Help with 1 ton axle choice for fzj80 build (1 Viewer)

[hotwod]

Hey Dusty! Did the Radius Arm rear work good for you? Did you go full Bushing or hime/johnny joints?

 

[Wrench]

I thought this bump was an update on the 80. Darn.

 

[jeffott1797]

WOW, great 80. Chop it, tube it and keep going.

Read through most, but never saw a track width posted.

Anyone know?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

The WMS-to-WMS measurement of a full-width one-ton axle is between 63 and 69.5", depending on the hubs you're running.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

There were two dimensions given in the thread, being 65-66" if memory serves, and reason for questioning.

66"

if anyone wants this rig come get it. Since i built the buggy i never play with her anymore.
Runs great.
I have 2 brand new 300m rear 35sp shafts i had made for her with drive flanges for the rear. (hammers broke rear shafts) plus stock spares. also brand new set of spare front inner and outer shafts from randys (chromo still in the box).

tires are needing replacing. you can have a set of 37" military tires to move it. (90%)

truck is unstopable. drivetrain has had meticuluous maintainance but very little respect has been given the sheetmetal.

$5000 firm. (or highest bid)

edit
will trade for a utv 2 or 4 seater. just needs to run good. rhino, teryx,or the like.

 

[Delancy]

Thank you.

69.5" is gonna be friggin' wide...

Maybe looking at a comparable tire size to yours to balance her out, 'cause fat chicks with small feet ain't right.

GLWS.

So is there a full build thread for the KOH buggy? That thing looks sweet! Love the 80 too, damn nice fab work.

What ever happened to Dusty's rig. Did someone buy it? Is there a new link? It would be a perfect donor for one of the Aluminum fj40 tubs.

Full build thread for the Starfighter is on Pirate. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/912264-last-starfighter-ifs-build.html

AFAIK, he still has it.

Hell yeah that would be a mean rig!

Ok, let's have some fun. We already know the drivetrain is sound, it just needs a body. I've seen several J4, 40/80 projects... I have pics of some 2 & 4 door versions.

So post up some ideas of what this thing could look like with 112" WB in mind.

[ToyotaDon]

Long ago, for much less than he was asking.
