84' Toyota buggy build

[sixstringsteve]

great job on that climb! Videos never do that obstacle justice.

No, they don't it is very deceiving until you get right up to it. You can smell the gear oil that is in the dirt and you know it's bad.

 

[sabatoa1]

One down one to go!!!

New seals, new studs, new grease, dust shield eliminator, maybe tomorrow I will get to the other side.

And new shoes!!!

Are you going to do the 5th stud, or just get a beefier axle?

 

[sabatoa1]

I am dropping to a 37" tire to relieve some the stress on my high steer arms and steering knuckles. If this does not fix the problem I am just going to sell my axles and go to 60's. I do not want to 4 link it twice so I think the 4 link is going to wait until I figure out if I am staying with the yota axles or going to tons.

stay with yotas just do ruff stuff housings and FJ80 balls and shafts but use the 9.5 housing with the 9.5 thirds front and rear. Its the ultimate set up!

5th stud is cheap and easy I'd do it.

also did you go from a 39 irok
to 37 creepy?

if so it might not help.. 39 irok is light and doesn't get much traction

as for fancy Toyota axle it's not really worth itie pensive knuckles , shafts blah blblah

seth described my axle I wish I would have used the 9.5 center (with a load bolt) and 60 outers,knuckles ect and 35 spline shafts

If I had enough to buy all new parts for a 9.5 axle I would just do stock 60's.

I am going to 37" Creepy's, I think I am going to have more problems now that I am going to be running Creepy Crawlers but I cant drop the cash for a 60 right now. I have been thinking about running short course stickies for right now until I can buy a front 60.

There isn't any FJ80 longs anymore.... ~ There once was guy that built yotas... ~

 

[jinxspot]

... then he realized a stock 60 would do... hahahaha, just a little jingle that goes thru my head many times over in this sport. looks good tho luke!!!

actually they do. Nitro gear and axle, G2 and trail gear all offer fj80 front and rear shafts

TG and PolyP have 4340's too, but I was just saying you won't get any longs anymore homie and its sad to not have bobby here to rock the FJ80 world. :-(

X2 that's freaking awesome man!

Thanks

I think I will have my buggy back together by Friday. Is anyone up for a trip somewhere other than 5 mile? Like AF canyon, HTT, Delta, maybe even Sandhallow, or Moab

 

[sabatoa1]

This last weekend I went up AF canyon, and it was a great trail ride. There was a couple jeeps and my buggy that did the forest lake trail. We all made it up including a stock jeep. The trail was very beautiful with the open fields full of wild flowers and the lake at the top that looks like the most peaceful place on earth. My family had a great time going up the trail, and skipping rocks on the lake.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Nice. Check out mineral basin too, its my favorite trail up there.

 

[sabatoa1]

Maybe next time that's what we will run. My buddy Riley is trying to get his buggy finished up this week maybe test it out this weekend up there.
