5” and reverse cut gears.

 

Are 60’s on fun? Toyota Landcruiser fj60 front and rear axle

Unfortunately no. The front is an 8”, and the rear is a semi float. Kind of the worst of both worlds.

 

It’s been on there foooorever, now I know why

 

I have a soft spot for the 60 series, I had one in high school. They’re kind of worthless though, gutless 2F engine and weak axles.
