Hey guys-just checking in---Beau was kind enough to drop off his unit and axles for us so we can make the necessary changes---the original axles that we mocked up with were axles we had laying around/ford axles---no one had the Toyota axles and the ones we used where a LOT longer and made the angle/CV plunge/overall arc much better/safer. These axles have a large cup before the axle start's and caused the pivot to move outboard steepening the angle. For Beau's unit/2WD guys we've already assembled it's just lengthening the mounts to the chassis and moving the pivots up. The 4WD guys will be impacted less as I hadn't made the "legs" from the bases that go to the frame. I'm off through the 5TH, but will finish up Beaus unit when we return and expedite the rest-happy holidays!

Wish yall lived closer, this would be and awesome part to have a hand in. It's awesome work sir, Usually if you use the st205 axles you don't need spacers, plus st205 is a beefier setup. Unless they are st205? Anywho, awesome work dude looks sweet.Not What you build, But HOW.

Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...Comment

The BG and BF both came fwd and awd... Same chassis different rear setup, Shouldn't the mounting be the same for the subframe? Or did a boeing 737 fly way over my head?Originally posted by Iantboyd View PostBe an ass all you want.
