Mike, have you gotten any further on those adapter/spacers for Toyota lockouts that you mentioned?

Also, will the Toyota CV shaft fit into the Trackick knuckle without modification? Do you have to have the front widened to allow the larger Toyota CV's to fit, or are they the same length as stock Trackick? So, if one were to do a Toyota IFS swap, the only thing one would need for the front end is the differential, CV shafts, and lockouts, right?

Actually 37Kicker is working on it. He made spacers to adapt toy cvs and lockouts to fit into a stock tracker diff and knuckle.  He has them done now. They are a tight fit and some trackers will require to be widened. 37Kicker (Stan) has had a modified version of this kit in his rig for a while now and it works great. If you want more details try PMing him. he usually checks in here once a day.

Hey explosivo,

You thinking about dropping the SAS idea and going to a stronger IFS set up??

Cool, I'll drop him a line... I just remember you posting about it

For now... there's a few issues with steering and the likes that I'm a little wary on... plus I don't feel like tossing out my perfectly good 3" Calmini lift for half the price I payed for it I guess I'll just put the Cruiser axles in the back of the garage and wait until I have the money to do an SAS right.

This is good news. I take it that these are now ready? A couple of questions that I and I guess others would like to know the answers too.

Will this work on a stock setup? Any mods?

Will this work on the Calmini 3"? Any Mods required ?

Will this work on the widened Calmini 3"? Any mods required?

What model/year parts do we need to source? Any mods required?

Cost of spacers?

Edit: Toyota Hilux?  do they make those in the US?

yep a hilux is just a foreign term for pick up!   prob anything from '86 to '95 will be what he used. toyota guys throw the stuff out so it should be easy to find. gear sets are cheap as well.

to answer your ??'s  it will fit stock type tracker susp. w/ some mods, you must widen front end like mike does, a little clearancing on spindles&you must cut & weld adapter flange to the stub side.i have one in a kick with a 13/4" spacer lift now works great. i am installing them in a cal mini lift shortly but at most ill have to widen front. the should be bolt in a kick w/ cal mini lifted veh. w/ the anvil with spindle clearancing. donor 88 toy pu. ifs& style 4 runners. the thing is you can find the parts any where no custom shafts.cost is $300. plus shipping. you supply cv's & lockouts    hope this answers your ??'s       thanks for your interest     stan

I was wondering about that part also!!

On the back/top side of the spindle about 1/8 inch of metal needs to be ground off about 1 inch long. When you slide the toy shaft through the spindeit will be clear where to grind. If your not running the Anvil the stub shaft on the pass side will need to have the toy flange welded on. The same as the widen artical but use the inner flange he provides.

So wait, the adapters that are being made are to mate yota CV's to an anvil? I thought it was going to be the whole front assembly (including yota diff housing)...

My questions are all aimed towards making the CV shafts work with the Tracker knuckles (ala the pirate link posted above)... so to do the swap (diff and CVs), all I would need is the spacer for the lockouts, correct?

No, you use the diff you have. You do not need an Anvil. An anvil would make it easier but not neccicary.
