Tossed a long side inner Saturday. Didn't even hear it break. I really don't want to loose my 50* steering but I'm real sick of breaking shafts. This one trashed some CTM caps and the outer is roached as well.

40 spline and 1550 time then?

Doubtful, R+P will be the weak link then. Gonna talk to Branik and see what they say. I split the inner yoke like that on every one. Kinda feel this shouldn't be a issue with a 4cylinder.

or reduce steering angle, and if so how much?

My inner turns 47 and out 45. Honestly reducing steering angle has it's own issues as well.
 
wow 4 cyl.... are just getting crazy bound up. so to run CTMs do you have to grind out the shaft yoke to make the clearance for 50 degrees steering?

limit the front to turn 37-40* but add rear steer to also get 37-40* out back :flipoff2:

Eew, why would I do that? So I break shafts on both ends? I have zero interest in a rear steer car and certainly none in adding it to this one.

I'm actually pretty good about not binding it up especially not turned sharp. Rarely do I use my doubler, it's more so I have stock low and 4.7 low. My shafts are machined to turn further. The joint really doesn't matter. I ran Spicers with shafts like this before they still need to be machined so the yoke clears.

Toyota case? Just curious how it's holding up after breaking 300M shafts. I'm going to be running 1480 Yukons and 4340s with a dual 23 spline Marlin with 4.7s in the rear case.....but wondering if I should be looking at a beefed D300.

Yup, old dual Toyota gear driven. 4.7 gears from Inch worm, TG adapter, FROR twin stick, Bobby treated a rear output for me and all 21spline. It's had a long hard life but holding so far. I've never run 300m stuff. I've broken a ton of stuff over the years though with that setup. I run 40" stickies and 5.38s and has been fine.

I always felt the people running stock axle gears were the ones breaking cases.

I'm running a 21 spline 2.28 box to a 5.0 Atlas in my 1st buggy with the 22re and W56 with 40" stickies and 5.86s. Broke a couple D60 4340 shafts....no issues either. This next build is 23 spline but Toy cases and D60/14B with 40" regular tires and 5.38s. I doubt it will see that much abuse since it's a full bodied 4Runner.

It seems if you can cushion the cases enough with downstream gearing they hold up. Anytime toyota axle guys kill a toyota case they have like 4.10s or 4.56s in the diffs. 5.29 guys seem to keep cases together.

Then the 1 ton axle toyota case guys seem to do ok with 5.38s. Ive never heard of someone killing a toyota case with 6.17s or 7.17s in the diff.

I have a buddy who killed the rear output on his toyota case with 5.38s and sticky 43s. super bound up and SNAP. I wonder if it had 6.17s or 7.17s if it would have lived.

I bet the 5.0 atlas really helps cushion the 2.28 box up front.
 
Stock rear outputs aren't all that strong. That's why they make a few different chromo options.

But yes, lower gears down stream will always help.
I kinda feel like I'm at a point where I break an output, I don't really want to spend the money on a chromoly output in its place and I should just go to a beefed up D300 or Atlas. Any idea how much stronger the chromo outputs are than factory? Are we talking 30% or something markedly higher?
