This Land Cruiser Is Looking CRAZY With 1 Ton Axles Under It! 

Just FYI, those FJ40 axles are really sought after by the Suzuki Samurai crowd. The offset rear diff makes them a great fit in the samurai. So when you sell them, you might target some of the local groups.

Fab Rats has a lot of content putting tons under an FJ, might be worth a look

I’d say your on your way to custom front frame rails for sure. It’s going to great, it’s only metal. I have faith in your fabrication skills!

Your best bet is to contact Paul from fabrats .. super knowledgeable and helpful guy.. plus it would make a great collaboration RU-vid channel to help pick up viewers 👍

FIRST!

Awesome build series Great content Love all the hard work

looking forward to seeing how this build shapes up!

Good series, I'm enjoying it. Thank you!!

I called it. Look into a CJ sty;e front driveshaft, they are smaller in diameter and give more clearance and handle V8 hp.

You got this bro! Nice work👍🏻

I’m sure you will figure it out. Nice job !

Great EP Austin 👍🏼 😎💯🔥

The video is so amazing keep going hero💯💯

That depends on which side you mount the panhard bar.

Get an RC rock crawler with a chassis mounted servo and it will have a 3link with panhard bar. It will show you how the axle moves. It moves the most when the whole chassis moves up and down.

Fab rats has a build on an fj truck I’m pretty sure he 3 linked the front maybe check out that build

Congrats on 200k good videos

Finally a new video🤜🤛

When you stuff drivers side the passenger side naturally will droop and that will cause the axle to pull towards drivers side at some rate so I’d say it probably won’t pull away from the the frame much if at all. When drivers is full stuff and passenger is full droop it’ll really want to pull towards frame so you’ll need to keep that in mind as well. at full stuff on both sides it will pull away from frame. For the axle to move in the curve your hoping for you’d have to run triangulated 4 link to keep center of axle in center of frame and then each side will swing in an equal curve. But then you’ll be running full hydro steering . Hope this is some help

I would get in contact with Paul at Fab Rats. He's got a sick FJ and would be a great source of info

For some odd reason, Dana 50 axles were used on early F350 super duty trucks as well. I think the option was "extra heavy duty suspension" that gave you the 60 up front.

This build is insane and i love it so much...will you have merch with this on it?

Dig all ur previous builds. But this is really interesting. Didn’t u say this going to b a slight upgrade build? Was thinking then. Kind of disappointed. But u know u can’t just do a easy build. Can’t wait for each vid and choice of upgrades. Fab work. Everything. Thx for great content and camera/editing quality.

Krawler ftw!!

That particular dana 60 is WAY offset. With the 3 link setup, if it has correct geometry then it won't move much laterally. the panhard bar will move on an arc of course, but when you droop out one side, and stuff the other it will end up hitting. Basically, if the panhard bar is attached on the drivers side to the chassis and passenger side on the axle, the axle will only move laterally when the passenger side is moved up or down causing the ling to travel in its arc. The driver side will not affect it much. It might be better to swap axles... again... 60's are getting expensive though. But if you narrow the passenger side 2 inches, scoot it over 1 inch, then slap some spacers on it you might get away without changing the rear width.

Oooh yeah😎

Could that tcase be clocked down for some clearance? Nice vid! Thanks

How do you sleep at night knowing there's so much work still...but you can see it finished! 😅😂😂 🍻

Those dang spring mount bracket rivets suck lol i just did this stuff

That’s sic

Don't quote me. But I believe the 2005 Super duty D60's have a diff. that is closer to the center. I can't seem to find actual figures. But this is what we put in my buddy's JK. Frame is wider on these, so no issues. These are way beefier from the knuckles out. The older King pin Ford D60's are for sure. But finding one of them is about impossible anymore. As for a 3 link design . The suspension will rotate on the center axis. How much depends on lots of variables. IE link length, link angles, tracbar length and angles. All you can do is mock everything up and cycle the suspension. You may get lucky and not hit the frame or maybe need to just notch the frame a bit. As for the D50. They are the same as the D60 of the same yr from the knuckles out. Same axle joint and outer shaft, wheel bearings, brakes, etc.. I have a couple that are going to be use to make a couple of rear steer axles. 14 bolt Chevy rear with D50 knuckles.

Should’ve went with the older 70s ford axles…but I’m loving the content though…keep up the good work

That’s most likely the dana50 front end u still probably won’t brake it but just make sure before u order parts for it

Go 42s

Is Devin Niemela your brother?

I know you like fabricating a lot, but Barnes 4 wheel drive makes everything you need. 4 links joints, shock towers, axle trusses etc. Looking great!

Frame hanging out the front is no good, but tires outside the fenders is good? 😥

Was this video filmed before you sold the Hilux? I see it in the background at 5:44.

Try reaching out to Dirt Lifestyle Nate. He does different builds and he might have some good ideas

Fab rats Toyota look at them

Don't have anything worth adding just commenting FTA

You can clock the t case and change up that tranny crossmember
