39 on 40

[Sputnik40]

I'm definitely in the camp of not having rechecked my spacers - since installing. But I would do a visual check regularly before wheeling or driving - which is when I caught mine. I'll be going back and retorquing more often. Definitely a bonehead move on my part.

I was running a stock Cruiser axle housing with course spline pinion, poly axles, disk brakes and a single link bar that I'm having problems dialing in. R.K.'s setup is nicely done. I just had to ante up for a new pair of Poly's pending their receiving my busted/bent/cracked/exploded/tweaked long side in return. Not happy - but what else can I do right now - will see what happens. Will be putting a fine spline in while it's down.

[landbruiser1]

This is mine on 39.5 Iroks. still got the stock 40 axles. Upgrading to 60's soon..

 

[ScottFJ40]

stock 40 axles?

Yep, 27 spline longs with chrome moly inners. Stock axle shafts in the back.

 

[Eskimo]

but Scott is running stinky gas, so he's not making enough power to break stock rear shafts..

WERD!

I'm about to put a vette engine in it, so 60's are in my future.

Here's mine with 38 TSLs, SOA +3", mini truck axles front and rear, 30 spline longs.

obieFox what t-case are you running with centered rear? How's the mini rear holding up for you.

 

[R.K.]

If you decide to run a 39.5" IROK, I would recommend going with a 17" wheel. The 39.5/15 has too tall of a side wall in my opinion. It lets the rig bounce more. I would also run a 8 or 9" wide wheel.

Both tires in the pics are 39.5 IROKs. In the first pic, the one on the left is 39.5/15 on a 10" wide beadlocked wheel. The one on the right is a 39.5/17 on an 8" wide beadlocked wheel.

In the secone pic the 39.5/17 is on the left and the 39.5/15 is on the right.

I am running a toyo pickup transfer case. The t-case has Marlin 4.7's in it. The rear has a welded 4.10 gear. This rig is new to me in the last few months, so I have not done much with it yet. By the looks of it though, it has been through some tough stuff.
