for anyone who wants to know, the EA82 axles are about 2 inches longer than the EA81's, also on the outer CV joint, the seal is 1/4 inch larger diameter, other than that they are the same. also on the XT's and late model loyales they used a "larger" outer CV joint cup. I think what I am gonna do is put the outer joints from my ea81 axles on to my ea82 halfshafts, and kick out the front wheels an extra 2 inches on each side (compensating the other suspension components of course).

so what are you doing about the suspensions?

 

also, the models withteh fatter doj can have a 25 spline cup swapped to fit full time and turbo trannies

TO make it all fit? you DONT WANT TO KNOW. its been one thing after another to get this suspension to work along with the ea82T motor and the lift...

 

also btw, for the axles I took the outer CVs from the EA81 style and put them on the EA82 axles to make them compatable with the EA81 style spindles. other than the clips being a little stubborn. it worked great
