Nice finger nails. :P
Axles are looking good. How many days do you think it'll take to do a swap job like that?
-
Ohhhhhh!! Did I see an e-locker in there? VERY COOL!!! ;D

DROOL

Not sure how many days.. we'll probably take our time.. but in a hurry with the setup I already have they could be in in in two weekends.
Black fingernails is leftover from Halloween :)

Yup,
both front and rear are elockers!
I'm excited!
These axles are 63.5 inches wide at wheel mounting surface. The Sidekick axles are about 57.. so will be a wider stance as well.

Yeah, both diffs are offset to the right. Works GREAT with the Kicker 3 setup ;D

God damn... so jealous. :P
Speaking of 'yota axles, what's the difference in strength between PU axles and the Landcruiser axles? How much stronger are PU axles than stock sidekick stuff?

Hum, let me see;
I think that Toyota pick-em-up trucks ~3000
Pretty sure that Toyota 4-runners ~4000 lbs
I'm positive that FJ80s are ~4600 lbs
Our trucklet is currently about 3500 lbs
Stock Sidekick is 26 splines.
Stock FJ80 is 30 splines.
As for actual torsion-al strength numbers. That might take some digging up to find out.

I was just kinda looking for a comparison to Sidekick stuf... I assume PU axles are gonna be stronger than the rear in the Sidekick, correct?
-
I hope so ;)
TrailTough will have (I hope) a kit for the SideKicks (2/4dr) next year for those people that can't fabricate (like me) for the Yota axles ;D
-
Hey, in the meantime, why don'tcha ship them thar 'yota axles over here to Michigan, Hotrod? ;D
-
Sweet 8) You've got 10 days to get them in and make the Ride ;D

BUILT is the key term.
When loaded up with camping gear this summer we tipped the scales at 4793lbs. (fully loaded) *gasp* (2011 front / 2782 rear)
I have thought about taking the torch to a lot of my 'add-ons' to take some of the weight out of it. (cutting circles out of things like bumpers, etc) I know I could have engineered some things quite a bit lighter (like the cross members for the dual cases). But I hate it when things break, especially when I could have avoided it by over building in the first place.
I'm afraid to re-weigh after these new axles and tires are on it. I bet we tip close 4000 empty, which sucks.
Good thing for gears.

the whole key to my truck working well is ground clearance and weigh. it kinda floats over stuff more than tearing into it. This spring we are going to barrow a set of 33/12.50's to test and see if more floation is what i need.

The ratio on those axles is 4.10's right? Is there lower numerical ratios you could use? 5.'s?
Just did a quick parts search for 95 LC front axles with locker, 4.10's - $ ranges from $2200 for running axles to $600 for bent axles and that's just the front.
How long has your truck been on stilts?

Yes, you can buy 4.88's as well as 5.29's.
Eh, only about a month.

(little jon voice) YEAH! 8). That will make that four door unstopible.

For the Yota trucks they have 5:71s ;D
Randys Ring and Pinions.
But what to do for the SYE ???
I hoping TrailTough has a answer for this when their kit comes out.
