Project RAIDER X

Some from Michael Jamison:

"Not sure who was looking for this info, they signed as guest, but here is some info if you can set aside your pride of having Toy parts in your Jeep. But it really is a good way to go.

If your AX5 is crapping out every 15,000 miles and you are tired of rebuilding and want a nice front axle too this is for you.

A toy 5 speed tranny will bolt right up to the AX5 bellhousing with no mods. You take the input shaft from the AX5 and put it into the Toy tranny to retain your correct length input. It is about an inch difference. The Toy input bearings goes on the AX5 shaft.

Your stock clutch will work with a Toy pressure plate. slave cylinder is on the opposite side, but otherwise bolts right up, THe speed sensor bolts right up.

You will have to make a custom crossmember. but it is possible to get it damn near flat belly with minor cutting of the tub. driveshaft will be a little short in the rear, but with a standard ujoint shaft it is livable. you have plenty of gearing options for the t case. 4.0, 4.7, 5.0.

You will also have to swap out the front axle to passenger side drop. Been looking at those Scout 44 axles for a swap. Now you can do it.

This all came about on what we did to a buddy of mines YJ.
Trany was shot. He wanted a buildup anyway.
Toy tranny and transfer. Scout 44's 4.88's spool and Ox locker. flat belly sping over and 36's. Worked out pretty good and still works well.

Best of all he has a tranny that will outlast the Jeep."

R150F = AX 15 +

first gen trans would be an L45, L50, L52 or if it's a 4spd, and L43. I wouldn't put any of them behind a 4.0, it will blow apart...I don't think any toy trannies bolt to the 4.0 directly...you can take an AX15/R150F and swap the extension housing and tailshaft though...on an AX5/G54 also.

Honestly, for what you want to do, get an AX15/R150F (the 3.slo trans)...it will hold up the best against the 4.0.

from duffil

so your front axle is d-side drop? why not use that toy axle, so you can keep your pass. side drop and use the t-case that you have? Saves you from buying that $800 adapter

my d44 is pass drop like yota all my jeep stuff is driver

If you use the toy r150f, it's all good...

Oh, well its all gravy then. I didn't get why you posted that inchworm adapter.

ohhhh yeah what is that?

First gen dash cluster. Maybe even some other stuff if you still want them.

I have talked to rj and ffc and I think we might try to cut the tubes on the axle and move it from pass diff to driver and then sleeve the tubes back. This way i can be a cheap azz and also keep all the same gears and steering i have now.

I have a Port-a-Band saw that might be good for that.

OH this is gonna be fun

I'm confused. Are you running the jeep tcase, or running 'yota cases?

I think he is running yota t-cases and just using the jeep motor and tranny and some other odd parts.

cant use the yota tcases noew

?? how come? Are you going to get a d-300 or something nessisary

i dont have the money to buy two transmissions to build one.

i would need an ax5 and a yota trans, i have a ax15 now and to change that over i need a turbo 5 speed yota which is hard to find.

Well thats a pita, so are you going to run your old case or are you going to try and find a cheap solid replacement, ie.. d300, or np205

I thought from your previous post, you would need to use your AX15 (better than the AX5), change the output to an R150 (Yota v6 5sp) and run this adapter from inch ( http://www.inchwormgear.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=34&osCsid=b3d2c4a9f6a33f2edfe0d0a51cbb875a) to your yota t-case???? Am I wrong? (not super familiar with yota stuff yet)

pics soon to follow

engine hooked up exhaust cut and the slave cylinder is undone

ok i got alot of stuff to take out im out of here guys
