Hickory Area - Gear Swaps

[uzj100]

Anyone in hickory or hickory do gear swaps? A friend of mine has a 97 land cruiser and would like to switch to 4.88s.

Thanks,

I have an offroad shop in wilmington, i could do it for him very resonable, definatly less than any other offroad shops, i have this business on the side and have very low overhead

I also work on a ton of cruisers, and am currently restoring a 71 FJ40

I could also come to him and do them there for a little extra

Have him email me sha_ba_do_bang@hotmail.com

or call 252-665-0719

Andy

Toyota axles are like the old Ford 9" which removeable center section (refered to as 3rds, pumpkins, or chunks).

Been arguing this with shade tree's for years; If the chunk is the "third" what are the first and second?

Thought about that too. The wife always just laughs when she hears it. Guessing the axle tubes are 1 and 2 in no particular order.
