yeah they are, and they are on the right way.
heres some pics of the rear drive shaft i had made.
the slip yoke is from a from land cruiser drive shaft.
the cv joint is from a 85 solid axle 4runner.
the shaft was extended to 38in (end to end)
and the tcase flange was drilled to match the 4runner flange pattern.
i took the truck for its first drive today.
my allignment was way off, it pull a little to the drivers side

Nope but they have a inside and outside tread but as long as you mount them the same that way you can cross rotate them
yup a symetrical
inner tread design is different from outter tread design and is why they have an inside and outside.

so i had to go to the closet trail to make sure nothing would break, and get a feel for the `new`suspension to work out the bugs.
so the details:
truck is slow as hell. i was getting to 90kmph downhill.
lspv is seized :s
truck handled great offroad. just need to re-align the steering rack.

nice tho aint it.
Looks nice Simon.
What rpm is the engine spinning at now as you're going 90 km/h?
After you get everything worked out your next project should be a turbo!!

all smiles over here
yet, content enuf that it was my brother driving the truck in that video
he didnt get out after and drove all the way home...
was like ~1900rpm at 90kmph.
i do have to mention this was on back roads and didnt really get the chance to get to highway speed, and i bet i could get to over 100kmph in time. now how much time is to be tested, my guess it will be at least 2-3mins.
before with 4:11 and 32's my best 0-100 was 1:32 min:sec
it started to drag on uphill pretty quick too...
keep in mind i have auto trans and 5:29's
and yes turbo is defenatly on the next to do. just got to get the funds together.

The video looks great. I bet now with the SOA you'll stay dry doing the water cross-overs.....
If you get a chance to drive it on the road report back how it drives. What did you set your caster angle to?
OK, SOA on mine next...??

just got back from a 550km trip.
the tires ride great on the highway.
truck is slow but can reach 105km/hr.
and can cruise on flat land all day long.
speedo (vs gps) is off by 5km/hr(so take off -5 on what speedo says)
did two afternoons of offroading, and left my camera at home.
-ed,
you have somewhere to do soa?
i didnt take a degree reading on the caster angle. check my other posts on how i determined my angle

That is a good looking rig. Definitely post up when you go turbo, should be a totally different animal then.
