I am not running limit straps, that could definitely be my first step. I assume the amount of travel taken out would be based on a maximum angle at the joint, do you know how to find that angle? It doesn't seem to be listed on the box my advanced auto shafts came in, and I didn't see it on a...

I'm back. I am blowing outer CVs in a constant manner now. "Every time I wheel" constant, I'm at 4 breaks in about 4 months . I am locked in the front and I am also dual cased now. I talked to RCV a few times and they turned me down for axles. My truck uses that flange type inner joint and...

literally the same as mine. That is trange you didn’t have clearance issues. It was definitely making contact on mine.

Lol Did you keep the stock cv joint in your front shaft and was yours passenger drop front?

Just listened to all the episodes at work this week, I enjoyed it! Especially liked @eimkieth episode and @durobumps episode. More tech talk!

They are. Autozone/oriellys t100 shafts. So, what should I do, go straight up rcv or look into some OEM or reman high angle OEMs? To be honest, I use my axles as limit straps sooooooo.....

Two broken shafts this weekend. The other was just your run of the mill bearing cage blow out at the outer cv, but this one take the show! twisted off like clay at the outer stub shaft in the hub.

Going out to Uwharrie this weekend in case anyone wants to make a trip

This isn't my build thread or anything, but figured I'll add here until I do (if I ever do).. DUAL CASE IS DONE! I'm just stoked on it, so I'm sharing.

Appreciate that!

Thanks Which kind of brings up another point @eimkeith and I were discussing... why did they use CVs on IFS front driveshafts in the first place?

Closing in on the completion of my dual cases, but the front drive shaft (modified for length) has a massive CV on the transfer case end that now rubs the adapter when in place. I can't flip it around be because the CV side flange and bolt patter is a decent bit bigger and there is no one making...

While I realize all the cool kids these days wheel 4runners or tacos, on the off chance someone buys an old truck I'll add my thoughts and experiences. I bought the truck in 2016 for the express purpose of learning to work/build/wheel on it (not my main daily, though I did and still do daily...

I gotcha. Interesting that the units are actually thicker. I am using brand new ones from Oriellys right now, not their remans, but I’ll look at Napa’s next.

Hahaha I can’t imagine they are actually coming from different manufacturers
