i hate ford, but right on.:grin:PICS?cheers

well, you can see here that a stock toy frame could possibly be put to good use under a car. then you could use any kit you wanted to 4 link it.of course that is under a brat, but you can see size comparison kinda. just sayin.maybe just pull some frame horns off, and mpount up a ea82 body.... cheers, b

suzuki axles fit the width, so do TOy axles.Dana 35's and 30"s almost fit the profile , but those were some old old axles i have too... umm, i personally am stepping away from the zook axles because i know how i am.i will break them then be pissed i didna go bigger.it really depends on how much tire you think you will shoehorn in there. 33's are at the topend of zook stuff, 35's if you drive nicely and have chromo's. toy stuff with chromos can go past 37's.but that requires upgrades to steering, brakes, and GOOd chromo's...... you also have to consider steering.needing a steering box, etc...... the transfer case issue is another monster. zook-divorced-can get rather cheap upgrade gears to 6.8/1 toyota-can get a divorcedd kit for it(well, you used to be able to , not sure now), good options for gearing np205 you can find divorced, but then you run into coupling issues(ujoints) special drivelines , etc... then there is the whole non divorced issue.people making adapter plates and using whatever they want.this is a new wave of happiness for us around here.we have been so limited in options that any new option is awesome. i say go with what you know........or have done ************tons of research on. etc.there is a ton of info that goes into this.if you are thinking about doing it you might do some outside research.but remember, you talk to a ford guy, he'll tell ya to use this, and talkin to a chevy guy will tell you to use that, etc... what do you have access to? etc... toyota's are super strong when setup proper, huge aftermarket for gearrs , etc, and they can be relatively easy to find although not very cheap anymore.none of them are a cheap option, as it is not a cheap project. the rear axles can come from just about anything as long as you can make a driveline to couple them ...... i have tried doing this project 2 or 3 times now.each time gathering more and more info.and getting more and more material to go forward.with little space and limited time it has hindered me.it takes a lot of space to do and stay on track. regardless , attaching mounting points to the unibody is not acceptable. they WILL rip out.you need a subframe, for suspension mounts, and the transfercase. and, your not gonna find a "kit" for the link setup.geometry will be way different than anything out there.so, if you think yo can just go buy a kit and make it work i can tell you that it will make MORE work than you think it will to make it work:grin:that was a mouthful...... anyways.cheers, b

that is pretty much what made me stop doing it....breakability.a guy would have to go super super light to be able to use the subie stuff successfully good job again mister!can't wait to see.cheers,b

Mugs and i built that car.then he sold it to a guy in oregon:grin:cheers

right now we are sitting on about 8 inches so far in spokane.cheers

now it makes sense.......************in sweet.i went this way then turned tail and ran.mine was all out of ej parts.and subie diffs though.i TOO would love to back to it.are they doing the same thing we do by putting a rear up front?or.......... anyways , badass...i too have the tire conundrum.way to much to spend.you should be looking on local 4x web sites, craigslist, blah blah , stuff you probably already go by...but anyways.cheers that pic almost made me um, well. yeH:banana: makes me wish i had the money for a Cornay joint setup. one day...one day....

purest of awesome Ed.cheers

picked up a toy front axle for it.have been gathering small parts here and there as well........now i just need somewhere to work on it.:lol:i am to the point that i have to have room to build with the axles up so.........which is how i should have started.but did not have the room then either.....and wanted to get going. i have been in school for a couple of quarters now,and will not have much time to work on it next quarter either.but, i AM making progress here and there. i can get rid of all of my zuki stuff(two complete sets of axles, one disassembled, front 5.13 third from tracker , rear to match that.some spacers, etc...)now.so i will be able to get this going. i have no need for upgraded parts for the axles right now because i will be running small 33" tires:lol:.then when i get up the road a bit, i can upgrade axle internals and rocket up in tire size. the zuki axles had upgrades but the max was 35"tire i think.....if i remember right, anyways......that was with full on chromo axles. i was either looking for a full size set of axles.....or some toy axles, and i have the rear axle in my sites from one of my brothers old rigs., as well as a couple other things.SO, that is about an update.cheers

thats the only one you need!!!!cheers

1.59 is correct.......

i have bought tools of the crafstman brand from pawn shops SPECIFICALLY to go and get a new tool from sears..... whats wrong with that? it's their warranty..

you literally need a long rectangular frame.if that car is as flat on the bottom as it looks.even if it is not, keeping a flat profile will serve you for your lift. i mean a long rectangle.with some mounts off for the engine , trans, and the front of the rear diff. kinda like this, excuse the crude drawings....the truck link was good,but for you it is even simpler... cheers,b

you could just go to the FAQ in the OFFROAD forum and read for a bit.......then ask questions.

nice.....

my point being, not always does the modification need done.cheers, b

it almost makes me want to puke i am so excited.........

check the FAQ in the offfroad forum. there is a huge write up in there about lsd's

i have done several of these now.and i have had them slide right in as well.it is a generic statement to say that the inside ears are present in all non-lsd cases.some of the later cases have definitely lessened ears too.as a matter of fact, the two 4.44's that i had were very easy to get the diff chunk into.it is a matter of finesse as opposed to making it fit.cheers , b oh, we are talking about inserrting the chunk into the case.you know, just like it shows, and says in the FAQ.

i KNOW mine wasna drool!:lol:cheers

i bought persuader one from a paqwn shop, no name chrome vanadium cause i knew it would work for just that once. it lasted like 6 years.......and trust me, when i broke it ,i gave it all i had.and it happened on a legacy bearing job.never did get that bearing changed.best damn 5 bucks i ever spent.cheers

craigslist is your friend.....cheers

hrmmmm, where did he get h and r springs for ea81 struts?cheers, b

i have several sets of EJ ones.....ifn you wanna try that. i'll be around this weekend tossing about in the garage.come on by. cheers, b

hey man.i think we go to school together.most people call me hawk, if you have any questions i'd be more than willing to help if i can.i have had a couple of brats.cheers
