Is there a Summit Racing in the A&A parking lot?

EDIT: Can you believe that was three years ago!
That was the night we met the Jabnasty. I had known him for about three minutes when I asked him if he would weld up the lock-rite. I told him we could do it in the morning if he didn't want to do it at that very second. His response: "Well, in the morning I am going to be pretty hungover and probably pissed off, I say we do it now."
Please follow this comment with gay love comments, I would expect nothing less.
you are gay !!!!!!!, is that gay enough for you?
Fawk me. Looky what i just bought...

Looks like its all there. How much to have it installed?
what is the necktie piece for?
i opened this up half expecting you to say the taco was sold, but this will do as well, you going to have it ready for clayton?
looks like a custom housing. saweet!
the FROR crossmember sucks IMHO.
sas is easy, dont be a puss.
you have an IFS box, why buy another?
Everything in the picture was included for the price. Diamond housing with v6 third w/5.29's, Detroit locker, 30 spline longfields, v6 calipers and rotors, and all-pro springs. The guy bought all that stuff and never installed it and then the economy bit him and he had to get rid of it.
Won't be ready by Clayton for sure, maybe January. I was actually thinking of selling it to buy a buggy after looking into how much a setup like this would run, but this came along at the right time.
I like that housing but all that work and just to put leaf springs under there. Well I guess anything is a step up from IFS
10/28 who got that square? :flipoff2:
I don't get toyotas. Why don't people buy the wagoneer looking toyota since it already has a solid axle and leaf springs? And why don't they copy the fj80 suspension instead of the wagoneer looking toyota suspension?
So why don't people buy the 60 Series Landcruiser? People do buy the 60 Series Landcruiser all the time. One would just have to deal with the 2F motor and a huge, heavy beast of a vehicle.
Why would someone want to copy the Radius Arm style suspension of the 80 series? Because it is complex, expensive and very limited would be my guess.
Congrats on all sas stuff, looks pretty sweet all laid out like that.
37's and a Lock-Rite. Ok or Disaster waiting to happen?
depends what's in the axle and if you're putting gears in the tcase. I imagine chromos would hold up. I hope they didn't put stock shiat in a diamond
Doo eet!
No this is for my Tacoma's rear. Right now my 3rd is set up with 4.88's and a Lock-Rite. I can get some 5.29's for it and have them set to match the 5.29's and Detroit that will be in the Diamond, and keep the Lock-Rite. This Option is about $650. Or I can get a new assembled Third with 5.29's and a Detroit for $1180 and sell my Third that has the 4.88's and Lock-Rite in it. Question is will the Lock-Rite hold up in the Rear of a Tacoma with 5.29's and 37's?
And no I will not Weld the Rear or Spool it, this thing will still be driven to the trails sometimes and around town when other vehicles are in the shop.
The Diamond has 30 spline Long's in it no stock shiat here. :gigem:
All I will say is if you are going to do it, do it right (which usually means 'not cheap'). :D/:(
It costs $650 to swap gears? I'd put 4.88s in the front if I were you. The way that last post reads you need to set up the front chunk anyway. That thing's got the v6, you'll be screaming at hwy speeds with 5.29s even with 37s, and the 4.88s are stronger.
The front third is already set up with 5.29's and a Detroit.
$350 in Gears and install kit and $300 to have them set, I am at the mercy of the local shops due to my lack of ability in this regard.
I run 4.88's now with 33's, with the 5 Speed they are great. 5.29's and 37's will be perfect.
EDIT: I see how it could read that the third isn't set up in the Diamond yet, but it is just still on it's way to me so I used the future tense.
good lawd, that's a lotta money! If it were me, I'd wait and pick up the first 4.88 or 5.29 chunk I found a good deal on and be happy with whatever lockah it comes with, but since you're going 5.29s in the rear (and it's your money) I'd put something better in the rear.
However, you're probably going to break the stock shafts before you break the lock-rite.
OR you can take the professionally set up (hopefully?) chunk that comes with your new axle, put it in your rear axle, try your hand at setting up the gears for the front and save $300, then if the lockrite or your gear job fails, you take it out of 4x4 and drive home.
Can't do that either. Tacoma Axle is different than the V6 Third that is in the Diamond. :(
I will start scouring TTORA for a used set up Non-Elocker Tacoma chunk. That's good advice.
just regear to 5.29s. or buy an aussie and sell the lockrite.
sell the whole Taco rear axle and put in an IFS minitruck rear axle. What are those, $150 complete? Might as well have matching diffs
yall need to do some more web wheelin...
v6 & taco diff are the same deminsions, both have 8" ring gears, with the only differnece being the squared off girdle on the taco diff, which is 'susposed' to make it stronger by cuttin down on gear deflection. the girdle is what makes it not fit in another toy housing. so by going from a taco diff to a IFS rear he would be going down in strength. your over thinking the situation. just regear to 5.29 and be done, or sell the lockrite and pick the few remaining dollars off your money tree and buy either an aussie or detroit.
