dug January 28th, 2002, 09:24 pm I want to convert my axle into a full floater. Anyone have one, where to get one? I know Front Range Off-Road Fabrication has a bolt on kit for $750 U.S. Is there anything else? http://www.bc4x4.com/ubb/smilies/cwm29.gif ------------------ now with buggy springs callan January 28th, 2002, 11:06 pm Thats the only kit I've seen so far. ------------------ "Born and Bred To Rip and Shred" Gullygossner January 29th, 2002, 01:04 pm Sorry To take away from your topic dug, but I am courious to what a Full Floater rear end acctually is?? ------------------ 86 4-Runner STILL stock pumpkinmobile January 29th, 2002, 01:45 pm to my understanding a full floating axle allows you to remove the rear axle without removing the rear wheel. it also removes the stress of the weight of the truck on the axle by placing the load on the wheel bearings providing longer axle life.that's about all I know about them. ------------------ wheels, passenger side, roof, drivers side, wheels. am I broken? no . that was fun! Greg January 29th, 2002, 06:14 pm Pumpkin is correct. A Toyota solid front axle is full-floating; ie. if you break a Birfield you can remove the axle and the broken bits, stuff a rag in the housing to stop the oil from leaking out, button it all back up, and drive home. Not that I'd know anything about that. http://www.bc4x4.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Craig in Kelowna was working on a rear full-floater for 86-95 axles; haven't spoken with him for a while so I don't know how he made out. ------------------ Greg Sue 85 Toyota X-cab http://media-north.com/4wd/ Chet January 29th, 2002, 07:14 pm apparently the 1 ton dually Toyotas like the mini motorhomes use have full floaters. With a bit of tinkering I bet it would work with a single rear wheel but the trick is finding one. http://www.bc4x4.com/ubb/smilies/cwm3.gif ------------------ IRC member '83 toyota truck, customized :) callan January 29th, 2002, 11:26 pm Greg would you be able to find out if your friend is making the full floater for the 86-95 axles.Would be interested in maybe buying a set. ------------------ "Born and Bred To Rip and Shred" | |
