Mikes transmission in Issaquah, he's done a couple of differentials and built a trans for my last ford.

Done that with a bottle of beer once, basically wound up being a mini pipe bomb...

I wheeled a full size for years. Didn't take long to destroy every panel on that truck. Went through a couple windows, a mirror. It's not ideal... Save the full size for the towing and invest in a yota or jeep. You'll enjoy it a lot more.

Fire danger or not, shooting aimlessly into the dark when yer tanked is far from being a responsible wheeler, outdoorsman... Adult...

I'm curious what the outcome of this encounter was.

Awesome budget build chop shop, thanks for pointing me here.

Why is that...? How do I determine how far forward is proper if I'm still runnjng the stock driveline?

Awesome thanks guys!! Im still rebuilding the axle, waiting on the new rotors and the shackle mounts. I'll post some pics once I start tearing into it.

I'm posting for a buddy, he has a '99 Tacoma and needs to replace the passenger side window. They're electric windows, and he already has the replacement. He is looking for pointers on actually doing the swap. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought a couple of Toyota axles this weekend at the swap meet, and they came with leafs. They def look like they're aftermarket, but I can't tell how much if any lift they give. Is the best way to just mount them and see what I end up with?

Awesome will do. Anything I should watch for/be concerned with when moving everything all the way forward?

Haha, thanks chop shop. I'm of the mind set EVERYTHING will taste better with a solid axle. Well, almost everything... Should I try and mount the axle as far forward as possible with the anticipation of cutting fenders and a possible new driveline?

You may steal the woods from us but you cannot take the bonds of friendship we have built from playing/camping/breaking/fixing/flat out wheeling in the woods. Well put.

Picked up a front axle this weekend with a matching rear both Toyota axles at 4:88. Bout time to tear into getting rid of the pesky IFS, but this the first time I've tackled this on my own. Anybody got any good pointers suggestions for me? I'm sticking with leafs for now, the axles came with...
