    Here we have a 2008 Tundra 5.7 4x4 that lived in New York for some time. Made it's way down to Florida and was tagged and driving up until maybe 2 years ago when the brake lines finally rusted apart and locked up. My buddy bought the truck for $1k and we found a set of 4.30 leaf spring Super...

    Toy axle brake setup?

    What is the standard brake setup for Toyota axles on a samurai in 2024? 33-35" tires, will be street driven. I ordered fj60 rotors and want to keep the Toyota drums out back. I'm trying to decide if I should order 4cyl or v6 calipers? Do I need a different master cylinder? Is everyone still...

    Axle truss tech

    Maybe I havent searched hard enough, but I'm not finding answers to my questions regarding the ins and outs of an axle truss. I see the aftermarket make nice looking blingie units. But to me, it seems like the designer was an expert in CAD and not fabricating or wheeling ( just my asshat opinion...

  6. Axle Housing Warp, How Much Is Too Much?

    Did a bunch of welding on a 2004 Sterling 10.5. Looking down the tube from one side it appears it may be warped very slightly. Using a digital angle finder I found the tubes on each side were bent up 0.3°. Is that okay to run, or should I fix it? If I were to fix it my plan is to weld a ~3”...

    2nd gen 4runner SAS jig placement?

    Got a Skys SAS kit I'm going to be putting on my 4runner, just have a question about jig placement for cutting the hole for the frame tubes. From what I have gathered online there is a little "window" in the frame under the body mount where as my 2nd gen 4runner has a little plate over it that...

    Solid axle Knuckle ball chewed up inside, okay to use?

    I bought a complete solid axle a bit ago and got into tearing it down yesterday. Noticed inside one of the balls that it appears to have been chewed up a pretty good amount, atleast with comparing to pics/videos I can find. Just wondering if it's still smart to run this or should I find a new...

    ...musical MIG wire...

    So I'm preparing to weld a set of trusses to a D60 front and 14b rear. I got some high-nickel MIG wire for the center sections (nodular iron/cast steel whatever it really is) and my question is can the high-nickel wire be used on the tubes as well...or is nickel wire not as awesome for the mild...

    What is today's equivalent "Explorer F8.8" axle swap?

    Or are the Ford Exploder F8.8 still the way to go for an "install & forget it" budget build? If not, what are they? I initially wanted to buy a basic TJ rear axle swap weld-on brackets to transplant my XJ's C8.25 in my TJ, but the C8.25 housing is bent (center section bent toward back, hubs...

    IFS GM gears in Dodge AAM 9.25 front axle

    I'm trying to put 5.38s in a 2005 Dodge 2500 9.25 axle. My understanding is you need a spacer to run IFS GM front gears to get this ratio. No big deal. But I happen to have 4 or 5 9.25 IFS front diffs laying around. Can I just steal the carrier from one of those to avoid a spacer? If I buy a new...
  16. Rear axle spindle tech

    Hey guys, who here is a spindle guru on rear axles? 14b, sterling 10.25/10.5, Eaton HO72, d60, d70, d80, AAM10.5 and AAM11.5 and AAM 11.8 are all of them around the same strength spindle? I know the Eaton is different than the 14b but similar. Are the 60/70/80 the same as a 14b spindle? I...

  18. 2016 f-550 front axle convert from 10 lug to 8 lug possible?

    Looking at possibly getting a 2016 f550 4x4 and would want to use the axles in a dentside for project BUY they're factory 10 lug and I'd want to go to 8 lug for normal wheel and tire choices. Or would I be better off selling the axles and buying f350 axles. Axle strength isn't my concern since...

    I’m a total rc newb and took a couple in on trade. The previous owner/ builder knows his stuff and I’ve always considered them to be bulletproof….. However I drive with restraint and my “full send” 9 year old does not. When one wheel went dead yesterday, my thoughts went to a portal gear...

    Benefits of spread axle?

    Learn me. Trailer is about to go through some repairs. Mainly building some drive over fenders out of 8" c channel. Spread axle seems to be all the rage these days, and I can see an advantage with weight distribution. I can buy an equalizer of varrying lengths. Should move the rear axle...
