4x4 North

Have had this thing just over a year without even ordering any parts for it. I remedied that last week by ordering a Toyota axle swap kit for it

I dont have a set plan for this one except that Im going too use a toyota mini truck axle in the front. rear is too be determined still. will be a toyota axle of some sort.

so bought a 8.4 tundra diff today with the idea of making a offset rear diff out of it.

so quick specs

tundra 8.4 inch
wms 66.5
30 spline
uses same carrier bearings as a minitruck diff

mini truck 8 inch
wms 55
30 spline
uses same carrier bearings as tundra diff

going with the fact toyota is famous for not changing something if it works. Could I chopped the passenger side down to install a mini truck axle shaft and narrow it down too say a 58 ish width

My other thought is could i make a short shaft off of a landcruiser work by swapping the bearing retainer ?

This intrigues me... I think if the bearing retainer likes up run it

Sky off-road used to do something similar with early ifs housings and moser would cut the passenger side axle shaft if using just a non ifs passenger side axle shaft wasn’t enough offset

Yes that would work.
8", 8.4" and 9.5 shafts are all the same splines. Just find a shaft that's the right length and go for it.
Also the same as Ford Dana 60 rear shafts...

if this was going to be another buggy they would already be under there. this is going to be a more street friendly build. something I can take too the mall and intimidate the all the gay-k owners.

Started stripping down a parts diff last night
