looks like it broke...

are you using tuff country air shocks on that? I'm jealous, not only are you getting to build the rig, but I bet since your company is a sponsor time off for the event and gas money isn't a big deal :rolleyes: I bet that will be a great time, regardless of where the trip take you.

why doesn't he use dana 44's? Those are all the rage I hear. looks really cool:)

I just thought I'd give you a hard time:) I can understand the expense if you have to pay to have it all done. Maybe you can plant a money tree at your new house.

ya I remember a tread a while back about 60 vs 44, 44 is better cause I never break:) sounds like a fun and really dirty weekend:)

I have 5" Alcans in mine, I sent them back to Alcan last spring to get them re-arched. They added a leaf and whatever else they did. They've been fine for me, I think they've lost a little lift but thats fine with me. I think it cost around 150 bucks to have done, and I figure for an extra year...

I've had mine for a year now, and yes I've heard all the horror stories too. I never thought I would own one and then I broke an inner shaft, that broke my birfield and hub and my front detroit all at once. So when I built my 60, I decided to go ARB. The only issue I've had in the first year is...

I just got mine too, I think it'll look really nice installed, definately make it easier to winch!

we dropped in through the entrance waterfalls. We ran Patriot to the top, and a buggy exploded the rear end, so we turned around at the top and ran it backwards, and climbed out the entrance. Lots of fun that way, its a MUCH different trail coming down. I flopped it over the driver front...

Patriot, part of the Independence system in Penrose, CO.

here's a couple more from this weekend one more

I have not, I have no need to. I know that 1/2 ton stuff is cheaper. Again, its a whole nother argument. I took the time to list out exactly what I put into mine, both equipment and dollars, and subtract out what I sold. My only point was that when you weigh what it cost to build Toyota...

I know, and a 44 isn't a whole lot cheaper unless its in stock form. gears are about the same, lockers aren't much less, brakes and bearings aren't much less, ctms or randys u-joints and alloy shafts are not very cheap, how much less are hubs?

no offense Hickey but add up what it'll cost to build a 44, then add up a 60, I thought at least the choice was pretty clear. I still don't get people building them, but thats another argument. I've never had 21 spline t-cases, only 23. I can't speak for how well they'd hold up, I only know...

23 spline throughout. I'm really not concerned about it. I've used and abused it for several years with no failures. I'm going to put in a used one and run it. I figure if it breaks again, I'll get an upgraded shaft from Marlin or Advance, otherwise I'm not really worried. After it broke I...

On a side note, I ran all last year with zero breakage. I ran Moab, Montrose, Penrose, and various trails in between. I snapped a sector shaft on my box recently, and I have since fixed that with a new box and a 2" ram assist. Last time out I was wedged pretty good, standing on the nose backing...

Summer before last I broke my Toy front end, one Long, one inner, one R&P, one Detroit, all at once. I started adding up what a high pinion ARB would cost, and then I thought about what a 60 would cost, and by the time it was all done, I've got a 60 front and rear(rear is FF 35 spline too) and...

When I put discs on my FF 60, I got weld on brackets from www.AA-mfg.com and I used rotors from a mid 70's chevy 3.4 ton(8 lug) and then calipers from a mid 70's 1/2 ton chevy. For lines I just went to pick n pull and got some rubber lines from the front of an old chevy. HTH

5.38 and you'll be happy. :) I've got 5.86 but its on 40's and its still slow to move out of its own way :eek2:

Hmmm....I'll play, here's a couple of my Toyota. and one more
