Rear TTB?

[Ozwynn]

So can the axles from the 50 be made to fit the 44 housing?

thats kick ass, you ever take it to the desert or a desert like terrian? did you put coilovers on there? do you still have it??

it was never actually completed,though i did drive it around some.it just had 6'' lift springs for a ranger front with custom buckets,and some long bds shocks.
i was building it just before i ended up moving to the islands,and it was either bring that or the big ranger...i couldn't bring everything.

so i cut it up and scrapped it.

Did the rear wheels turn at all or just fixed to go straight?

I bet a setup like that could take jumps all day.

it was set up for rear steer.some of the parts that were bought for the rear steer on this are actually in the shorty explorer now for it's rear steer.

i would imagine it wasn't rear steer... there should be some kind of hardware showing, shouldn't there?

it's there,justall tucked up between the frame rails.you can just make out a tie rod end on the left side.

It looks like the FSB guys are doing it for the easy to find stock 4:10 gears.

that makes sense...d44 4.10s can be hard to find.ironically,i'm in the process of doing a gear swap on a d44 right now-the customer wants 3.73s,the stock ones i'm removing are 4.10s.which means i now have to find a different carrier.

So can the axles from the 50 be made to fit the 44 housing?

only if you also use the 50 outers,which are the same as 60 outers except for the knuckle.it takes a bit of fab,but i've done it a few times.

I am going to remember this.

I am going to remember this.

this is what a 44 arm looks like modified to take the 50 outers.the top balljoint is the same,but the lower is larger,as well as further down.the 'c' needs to be openned up to clear the bigger u-joint,as well.

Maybe so, but it looked like it kicked some butt to me:

That is actually a pretty well setup hydraulic rear steer for a TTB, not scary at all.

Sure both links are equal length and generally centered between the beams, however the links should be of equal length to the beams and follow the path of the beams. If you watch that video closely, he rarely lands straight and has to aggressively counter the bumpsteer. Even with all four tires on the ground you can see huge toe changes as the suspension cycles, even under acceleration and braking.
