CV Axles angle fix?

^^ haha hey me too except I could only get the driver side bolt in. I might have to do some drilling to make it work.
 
how much lift and are your boot fins touching like that?:dizzy:

So now you want to qualify your comment? :dizzy: indeed

The specifics of my lift are irrelevant in my response to your initial statement. According to you, since I have lift I will have to fix my boots. I was just letting you know, based on your parameters, your conclusion is flawed.

this is making me feel a lot better, I feel like a noob all over again. Did your guy's diff drops come with spacers for the skids on top of the ones you stick in the front diff?

The drop kit I ordered from ToyTec did. I didn't have to use them and have since pulled the diff drop out. It does not provide enough drop to risk the pinion bearing running dry. The front pinion bearing sits in an oil bath where the rear is essentially fed oil.

Based on the parameters of op's pics and set up your conclusion is flawed, thanks for taking what Was obviously a silly joke seriously.:croc:

Obviously the silly joke wasn't that obvious.

The only conclusion I drew was that your statement is false based on my personal experience.

The OP hasn't posted a picture in this thread.

OP=gottabetrd...he bumped the thread, you're giving him advice...he posted photos....what planet are you on?
 
So by your comments, I am assuming neither of you two have installed a differential drop? [MENTION=37079]GottaBeTRD[/MENTION] & [MENTION=90938]Rizzels_Runner[/MENTION]
What a differential drop does is partially corrects the front CV shaft angle if you have lifted your truck a couple inches...
Their not imperative but in long term, they will prolong the life of your CV's.

And no bickering. Holy ****. Help people out or go buy a punching bag.
Izzard was replying to GottabeTRD for his post into this similar thread. Rizzel was asking an almost identical question.
Take a chill pill Opie.

[MENTION=68576]Brian757[/MENTION] i have installed a differential drop you probabbly just did not see my original posts but since ive messed around a little with the cvs and just gotten used to the lift im totally fine with knowing that its just normal wear on the cv"s thanks for all the replys. Going wheeling for the first time in MY 4runner this weekend really looking forward to it!
 
yeah thanks for the replies, it makes me feel a little more confident about driving around. I too have the diff drop on mine, I was browsing some pics and saw someone had a lift where their fins weren't even touching. I looked again and realized it was a 4th gen so i guess that could make a difference. But that's why I posted here to see what other peoples looked like after a diff drop and lift.

Cool!
[MENTION=90938]Rizzels_Runner[/MENTION]: Have fun and dont run her too hard! :)
[MENTION=37079]GottaBeTRD[/MENTION]: It is always nice to ask everyone on here a few Q's. Usually getting info from plenty of 4Runner owners is reassurance enough.
