drive shaft

Pro Tip of the day - When measuring your drive shaft length for purposes of ordering a better one from Tom Woods, measure twice, maybe even three times. Use your best penmanship and make sure you can read your own damn notes. Then before pressing send on your order; go ahead crawl back under...

So I finally decided to pull the trigger and get a Tatton DC forward drive shaft for my LX450. I went with CJ Tatton given I heard great things about the quality of his work. When I tried to install and connect the CV to the T-case it would not slide into place. The CV’s circular holes would...

Hi there, my cousin gifted me his 91 Land Cruiser when he passed away last year. Do to logistics, and repairs, I just got it. The LC was in Montana, then hauled to Washington, then finally transported to my house in CA, I had a transmission, and new drive shaft installed before I had it...

Front Drive Shaft off of 1996 Land Cruiser. After going from 2.5" lift down to 2" lift the front shaft started a barely noticeable vibration around 70mph. I figured it might have been the u-joints settling into their new position so I installed brand new Toyota u-joints in this drive shaft. The...

Took our 200 off roading and had a leak the next morning on the transfer case. It was dripping heavily and the transfer case was nearly empty by the time we got around to working on it. Thought the transfer case seal was leaking so tried refilling with fluid and the leak stop additive we've...

What’s up folks, got a busted rear u-joint and I’m driving to Oregon next week. I’m in need of a rear drive shaft. I’d be happy to buy your spare or borrow yours (+ca$h) if you won’t be using your 100 for the weekend between the 16-19th I don’t really wanna be driving with my center locked in...

During removal of the trans/tcase, I accidently separated my rear drive shaft. There wasn't an easily visible key or mark for putting the 2 ends back together, so does the degree of rotation matter? I assume not but I thought I'd ask before bolting everything up. Thanks

Long time crawler, first time posting. I have a heavy knock sound I suspect is coming from my front prop shaft. Only happens when front end is articulating over structure. Particularly when FLS is raised and FRS is down. I have check all rubbers and bushings, everything looks solid, nothing...

Hi all, still very new to the 80 series. If I install the part time conversion kit on my vehicle with a 6" lift on it, will I still need/want to install a double cardan drive shaft? I've been reading forums that people have been installing double cardans up front just for vibration issues at...

Hey All, I am looking to pick up a Tom Wood double cardan drive shaft post caster correction and j Springs lift. I am sitting at about 3+" on my 1996 LX450.... and want to get rid of the vibrations that come with not having a proper drive shaft set up at that height. IE this...

Hey guys, My '92 FJ80 is currently in the shop getting a FF rear along with other goodies. I thought I had researched it enough before dropping it off, but I thought of a couple of possible issues I'd like to be reassured on. First is the rear drive shaft. From my research, I thought the...

hey everyone, I have been driving my 1999 lexus lx470 and dont need the 4x4, looked at several options to convert to 4wd but they're pretty costy except for removing the drive shaft. Just wanted to see if by removing the driveshaft ill bust the transfer case or rise other problems. Thanks

Hi everyone! So I was inspired to create a thread that documented the blood, sweat, and tears that has gone (and will continue to go) into my 1995 FZJ80. There has been a lot already and hopefully, this will turn into tears of joy in the future! The backstory: Needed a truck that could haul...

So I purchased a 95 fzj80 mostly sight unseen but with a few guarantees from the PO that certain items were solid. Besides a few additional small things I noticed that didnt seem like a big deal while driving it around after shipping it to me, I found some big issues. The PO assured me that the...

My plans to convert my fj62 to a manual have changed... So after sourcing everything needed for the conversion, I now need to sell them! Donor 60 had a rusted frame 1985 FJ60. Running/driving when pulled. Here is what I have and would prefer to sell as complete set; Engine- complete with carb...

Recently the old FJ62 had developed a drive line vibration. I got underneath and couldn't feel any play but then realized that in park everything was so bound up. I jacked up one side, chocked the wheels, put it in neutral and the pictures explain what I saw. Plenty of play. Glad to see this...

Hey guys I’ve got a problem. I used a water based cleaning solvent someone gave me along with parts clean I purchase, to use after solvents' heavy cleaning. Well some of my matchmarks (axle and cage) washed off while cleaning parts. The parts just cleaned in petroleum based solvent still have...
