Don't you have longer axils for the center mounted diff?

Mike what is the carrier/diff.............9" or stock ?

Don't you have longer axils for the center mounted diff?

 
CVs? I built 2 passenger side Maxima shafts, they are like 6 inches longer than the drivers side ones I used to run. I sold my old ones to Zig.

Mike what is the carrier/diff.............9" or stock ?

9" or stock diff in the front?

Yep, CV shafts...  It's late.

I was just wondering how much longer "CV 1/2 shafts"   it took.

Hey Mike what happens when I ask a question?  

You become Stevie Wonder?

At least tell me it's none of my business so I don't sit here like a puppy at S. Kramers feet!

Kerry, I'm not answering for Mike,   But looking above I saw this information.     Modified anvil with 2 short side shafts center mounted.

9" or stock diff in the front?

This is actually a Calmini prototype Anvil. It has the same axle stub you have but this one has 2. One for each side.

NEXT

Whitfield your missing the point............

What we are suggesting and hope to implement is a hybrid housing, ala Anvil type, that can be installed without fabbing, modifiying, cutting, welding of anything. Using simple hand tools and a floor jack and a few hours of time.

Install the housing (Unobtanium) to the exsisting mounting points, then install stronger larger axle shafts(TORA TORA)........Done!

Kerry I agree with your model near 100% though your projected price scared the heck out of me.  I enjoy building in the shop almost as much as wheeling.  Dropping that kind of cash on some one elses stuff is a big step for me.  

If this product were available and i had it under the front of my kick, then I'd quit dreaming about building my own centered diff and CV's.  Until that day comes I'll continue to ramble about my ideias and what I think I need.  

I hope the Unobtanium Ideia happens but until it does and hits RETAIL, it is sorta like waiting for the RRO Rock Father, or Trail Tought lift or Shrocks Kick bumpers & sliders...    

Meanwhile I'll keep dreaming about a centered kick rear up front (Free 5.13's) with Toyota IFS shafts.

"Modified anvil with 2 short side shafts center mounted."

This describes the following:

2 stub shafts
Center mounted diff.........What Diff? 9", front Tracker, Rear tracker, 44, 20,30,60, which one?

I agree with you whitfield. I would rather spot than drive..see it working. But building is the most enjoyable, Yes I agree.

As for price.....Anvil-$589..A pair of upgraded axles for a  sammy  $400............Not all that out of line with whats out there.

This has been a great thread guys!
Thanks to all of you for participating.

Having gone SAS and wanting to stay IFS this has really given me some great ideas.

I MAY have missed it, but I don't think that anybody has looked at modifying the oil pan to make centering the diff a little easier.

EDIT:  Yup, I missed it - CJ said a Sami Oil pan could be used.

After a reply like that you dont deserve a response THIS ISNT PIRATE!!!

For the rest of you that do deserve a response...

It was late and my computer gave me the blue screen of death while responing to Kerrys post. I was tired went to bed but, I actually thought my post had posted though.

Mike

Sorry to have ruffled your feathers....

I noticed though that the question has still not been addressed.........Hey mike if you are not a liberty to say then just respond appropriately.
It won't "upset" me
.....as obviously this inquiry seems to have you a bit on edge.  Not being a wise ass just.......well I have a sense of humor that obviously is not conveyed well on the cyber waves.............But Hey......
what diff ya using?
Sorry that you had probs with your computer. If I was a mind reader I would have known that there was trouble in RPM'ville and wouldn't have "poked fun (sophmoric at that) at the Calmini/Kramer TROOPS"!
Of course if I was a mind reader I would know what diff...........HEY HEY!!!

This is just my observation & opinion about you (kerrywittig)

I Posted this once before in the Water Cooler and as colorful as it is,  
you seem to apply yourself to the last excerpt of that posting.[/color]

Life is all about ass;  
we're either covering it,  
laughing it off,  
kicking it,  
kissing it,  
busting it,  
trying to get a piece of it,  
or behaving like one ...  

I consider Mikerpm4x4 to be a great contributor and a pioneer in the field of the home brewed inventions that work with his 4x4 setup and many others here in ZukiWorld. So to be harassing the man is very un-cool. And the way your treating him offends me.

THIS IS JUST MY TWO CENTS...

My god, I haven't cursed at Mr Hagen, as he has towards me  Who you callin' the Pirate Mikey??
I did ask what diff are you using and he has not even yet told me, for an "out"  I even suggested that he might not be able to share that info and I would drop the subject.
I Don't get this "Church" of Mike Vibe that's going on here. I asked a question and people get upset when  I question with some humor, that obviously must either being doing 2 of 3 things.
1. Some people here have no sense of humor and are overly sensitive..........
2. I have asked a question which is unappropriate, " What diff are you using Mike?"


Now that's 2.......... the 3rd which I don't dare include because it may well hurt someones feelings, I would rather not display.........Oh what the hay.........here goes...............OR
3. The humor has, "Hit the nail on the Kramer, I mean the Head"
(NOTE* that was humor there, my humor, but still thought I should explain, Don't want to hurt somebody's feelings, Opps that's humor again)!!

Meaning(I feel I should explain myself so as not to "upset" anyone at church*, (humor again)) Mike is helping Calmini to develope a new product and therefore can not share certain info at this time........That fine and would be an understandable explanation....So now that we have that out of the way!

"Hey Mike what diff you using?"

I will in the future always denote humor with an asterik(*) so as not to offend, enrage or cause the initial thread to be hijacked by soap opera squabbling,........ notice there is no asterik cause I was being serious, Now let's get back to the point of this thread...........How about a new housing that will accomadate a larger R&P. and upgraded axles too!! Anyone got ideas or experience doing that and would like to "share"!
