Eastcoastcam Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Rob... Is that the "Momster Truck"? Front bumper looks sweet, but why the smaller tires? Just for street use, and swap out to bigger for trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Lol no its not, she wouldn't let me wheel hers so I had to get another one. My grooved out 285s are useless in the snow lol, the 32" km2s are like new. And it's only a 4 banger so best of both worlds I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Upgraded to a tundra coils, a bit more lift. Added a winch and a lightbar. Next step is slightly taller/stiffer rear coils. Also scored 456 rear pot and front housing. Going to try "fozzy locking" the ifs front. Will check back with results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of it is filling the spider gear teeth with weld like in the pic here... Like this allows a quarter turn of the wheels before the two turn together. A bit more Street and parking lot friendly... Link: Fozzy welding gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Some call it "Fuzzy",,,,,, Kind of a locker, but not 100%. Kind of fuzzy........ Sounds like all of the good points of a locker, none of the bad? Or does it blow up differentials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like all of the good points of a locker, none of the bad? Or does it blow up differentials? It's still posi once it moves the couple teeth, maybe it will work on Toyota diff, only seen that done twice, once on a Chev 10 bolt in a camaro, it didn't last long before it spit the spiders through the cover and on a Ford truck 8.8. it turned the carrier pin holes into ovals. Both vehicles we put the diffss back into, i just welded the side gears right to the carrier, that way no load on the pin, it was just there to keep the axles from falling out after. It Reduced the shock loading, the spiders want to walk up the welded teeth and when they do, it puts severe stress in the carrier to the breaking point. The toyota will probably be OK, I won't lie, I know nothing about the strength of yota parts be it ifs or SA. IV only ever welded diff by welding side gears to the carrier. Ran welded front twice, in a cj Jeep and a 1979 chevy. For Street driving in 4x4 I just left one hub unlocked, off roading traction was great. Now I have a auto locker in the front and a broken autolocker in the rear that is always locked in the Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 my 1st upgrade after fixing my niggles, will be an auto locker up front - I loved it in my IFS diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 My fear is busting the carrier. Only one way to find out. The rear is fully locked already. I am a huge fan of welding spiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
