I have a Pre_Runner which is 2wd. I am going to be running a remote 82 Toyota t-case off my 2wd tranny which would put my drive shaft on the pass side. So I need something that is opposite the Waggy axle..... Thanks............. boston 4runner 01-09-2002, 08:33 PM ever think of trying a toyota axle...i got one for sale BigBadBob 01-09-2002, 09:14 PM Pre-1980 waggy axles have passenger side diffs. :flipoff2: The waggy axle is the ideal bang-for-buck solution to SAS a tacoma, regardless of the diff side you need. 44Runner 01-10-2002, 12:30 AM I would go with either a toy 8" front from like an 85 4Runner or a late 70's waggy 44. Also I was told by Marlin that the pre 85 t-case is much noiser.....just a thought :) FLTacoma 01-10-2002, 09:35 AM Originally posted by 44Runner I would go with either a toy 8" front from like an 85 4Runner or a late 70's waggy 44. Also I was told by Marlin that the pre 85 t-case is much noiser.....just a thought :) I was looking into the Toy axles but they are a little to narrow for my 98 Tacoma rear. I am probably gonna go the waggy route due to the avalibility. I am not to worried about the noise from the t-case. I am going to go trough the whole thing and rebuild everything before I put it together. I had an 82 Toy 4x4 and it wasn't too bad... Thanks for the info......... Later.......

Thanks for the offer though............... Later. Bones 01-10-2002, 10:01 AM Originally posted by boston 4runner ever think of trying a toyota axle...i got one for sale WAY to narrow, and the diff is on the wrong side. :D Karl 01-10-2002, 10:09 AM Go for a FZJ80 front axle. It is 63" WMF and has a 8.0 hp diff up front, or you could get one with an electric locker. You could pick up the axle with locker for about $1000+. But, you would have to convert the axle to leaf springs and change the steering, unless you stay with coils up front. BigBadBob 01-10-2002, 10:36 AM Originally posted by Bones WAY to narrow, and the diff is on the wrong side. :D He's converting to passenger side drop :flipoff2: However, your are right about the width. Bones 01-10-2002, 10:51 AM Oop's, at least I was half right there :D better than most of the time. FWIW, I'm changing my SAS plans from a Toyota front and getting a D44. I plan to look for a 70's Chevy. Go to Erik B's Site (http://home.off-road.com/~bibelheimer/sas.html) for a wealth of knowledge. dangerber 01-10-2002, 11:18 AM Originally posted by Bones Oop's, at least I was half right there :D better than most of the time.

Bones, just FYI, I found my D44 from a '73 Suburban in a bone yard up here for $100, so there are still good deals on D44s out there!! :D Bones 01-10-2002, 12:02 PM Originally posted by dangerber Bones, just FYI, I found my D44 from a '73 Suburban in a bone yard up here for $100, so there are still good deals on D44s out there!! :D Thanks Dan. I hope to get out Sat. and look around, but a few close real early on Sat. :mad3: So I might just catch a cold next week someday. :D dangerber 01-10-2002, 12:12 PM Originally posted by Bones Thanks Dan.

One of those "D44 flu" breakouts?!! :D FLTacoma 01-10-2002, 12:57 PM Originally posted by dangerber Haha! One of those "D44 flu" breakouts?!! :D Yea, I think I am gonna have one of those D44's sickness for atleast 1 day and maybe a Toy t-case and steering sickness the next day..

Not too worried about going to leafs because I would have to move to perchs anyways to match my frame rails. Not too bad of a price, but not many of those axles in Florida. Do the FZJ80's have the Birfields?? Like the rest of the Toyota axles??? Later.......... Karl 01-10-2002, 01:13 PM Yes, they do have birfields but they are much larger than the ones in the minitruck. FZJ80 axle is a full time axle under a much larger vehicle.

FZJ80 axle is a full time axle under a much larger vehicle. I would love to go that route, but I doubt that any of the parts yards around here would have anything like that. It is gonna be pretty much Chevy, Ford trucks in most. Later....... | |
