With a change of plans I started looking into the specs of the 1.3l, 1.6l 8V, and the 1.6l 16V. Each engine increases in HP and torque, but I have also heard the 8V has more bottom end torque than the 16V, and everyone knows how hard a 1.3l can be beat on before dying. However, I had to pull a...

My design template and my friends doodle… I thought I wanted to run the plate along the spring hanger but it’s not adding much of anything except weight Frame is 1/8” Fish plates are 3/16” because that’s what I could source I can add some speed holes with a plasma or hole saw. What would the...

Alright from what I recall we don't have a proper thread specifically for CVs, we've just had some good conversations in the middle of other threads. So let's do this thing. Let's collect data on basically EVERY single CV we find, even if they're irrelevant to our specific wheeling needs...

Hey guys, who here is a spindle guru on rear axles? 14b, sterling 10.25/10.5, Eaton HO72, d60, d70, d80, AAM10.5 and AAM11.5 and AAM 11.8 are all of them around the same strength spindle? I know the Eaton is different than the 14b but similar. Are the 60/70/80 the same as a 14b spindle? I...

Since a few have asked for 6l80/90 tech on my personal build thread I’ll start here. The 6l80/90 is a clutch to clutch trans which is different from the predecessors. More gears = more betters in my opinion….to a degree 1st gear - 4.03 2nd gear - 2.36 3rd gear - 1.53 4th gear - 1.15 5th gear...

So much old info out there on different leafs for samurais. Most just regurgitate "yjs or nothing" I currently have what I belive are Stock YJ rears in spua, and trail gear Sami rears up front also in spua. The front is working pretty well for my use and rides noticeably better than the rear...

I’m sure this thread won’t be nearly as popular as the 05+, but after some complaints in the other thread about muddling it with 99-04 discussion I figured at least start a small thread to consolidate info about these bastard child axles. If I quoted you or stole your info ...

I'm looking for info on the various full-time / all-wheel drive transfer cases out there. Either from a GM vehicle, or adaptable to a GM transmission. Looking for feedback on their durability in mild wheeling situations. Prefer a case with low-range. Currently planning my next project. I have a...

Buddy is LS/4L80E swapping a 78 gmc 3/4 ton. I was under it helping lay out where the 2wd floor pan needed to be cut to clearance for the trans, and noticed that he only has 3/8" to 1/4" between the floor pan and the frame, with new energy body mount bushings in place. Seems like not enough to...

Playing with this little RPC I got "free" with a machine a year or two ago. It's a 2/4 hp - 2hp starting and 4 hp max simultaneous total. I'm hooking it up to run my surface grinder and vertical bandsaw for now. But I also have a 20hp motor tucked away in the corner that I'll eventually...

If you came expecting tech, think again :flipoff2: Trying to rethink/redo some shit on my wheeling rig so i can at least drive it again, starting with the fuel system. What I currently have: 1991 Ranger, carb'd 351w, when I did the engine swap, I used a bypass regulator to regulate from the...

I broke my own rules and got froggy with my tow rig over thanksgiving and came home with a lot of slop in the steering gear. I priced out a Borgson box and shaft @ $1300ish. I plan on keeping the truck forever but am still a tightwad. Help me spend my money and effort wisely. I have a spare box...

Haven't seen any tech on this axle yet so thought I would start a thread, have done some searching and haven't come up with much all in one spot. Below is what I have found from searching on the internet the last few days, if anyone else has any details or corrections post it up. 2016+ Tacoma...

02. PO switched everything to LED lights. Been great for 5 years now. Last week, left blinker started the fast-blink-you-need-a-bulb situation. Right blinked fine but then stopped showing the indicator on the dash. BOTH blinkers were acting normal from inspection outside the vehicle. Then was...

1995 Isuzu Trooper FSM Above is a link to the IBB resource page I posted a 1995 Trooper FSM. As info on these gets harder and harder to find these days, I thought we should start a resource page in the Isuzu section. Post up your resources or links here!

I am in the planning stages to build a new frame aft of my cab mount on my 1st gen Tacoma. It's plated, has a bunch of rust holes and in general is a rusty flakey shit show, it will be easier to start fresh back there. I'm thinking 2x3 3/16, I built my front frame section out of this when I did...

I didn't find a thread based around TTB. With the truck I just picked up, Im planning to keep the D44. Normally I would pull it and throw a solid up front so I am in new territory here with the ttb. I'm open to anything to improve the front end basic or not. I'm looking at 4" drop brackets...

So spec'ing new leaf springs. What happens when they are too light for the load? When they are too heavy? (I would imagine harsh stiff ride, because no flex) So why do lift springs seems to bounce more? I would assume more bounce because they cannot carry the same load? So flex is good...

Looks like its time we need this, I was hoping it would take a bit longer, but I guess its a sign that builds are being done. So, for those asking about how their suspension numbers check out, throw it here. Preferably in the form of a screenshot of the calculator. Just trying to keep the bible...

Figured that with the talk of threads dedicated to specific tech topics, might as well get the ball rolling early. THIS IS FOR SOLID AXLES ONLY, NOT INDEPENDENT SUSPENSIONS. I will do my best to gather as much of this info below as possible. It should be noted that this is a collection of info...
