No. Seems excessive for this build IMO.

If @shayahealth can break the 80 box running 33x10.5s she is more hard core than the lot of us.

All of these gear boxes are at the point where they all need to be rebuilt. IMO, the 105 upgrade should be par for the course each and every time. Don’t do it any other way.

You read correct, just maybe not the whole thread. My take away is if you're rebuilding it anyway might as well upgrade it. Toyota has made the upgrade standard on any new 80 series boxes they sell.

I stay out of general tech, because it gives me flash backs to PBB days where unless you were running 1-tons and making 700hp you had no reason to take your truck off-road.

I understand your reasoning, and if I was putting the 80 box in either my 40 or 45 I'd for sure do the upgrade, but 99% of this 55's future will be running from house to clinic (3 mile drive). Only way that shaft is breaking is if we get t-boned in the hospital parking lot. Or if it does break AAA is on-call 24/7.

Plus, there is no way to do the 105 swap and keep this build under $5000.

Sure, ruin all our fun.

But they used Ford Explorers (I'm guessing without 105 shaft upgrades). Maybe they spared some expenses?

Ah, the lull between tech is always so awesome.

Parts coming. Y’all hang with us

Hotel reservations have been made for Saturday-Tuesday. Hopefully we'll get more quality posts in here, but absolutely no guarantees. I can promise there will be more posts about Cowboy and her condescending glares.

he’s here to “help”

I got extra fire extinguishers....

 

[frismanis]

I haven’t burned down my garage in 20 years of wrenching on Cruisers, but I also don’t have either a Solo stove or a Fatso.

You're not trying hard enough, large fires in the morning just to remind us out of control fires are right around the corner are the norm in my shop.

Back on the Limo

Big things coming this weekend ......

Brutal afternoon removing these 6 rivets. I used every tool I had. This plain sucks but it’s done. Tomorrow we lift. Pallet from @cruiseroutfit was lost in the mail but my buddy Welton chased it down last night. I ran down to Powder Keg and grabbed it.

That's where no Power Steering Pump comes in handy. You can just pull it off by hand with adequate forearm strength.

 

[sneaky]

How do you lose a pallet? Eagerly awaiting lift progress.
