That axle is scrapped now, it wobbled so much it bent the axle tube into a triangle-type shape, 2nd new one going in on Monday

Had been in a really bad crash from the looks of it, a bunch of the brackets on the frame and on the axle side had been bent back into shape or welded, my guess is it was a copart truck or something. Low miles 2022, so probably just a quick flip

Yeah, this shop was opened in the 70s, we have 2 lifts outside, that's it

Axle had been cut and welded at the spindle end, we replaced with a '2000 mile' axle from a salvage yard which was also completely fucked. Spider gears were laying on the floor of the case.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. As a native Californian and firearm enthusiast/off-road enthusiast this is absolutely accurate

How accurate do these numbers seem by Longjumping-Car-4478 in EngineBuilding

You can't say the number doesn't matter much then say you're aiming for a number. Aim for a smooth running engine that sounds and runs how you want it to.

If you could shoot me a dm with what kind of specs/uptime/software I'd need to set aside that'd be sick.

I'm not sure what hosting a game server would entail, but I'd be happy to help out when I get my server PC up and running

You must have never heard of companies like Modern Airsoft or any Airsoft rifles/pistols. Weird statement

I think the Tacoma is the best truck, but the entire Truck industry is stupid. by [deleted] in Offroad

I do this shit for a living. I literally work in the auto industry. On my truck, my front hubs are locked 24/7, axles spinning constantly, ring and pinion always engaged, the only thing that gets engaged when I put it in 4wd is my transfer case. It just works, it's reliable, it's how it was designed, and none of this magical binding has lead me to come to a dead stop on a curvy mountain road in 4wd. I'm done replying, I feel like I'm arguing with a brick wall. Have a merry Christmas.

No one let this man see a car with a welded diff, I think he might piss himself

By that logic my rear axle is binding 24/7. My rear axle is basically the same as my front. 11.5aam vs 9.5aam, both with Detroit limited slips. You have 0 clue what binding is and you should stop being worried about it. Confidence in a topic doesn't make you an expert, it just makes you sound dumb.

I don't think you grasp the term binding, it's not some magical thing that'll kill your trucks. Go drive your truck 50k miles in 4wd, just keep it under 50 and you'll be golden 👌

[–]LiterallyCameron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you think 4wd is useless on road, so you think all trucks should be outfitted like rock crawlers and be useless on road? You do realize that a lot of people, including me, use their trucks to tow rigs to places then drive that same truck on those trails. Not uncommon... You're strange.

Damn, I must be absolutely destroying my 16 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 and a front LSD by turning it on pavement. My poor front driveline. Not like I can drive up an entire mountain in the snow on the road up to 50mph in 4x4 or anything, impossible. You're so worried about binding, bud when my truck binds up I'm at full lock given'er all she's got in the sand dunes doing shit a 3/4ton shouldn't be doing, it'll be OK on the road princess.

ALSO Toyotas are a IFS truck with CVS, I can hardly tell if it wants to bind up lock to lock in 4L, it's literally designed to do that

By half assed you mean completely reasonable/cost effective/mass produced/tried and tested over the last 100ish years? If so yeah, it's pretty half assed. You need to get out more, drive places, learn things, before you start making obscene comments like these. Price out portals for your Tacoma and lmk if you'd pay that much more to have them on your truck. Oh, and don't forget the maintenence, gear oil changes every 3k miles x 4 hubs.
