Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't been on in awhile, been enjoying the truck instead of spending $$$ and time on it! I will reach back out to them but I haven't seen them updated on the website yet. I'll post an update after I talk to my contact over there. Stay Tuned and thanks for everyones patience.

OK. I sent the OP a PM a few days ago and haven't heard anything back. I also called and spoke with RCV on Thursday. They have finished the 3rd Gen CV's and they are now for sale.

I stumbled on this thread in my research a few months ago. Since then I've kept an eye on it hoping to see some life back in it. Since there's not much going on I am reaching out to the folks mentioned above to see if there is any interest in actually doing a group buy for these. If there is I will start a new thread.

I am planning on ordering these within 2 weeks max so this will happen fast if your still interested. If you guys are please quote this thread so I can get a notification.

The list price for the 3rd gen CV is $1995.

Thanks

It's all good guys. I ended up not waiting and ordered them at 12:30 today. They'lll be here early next week.

I used Eric at Yotamasters. He's a damn fine shop that I've done some other business with before. I saved a few bucks and he made a few bucks. It was a win/win. If you ever decide to get them give him a call and tell him Matt with the dual cases from Bishop told you to call.

Bringing this one back to life to see if the axles were worth the money?

Would you do it again, knowing what you know now?

Thanks!

I've wheeled the hell out of those CV's for almost a year. I haven't had to change one since putting the RCV's in. I would do it again without any reservations. It's so nice to be able to use my front locker whenever I need to without worrying about breaking CV's.

Never wheeled my T4R but setting it up to do so. I never thought IFS was that great for serious off roading with the CV weakness. Looking at all the videos of guys wheeling the crap out of them has me with a new found respect. I dont know how modified they are but most were not locked up front.

Why would a locked front cause breakage over a non-locked. I would think it would be the other way around??

BTW I thought about a SAS but getting back into the T4R I just dont want to lose that ride quality.

Unlocked front, yes it can have more wheel spin, but the spinning tire doesn't have traction, its never wedged against something.

With a locked front, if you have a tire wedged between two rocks or under a ledge, it can snap. Locked diffs can actually transfer power unlike unlocked diffs.

I've always thought that if/when a spinning front tire does find traction (unlocked rig) is the reason they frag vs a locked rig getting traction.

Guessing you can find scenarios in both setups where CV's take a chit but I will defer to the experts who actually wheel with IFS. I know SFA shafts/ujoints go when under a ledge too.

They can, but typically when one tire finds traction the power gets transferred to the other side that has less traction so it protects the CVs a little that way when unlocked.
