Added a truss and pinion guard to the 14 bolt

Had these turned for the rear mount for the front winch

wheel base is 114ish and the roof is 74.5 inches. with the current tire and wheel combo im 75 inches wide which is perfect for the trails here. ive got another set of bead locks that i may use that will get me about a 1.5 inches wider

Anyone know of a cheap option for a carrier bearing hard to swallow the price of the Tmr customs one

Sluggy had a thread about building his own. I looked but can't find it

Home brew 2 piece driveshaft

So after upgrading my toy cases to np241/d300 doubler my rear driveline is now 54" fully collapsed. I thought about just making a straight driveline but it just hangs down way too low. So I'm now building this setup with hopes of no issues. FYI this is for my buggy "low speed" Parts used...

Been working good for me so far.

thanks for the info

from my understanding i can use a 2000s super duty front drive shaft for the rear 14 bolt and just cut the double cardan off and slide it into the landcruiser tube and use the stock landcruiser yoke and flange on the tcase side

My concern is that with the tcase so clocked off to one side is that I’m going to have to have a double cardan

Why not just grab a toyota flange for the 14b and run all toyota shafts?

Fwiw, I've ran both offset tcase/centered axle and offset axle/centered tcase with little issue. The drive shaft doesn't know an up angle from a side angle, so as long as there isn't crazy angles it will be fine.

landcruiser flanges are much bigger then mini truck stuff

ive done the same and this has much better angles then anything ive run in the past

Ya, doesn't look bad at all to me.

clocked the window motor to clear the crossbar

pulled the arcdroid out and cut the lower winch plate. I was fighting a programming issue . So the first one ,before I reinstalled the latest update I had was-all nicely radiused corners, but it actually didn’t pierce. So with everything reset and me just wanting to get it to work I didn’t bother with doing that. Meh you’ll only see it if I’m on my roof anyways

 

[PointsNorth]

Spent some time getting a few things tweaked on the arcdroid. Now to get some more plate too cut out the new rear shackles
