FJ40 Upgrade: Offset Teraflex High Pinion D60, 14 Bolt Hybrid Rear Axle

[Rock40]

Looking for a bit of input on transfer case output flanges, namely coming up with something to adapt it to a 1410 series bolt on yoke.

I’ve got an Orion, I believe I put fine spline internals in it but will need to pull the output and verify.

Only aftermarket flange I’m coming up with that “might” work is this: Transfer Case Front Output Flange 27 Spline - Fits 1/1978 - 7/1980 FJ40/55 Applications (TCF60010/30)(PN60010/30) - https://cruiserteq.com/transfer-case-front-output-flange-27-spline-fits-1-1978-7-1980-fj40-55-applications-tcf60010-30-pn60010-30/

Then I’d have to machine an adapter flange most likely to bolt it up to a 1410 yoke.

Has anyone done this? My hunch is most are likely running 1310 (like I am now) or maybe 1350

Call Georg. I know A/A had an HD version that is NLA of the Orion that had 32 spline/1350 yokes. Georg will probably know how to get where you want to go off the top of his head.

Ok, that sounds like a good idea, I’ll call him. Once I figure out what internals I put in the Orion. I’ve built WAY to many transmissions and transfers lately, can’t keep track

Good to know, I figure it’s going to require some sort of custom adapter flange.

Reached out to Valley Hybrids this morning, unfortunately their number is no longer listed so I’m waiting to hear back on what they have to say

send orangefj45 a pm

Is he on here?
Having trouble getting him.

Tom Woods 4xshaft might be able to help as well.

He might, yes. Waiting to hear back from Georg, sent him a PM also.

Just looking for builder parts essentially to adapt to the Orion

Doubt it, he builds good custom stuff. Leave a message. He is kind of a one man show, but worth the wait. He has built a bunch of stuff for me over the years.

Totally struck out with Tom Woods, biggest bolt on flange for the rear FJ40 output is 1310, which is what I currently have

I think this is the 68mm x 60mm pattern or something like that

 

[Rock40]

Talked to Jesse at High Angle Driveline, he was WAY more hopeful than Tom Woods. So that’s definitely a potential avenue

Did measurements on the rear shaft also. Current one is 10.5°

With the high pinion, I believe it should be about 2.5° to 3° That is an extremely flat driveshaft angle so nearly certain it won’t require a CV

High Angle Driveline has Burned ALOT of people Proceed with Caution . Yes He can build nice stuff Its the part about If you will actually get it or not that is worrisome

Count me in.
I guess he knows what numbers to avoid.
I’m still hopeful I’ll get my shaft, or my money back would be fine too.
He’s had 775 bucks of mine since August, that’s just for a shaft from front of t case to a carrier bearing.

Last time he answered was the week before KOH and he said I was interrupting racing season, or something like that.

Tom Woods helped me calculate the whole length in one shot and shafts were here in a few days for much less money.

I will say Jesse sounded way more confident in his bearing than Tom Woods and I’m not here to drag mud up, just pretty straightforward facts.

@Rock40 I’d see if you can coordinate payment and shipping, if you can get it it will be great.

These guys might have something. Searched a little but not really sure what you’re starting with.
Tons of info on their site but they also answer the phone and know their stuff.
They’ve been very helpful with my nv4500 and 205.

Yeah, Torque King is good, all good quality OEM stuff tho. I didn’t know this, but Georg informed me, that only 53 Orion HD’s were made. And they had an aftermarket 1350 yoke available at the rear output.

That’s the downside to the Orion or stock Toyota cases, there is ZERO aftermarket support for upgraded parts.

And I wasn’t aware of the issues listed above, thank you @Firemedic831 and @Ditcherman for that input. I’m pretty slow building stuff but I don’t want to pay and wait an eternity either.

I “think” I’ve got a sort of plan at this point. To re-use the factory course spline output, machine an intermediate adapter flange, then bolt a flanged 1410 yoke onto that. I guess we’ll see if that works and holds up.

If nothing else, I don’t think it’d be too much work to go 1350 at the transfer case output and 1410 at the pinion. And ditching the CV is a step in the right direction I think

 

[Rock40]

RuffStuff brackets. Great quality as you’d expect and WAY longer than I thought they’d be

Cut them down, boxed them in, set at 15°

Added the combination limit strap/sway bar tabs too

I just want you to know you have cost me alot of money because i had to buy a tig welder . because i am living in shame of my bugger welds

Hahaha! Actually that’s pretty cool. What did you get?

I’m running an old (probably early 2000’s) Miller Synchrowave 250. But it’s tuned up good and runs great on DC, plus the water cooled torch makes a HUGE difference
