69 axles...

[lc_nut]

So, I'm tearing apart another pig, (added to "my garage") and I've got a few complete sets of 69 axles hub to hub with functional "selectro" lockouts, and all the associated garbage that I have no use for. I know that the housings can be modded to fit the disk stuff, but I have a few sets of 78 axles with no home.

Before I exchange these for $ at the metal recyclers, is there anyone that collects/uses this stuff?

I'd post it up in the parts section. I know there are some clowns that will latch onto the old ball and claw stuff.

They have "some" use....

I had to talk myself out of grabbing them, centering the rear end, and swapping them into the 4runner. But by the time I'd be done with them I would have a a lot of work and some $ in them.

I was considering a cool glass coffee table/sculpture. Then I thought better of it.
I think If one more car part gets turned into furniture, things might get ugly.

Thanks..I'll post them in the for sale.

I might have a home for the rear. I'll have to look at the SWB and see how bad that housing is.

If you need it Todd I have an empty rear housing here. Soon to have a matching front.

 

[Gumby]

Don't toss it. The ones that came out of your rust bucket are pretty rough.

 

[PhilC64]

Todd I have front and rear housings from a 45 and a front 60 series housing if you want them. All of them are in good shape.
I'm cleaning out the garage and would like them to go to a good home.

Would any of these be useful in a SAS for a certain 97 4runner?

 

[Gumby]

I looked today. The rear in the swb ain't bad.

Yes actually. The LC front axles can be used in either pass side drop t-case and a drivers side t-case drop.

 

[Jeremy9A]

Cool... Let me know when you have the parts gathered up, and I'll drop off said vehicle

Ok $4000 down payment.

 

[4rnr]

You seriously thinking about sasing the 97?

If so the LC axle is a great choice if you want to keep a drivers side drop.

 

[BAMF_CT2004]

If you are considering the sas on the third gen might as well go for a passenger side drop and dual case it.

 

[Jeremy9A]

I'm at somewhat of a standstill here with what can be done to the 4runner. It seems that I can:

A. Leave it alone and wheel the s*** out of it. Nothing really breaks, just bends

B. Get some 35's while doing a little trimming. I would need to dump money into gears for a weak front diff. while possibly breaking cv's and still having no front locker

C. SAS and duals. Save up money, spend it, and have a nice setup.

 

[Gumby]

D. Buy a 85 mini and build/wheel it with reckless abandon. give your 3rd gen to Gumby for giving you such a great idea.

 

[Jeremy9A]

Interesting theory. Old square deal gumby really has me thinking now...

I seem to kick around the SAS idea once or twice a year, slap it around a few times, then have a few more drinks.

Maybe I should leave things alone, do the f150 tank swap, strengthen the rear control arms, and get a skidplate for the trans area thats been missing since my 2nd cliffs run. Those are the things that hold me up the most, and the hitch/bumper. (Thread officially hijacked)

 

[Gumby]

I know a guy who has some drop axle with brakes for sale. You could build a lightweight trailer for your mini and tow it with the 3rd gen or the taco.

Not caring about driving home is very liberating.

 

[Jeremy9A]

sigh... What 85 mini are we talking about?

These wouldn't be one time use tornado magnet axles, would they?
