$600, not 900....
But yeah, don't dump stupid money on a yota axle of you ever have big tire dreams or bigger than 4cyl engine...

Correct ^^ FJ80 RCV's with the 30/30/30 spline upgrade lists for $885 (or did when I bought mine). Ain't checked prices since.

Holler at RCV! Don't tell'em you know me though! Jokes.
They made all of Bobby Long's stuff before Tina sold the company rights to TG. So now, RCV sells their own product direct. Best, always has been.
80-series RCV's is half the price as D60 RCV's and same sized bell. You can buy all the parts for a yota "1-ton" for the same amount you can build a D60 built right, so it's a wash. It'll always be a "chevy vs ford style argument", but in the end, it'll be what you feel will make you happiest.

I am doing the minitruck rcvs due to weight, cost and warranty. 40 inch tires and smaller equals no questions asked replacement. With a 22RE and smaller than 40 inch tires I should be fine. Rear steer application should still hold up too. That gives me monetary wiggle room for better powersteering, coilovers, brakes, etc.

I wouldn't do a stickie if your going that big! 37 is about the limit on stickies 39" is all a mini or Tacoma diff want ps the 8.4 is the strongest rear diff hp 8" for the front 4.10 gear!

Re: Re: Looking for the toyota Chromoly shaft discussion
Same 8" diffs that in my fj80 and ifs rear isn't it? I've broke 2 Longfields and a set of Arp hub studs and never had a lick of problems from the diffs on 39 sticky ickies. I think he will blow them mini truck RCVsup before anything in the diff lets go. Chad's Sami has mini truck axles under it on 37" reds and he's broke about everything possible in them until he finally got em built right. Only thing I recall him breaking the past few times is axles.al1tonyota said:

Re:
Unless he runs shitty brand gears in the diffs, then it could be a different story? Idk it could be a crapshoot. Rcv's are pretty strong just as Longfields were, but obviously my diffs are not a noticeable weak point or I'd already had one blow up

Your FJ80 front has a HIGH PINION 8"
which is exactly what Adam said was the strongest front diff.
and the Tacoma "8.4" is the strongest rear diff... but it won't bolt into a "regular" housing (pre-tacoma), but of course the taco axles are pretty easy to find.
If you set the gears up really damn tight and deep, and use a solid pinon spacer instead of a crush sleeve, then they hold up OK, and will break axles before gears... usually.

I'm running 37" sticky Treps on my buggy. 5.29 gears, front & rear steer. Have real Longfield 30-splines in the rear with drive flanges. Front was Longfield 27-spline with chromoly hub gears but I broke the long side shaft at Harlan so I'm upgrading to 30-spline RCV's & drive flanges. No other breaks or issues before the shaft at Harlan. But my little Dohc 1.6 and auto trans isn't what I'd call a powerhouse.
My RCV's & flanges were $725 to my door from ECGS.

Re: Re: Looking for the toyota Chromoly shaft discussion
Ahhh missed the mention of the hp.
Question on Taco rear diffs. Am I correct that non e locker rear diffs are 8.4" and e locking rears are 8"? Thought I read that somewhere back when I had my old Taco

Jd you got one of those POS 22r's I was talking about earlier! Only prob with taco rears with 8.4 or maybe all of them is the housings are thinner at the spring perch! Not as much of a problem if linked!

22r/re and some reds and I think you could make some Mini truck axles live as long as the truck doesnt weigh a ton. We have a guy that wheels with us that had a pretty hefty exo'd first gen that would kill ring gears with even some 37" swampers...no diff issues since he went to ECGS built diffs though. But before that, I attribute a lot of his breakage to how heavy the rig was compared to a few that were cookie cutter builds in our group that got flogged with no breakage.
I went through this debate when I was getting stuff together for my Sammi...It was going to be a 3rz, single 4.7 case and FJ80 axles stuffed with the all 30spl RCV's and stock 4.10's. Had most of the big parts but then I got lazy, sold it all and bought something that was done. Way cheaper and I'm already wheeling laughing1 The plan on that one was to build it to hold up to reds eventually. I firmly believe once you go from a 22r/re to a 3rz or even turbo'd version of a 22r/re that the extra HP will help you annihilate mini truck axles all day long even if you try to build it as light as possible. Example is GONOVRIT's buggy...a few twisted or broken 60 shafts and blown up ring gears in his steering 60's with 39 reds and a 22ret running about 10psi. That extra woopow is too fun to not use.

9.5s are a ok idea, but the pinion is the same size as the 8", and you are still limited to 30 spline.
I'd run a taco rear axle over a 9.5 myself.

No one ever strips the R&P's in the back of cruisers. I even know folks WITH tacos that have 80-series rear axles under their rigs. I can not think of a single cruiser guy with a taco rear axle under their cruiser. But I'll let ya'll have it. I'll juss be over here wheeling on 39's...
