It will be spendy. Projected cost for the chunk is $1200, which is reasonable considering what it takes to make it. I just think it is really cool

Making stuff like that in short runs has to be costly.It will be spendy. Projected cost for the chunk is $1200, which is reasonable considering what it takes to make it. I just think it is really cool
And there is the old supply and demand curve from Econ. 101 to be considered.

Ya I agree with that................
No trussing needed on those fancy houings.
The nines are the sniz s*** for set and choice of gears
My lunchbox locker bent one of my carriers, not broken in half though.. neat
Size limitations make for a kinda a shotty ARB locker if you want to run one in a 9"
Jesus. I've seen a cracked carrier from a split center pin but never one split in half like that. Good work!

Hi All:
D*mn Sputnik tell us more about this breakage!
Tire size, engine size, gearing, type of 'wheeling, etc.
Thanks.

Think this was the thread that included the discussion on shock loading from Detroits or lunch box lockers - thought I'd repost a pic from a friends wheeling trip last weekend...
This was Steve's FJ60. Originally belonged to Eric J. who chopped the roof off and put in a partial cage - several pics of it in TT a few years back at GSMTR and maybe even Katemcy Rocks. Still SUA with 37" MTRs and lunchbox lockers. Recent mods include a very impressive Isuzu diesel conversion (Steve also has a more stock FJ60 with a GM diesel conversion - both run on veggie oil), Toyota 5 speed, and a crawl box with split case. Tends to carry tons of gear, spares, tools, etc. and apparently he was trying to keep up with a bunch of mini's and a built 40. I think he also tends to forget he's in a wagon and tries to follow the same lines - thing has massive amounts of body damage...damn nice ride all around, and both he and Eric have always driven it to trail rides.

Hi All:
Thanks for the info Sputnik.
So, big tires, lots of torque, a bit of weight, and low gearing. Actually appears to be a reasonable failure of the components involved! It seems that he needs to move-up to something stouter like Dana 60s.
