Aha, thakns for the info there Dan! Since I'm trying to stick to the "Keep it simple" theme, I think I'll keep Drums on the truck unless I find it absolutely necessary to upgrade later.
Tonight, I took the rear brakes and hubs off WITHOUT braking any bolts! Eureka!! Soon that rear axle will be off. Actually, I think I may have to remove the engine/trans/TC first since I'm afraid that all the frontal weight will make the frame pivot foward right off the stands...lol
I really think I'm going to go with a Sals rear now (after all the reading and comparing I've done).
After I get the bulkhead off, I should have a bare frame soon.
For anyone else reading or searching (Keywords: AXLES , AXLE , Salsbury , Toyota , Yota , Toy )... Here were the axle options I was considering..
- Keeping the Rover diff and upgrading to XHD 10 Spline Axles from Series Trek
- Salsbury Axle Swap
- 4.7 Tundra Third
I think the Salsbury option is going to take the cake.
