Eagle Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 i forgot what mag i read it in but t said that the toy rear was almost as strong as a 44 Yeah, but the Toy axle uses a 6-bolt flange, like on full-size pickups and the old full-size Cherokee and J trucks.

88swampedmj Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 yea thats why iam just going to save up for an 8.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 There are so many good axle choices out there it is unbeliveable. One of my favorites besides the 8.8 is the Isuzu D44. Disc brakes :D , drop out third section :D last but not least 4.56 was a common gear ratio :twisted: Did I mention Troopers, and older amigo's are cheap :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DansGreyMj Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 i forgot what mag i read it in but t said that the toy rear was almost as strong as a 44 Yeah, but the Toy axle uses a 6-bolt flange, like on full-size pickups and the old full-size Cherokee and J trucks. the point i was trying to make is that the 44 is a better choice than the toy axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 You are right, I was thinking of their 12 bolt axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 It's actually a pretty good axle, but I don't know anyone running one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I know 2 ppl running them :eek: but they are in quasi buggies, so that really don't count, cause they are extremely braced, and weight is not a factor. The only down fall I have heard about them is the lack of gear selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 The only down fall I have heard about them is the lack of gear selection. From Randy's Ring & Pinion: Toyota 8": 3.90 4.11 4.56 4.88 5.29 5.71 Dana 44: 3.07 3.31 3.54 3.73 3.92 4.09 4.27 4.55 4.89 5.13 5.38 5.89 Personally, I'd go 8.8 with rear if I was concerned with track width and bolt pattern. I've got stats and people's personal experiences on the strength of that axle bookmarked from Pirate. Their growing popularity will bring gearing and locker options about. As well, Explorers had them with discs... Nice. Ford 8.8": 2.73 3.08 3.27 3.31 3.55 3.73 3.90 4.10 4.30 4.56 4.88 5.13 5.71 6.14 Here's the Pirate discussion: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/archive/ ... 24854.html QUITE lengthy. I'm swapping out my Toy's axle with a 44 for track width concerns (and cause I got it for free). Need to go fullsize, not expecting much in the strength department.

DirtyComanche Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 The Izusu D44 uses different gears, methinks. But I only read the izusu stuff when I'm REALLY bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Also a wagoneer axle is not full width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Oh right, their 12 bolt. I think there's only 3 gear ratios for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
