5 buckshot mudders 33x12.50 15's, want to trade?
Printable View
You know my opinion 33's welded front and rear. This thing doesn't have gears so 37's are pushing it. Plus you know that the tsl's will work better in the mud and sand than the mtr. The only thing and mtr sucks worse than in the mud is an irok.
Tire problem solved, I will be selling the 37's for $400, and the 33's for $250, all of them come with rims.
My solution, I present the 35-10.50 bogger :cool:
Nice!
In true DSO fashion. Now if you can just get that front drive shaft to stay on!
Hell yeah!
Oh, and I know a guy that does one hellufa groovin job on boggers.... :gigem:
DSO = down south Offroad parkQuote:
Me?
Ah, that makes more sense. I didn't think you knew my initials. :D
I like it! Much better than the other two options.
David - I was also kind of confused :)
Pulled the 3rd out to instal the po-locka, found out some interesting stuff:
Rear gears 4.38's :)
Transfer Case has stock gears 2.2 something :(
Slip shaft in rear driveshaft is locked up, I guess it is an anti-wrap bar... :eek:
Yup, 4.38's
Question, I got the axles out to put some seals in em, while I was at it I cleaned them up. Here is the question, should I paint them "Grabber Green" again, or go back with a flat black?
Options
A) Grave Digger Rulez, I love Grabber Green
B) I don't have a mullet, Paint em flat black
Option C: grow a mullet and paint them grabber green.
Well Mayfield has chimed in, I will wait for Travis, Creighton, Hot Pocket, and Sam to chime in. They appear to be the only ones left on this board.....
i wouldn't bother painting them at all but if i did black or blue
blue?
Purple
Go with the green.
So of the 5 people that look on this board, 2 said grabber green and 2 said they love the cak.....
Black
Black, or buy a mullet wig and go green
Grave Digger rulez.....(posted to prove I'm still on the board)
I think the Cadillac gold and posey pink paint scheme worked pretty well for my Jeep, maybe bring that back?
Grabber Green!
And I second growing the mullet, it would really fit in at alto this year :gigem:
Black. I'm boring. That green will not look good after a few trips. Do that higher up, maybe on that giant D ring when you weld it back on. That way you can find the tow point when it's buried up to it's windows in Alto in October.
BTW, that thing looks super sweet now that you took those crappy sides off the bed. Great work! :D
save the fancy paint for something that wont be covered in **** for the next decade or until it gets sent to China to make new Toyota body panels
Safety orange
red white and blue
Ok, WTF is this? First picture is the axle seal on the left that keeps oil from the diff to spilling out the axle shaft, to the right is the mystery part. The second picture is a close up. Frick and I were knocking the oil seal out using the VonBroom technique, this is where you stick a broom through the opposite side then knock the the axle seal out, and this thing knocked out from the inner side. That is to say it came from the knuckle to the 3rd member. When we did the opposite side we found the other one, so their was one on each side???? It is bigger than the seal by like 3/8" and can not be installed throught the knuckle side, it has to be put in through the 3rd member hole.
It is elliptical or the hole is off center, and there is a small like weeping hole on one side? WTF is it? Hippy did not know via phone, neither did BDR.

its nothing from the knuckle. maybe your previous owner forced them into the axle tube as some kind of axle guide or something? I don't see any reason for it being there since you had the third member all the way out and everything is contained on that.
Talked to hippy, BDR, Schubring, and Luis, all who know a hell of a lot more than me. None could identify it???
Probably to make it easier to put the shaft in. I would think it serves as a baffle to keep most of the oil in the third member so the seal has less of a chance to leak. The weep hole in the bottom is probably so the oil that does get past it doesn't just sit there.
How the hell is Eric? Haven't heard from his smelly hippy ass in forever.
He's back in Houston now, finally moved in with his wife.
what hippyis in houston awesome time to get a beer....
F'ing toyota gayness!!! Go to put the front axle back together and I notice the axle shaft is way off to one side. The damn axle housing is bent!!!Attachment 19257
