ok how about throwing 60 axles under it

You've already got disk brakes which would be the main reason to do that. The other is they are about 100mm wider but rekon it would be far easier to fix what you've got and get some rims with a bigger offset.

Just my opinion though...

ok but can your drum axle be change to disc

what actually failed coxsy, I've lost a couple of front hubs before but its never made a mess like that? The bearings look pretty dry in those photos?

well the fire in the hub burned a lot of oil before put it out , there is a stub of axle still in the hub , we haven't done a full pull down yet , tonight hopefully

exactly what i thought, and theres probably the fact that it fuckered the twin locking nut set up and caused it to 'liberise' itself...

Coz you can see the wheel was still on on the side of the motorway, the lock nuts must have still been on the end of the stub axle at that stage, so was it a failed wheelbearing that decided to heat up to 1,000,000 degrees celcius that caused all that damage?

pulled the hub apart 50mm of spined axle in there the munched remains of a locknut and a lot of boken hub locks

That is the side it fell over onto, up at Rallywoods QBW. Might have contributed to the failure

yes righthand side

went down to terrain tamers in manukau they have NEW hubs, stub ,axles, axles, so the problem is not as big as I first thought , love good news

didn't find a spring in the righthand axle lock wrong was there saw it tonight

was going to help put the 40 together tonight hit a bump i know nothing of the cv joints on toymotas , so we will throw the left wheel back on, transport it to a garage to be done next week

the repairs

we back on the road again

You are lucky that NZ Bus and Truck didn't have to get the parts from Australia - I have twice been subject to their 5 week runaround special of BS, with my truck stuck up on hoist, about parts being ordered and lost btween branches in Aus and then Japan and then the parts arriving in NZ and then needing extra milling etc etc etc etc

been told i have paid to much of the bits , but its running again , so now we can fix all the other bits that are wrong, bent, missing ,rusted, don't fit,don't work, ie a toyota

Sounds like you brought a real gem and really appreciate the FJ40 for the 4x4 icon it is

yes rebuild the axle hubs next, buy spare cv.s, rust,
