[4RunnerKid]

your stock birfs are going to love that spool...

looking forward to the build.

[86GAToy]

yea they are !!! lol im contemplating on getting some longs but gotta learn more bout it first...i may get hydro assist...but im a high school sophmore with a 500 buck monthly budget

[the-t-man]

i would send some birfs up here to bc canada and get them smurfed, best bang for your buck...then go longs..if your on a budget..

[86GAToy]

is there a website about that t-man ?

[86GAToy]

heres my tires : my camera is dead as of now so ill get pics of the axle in its current status soon

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/86GAtoy/100_0607.jpg

they're 35x12.5x15 mickey thompson baja claw radials, old but good enough to save me some cash

Either leave the front open and the Aussie in the rear

or

Spool in the rear with Aussie in the front.

With the spool in the front it will want to go straight, not turn. With the Aussie in the front at least it will have a chance to unlock if not under load.

If you build your suspension soft enough you should be fine most of the time with an open front

Of course with those tires just spool the rear, not much more left to scrub off on the street.

[86GAToy]

those tires are only gonna be on there for a short period of time any way

[86GAToy]

gotta love them stock birfs

and thats all for now

[86GAToy]

BTW seeing how my axle is a 79' am i gonna need the triple drilled flange thing to use a square shaft im making ?

[the-t-man]

yea i would spool the rear and use like a lockrite for the front or aussie.heres travis website www.trdv.ca/offroad its a cheap alternative to longs for now shipping might be a couple bucks though??

[86GAToy]

i really dont want to spool the rear cause im gonna run bias tsls or radial trxxus m/ts and a spool in the rear = buying rear tires ALOT

[86GAToy]

what ch'all think bout the guinea pig fo this project

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/86GAtoy/100_0982.jpg

rear flexes "ok" with rancho 3'' springs back there

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/86GAtoy/100_0983.jpg

this was the first time i flexed the rear out on a loading dock or any thing for that matter and for me to have NO weight back there what so ever it did pretty good i thought

[toy4x4boy]

Tire's not off the ground yet, should be able to get more than that.

[86GAToy]

yea i can but my tire had about 4'' before it slipped off and i f**ked something up

[86GAToy]
