alright finally got my soa done on my rig and my front driveshaft isnt long enough and it hits the crossmember. should i get a cv driveshaft or keep the one i got and just get it lengthen and notch the crossmember???? i will also get pics of it this weekend for all of yall out there!!!!

I aint going to say shit till you post pictures.

what angle is your pinion at, is it in line with your tcase or pointed at your tcase? Dude, this is pretty basic :p

X2

If history is any kind of indicator.........

it is in line with my t case not pointed at it!

uhhh, search?

Cut and turn and run CV. Then go get an automatic XJ shaft or one from a 77 down chevy and shorten it.

it is in line with my t case not pointed at it!

then ya don't need a cv, Check out tom woods site for diagrams

I may have a d-shaft that would work for you if you are running 1310 stuff and you have a D20 t-case. Yeah, I know, that may not be you at all.

I SOAd my 800 and tried to run a non-CV shaft but I had to do a cut and turn. This shaft uses a Toy top joint (higher working angle) and is longer than stock. I was SOA on 2.5" lift springs and I pushed the axle forward 1".

Now...I would be very surprised if you can get away without a cut and turn unless your t-case is moved back (doubler) or you really pushed the front axle forward. The Scout front shaft length is pretty short. I could not get full d-shaft rotation during droop without binding the upper joint.

You may be able to use a Tom Woods offset u-joint to get out of a bind.

...my front driveshaft isnt long enough...

I'm sorry, I just can't let an opportunity for a "That's what she said" joke go to waste.

WOW!!:shocked::idea::eek: And that NOT the same thing we say to every time someone has a SOA question :shocked:


Not picking on you mtroy... its more directed at BBRRAATT and all the rest of the newbies that don't want to 'take the effort' of doing it right and performing a cut-n-turn... plus BBRRAATT has a bit of a reputation here, hence binderbounds comment.

I'm waiting for an EAT SHEET AND DIE FAGGOT post now :flipoff2:

EAT SHEET AND DIE FAGGOT :flipoff: <---(this bitch is ANGRY!!)

Eat a knife.
Find some traffic to play in.
And most importantly, drink bleach, lots of it.

ok il drink sum bleach but i just dont have the time to do a cut and turn much less actually spend time cutting and turning a d27 WTF haha soo a offset u joint should get me out of a bind + Notch the subframe??? maby you all can post sum pics im trying to post ome pics of the rig as it sits now but my camera isnt working i will post as soon as i can though!

These kind of posts are for the BB not a ''hardcore'' 4x4 site like pirate :shaking: We need some fucking real tech :flipoff2:

you guys are mean...maybe i wont post my fender flare install thread:flipoff2:

You SOA'd a D27?

You SOA'd a D27?


It's the latest thing. Someone realized they are an extremely tough axle and they have just been getting a bad rap all these years. :shaking:

You SOA'd a D27?
Ya.


Because IIRC he didn't have the time or money (or was too lazy) to swap in a real axle.

IIRC when he first started posting here EVERYONE of us, with a couple possible exceptions said save the time and money and don't use the D27, but he didn't listen. Now he 'doesn't have the time' to do a cut-n-turn.... even though in the time it has taken him to make and check this thread he could have done it.


Would be even easier with a D44 or open knuckle D30 :rolleyes:


for those of you unaware, that might give some insight into his 'treatment' in this thread.

BBRRAATTT, we told you from the begin that you needed to do a cut-n-turn... now you see why :shaking:

go get some trailer leaf spring perches and weld them onto the 27 and the springs so you don't need bolts, it'll be fine.

Then get back on your snowmobile and play in traffic.

I'm lost then. Why does he need the cut and turn for just an SOA? I ran mine for years SOA on a 27F( :flipoff2: ) with no need for crossmember mods or CV's or anything else. I did need a new longer drive shaft, but thats a no brainer. It drove fine and wheeled decent. I have a funny feeling we're not getting the full story or somebody jammed a pencil in his ear hole when he was little:D

I SOA'd a d27 so I could mall crawl :flipoff2: The stock d-shaft bolted right in.

For the lazy...

I think I'm going to be ill...

Thanks for putting up pics that dont show your problem either :shaking:

FOR the lazy ???????:confused: ohhh sorry no problems after spring sag just need a longer front D-shaft boutta get some 35 in tires and new shocks going to be a compete rebuild!!!

When I added 37"s to my 1100D it wouldn't stop for shit.
That's after I rebuilt all the brakes. New hoses, springs, shoes, calipers, and drums.
It was ok for casual driving, but emergency stops were almost out of the question.

Redue your work with a Dana 44. Fuck, you should have at least pressure washed that bitch first.:shaking:

I am a huge fan of the spring to axle mounting setup. Is that from blue torch or superlift?
