Custom c/v

I'm working on a crazy irs conversion that needs axles, anyone have ideas that might help? It's a toyota hilux with an lq4 swap and an is300 diff (using mkiii supra internals/lsd). It's long traveled out, so they will need an extra length and outers that are compatible with the 4wd truck front knuckles/hubs. I can't use the t100 axles that work in the front (3" longer than hilux but otherwise identical) because the front diff is offset mounted. I'm kind of early in the process but I have the is300 diff and some is axles to try, and I have spare front hilux axles. I'm hoping that I will get lucky and the is300 axles will be the right length and will mate with the hilux outers so they plug right in but it's unlikely. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Talk to The Driveshaft Shop. They'll hook you up

I used Constant Velocity of Ocala for the CV joints for the S2 Europa, connecting from a Toyota C50 to 1960's Lotus hubs. There are only like 2 places left in the US that will touch a CV joint. One in LA and these guys in Ocala. The LA ones would not even bother returning my call. These guys were not cheap, but did a good job.

This is what they do. They might not get it right the first time, but they'll work with you. I have a set of halfshafts for a 2016 Miata running a Camaro diff sitting here from them...

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted.

When I dropped a Toyota 2GR with the E153 (MR2) gearbox into my Lancia I needed the inboard CVs from the Toyota and the outboard CVs from the Lancia. I determined the length I needed and sent a sketch and both of the inner CV races to Moser Engineering. $400 later I had two half shafts.

That sounds like a kickass rig. Is there a place to see the build?

I was under the impression that changing the length of a CV shaft with a welder and a well fitted sleeve isn't all that difficult as they don't spin all the fast (less balance issues).

They take a lot of torque, so they usually snap soon after.

Well if yur gonna do it diagonal cut sleeve ends moar better than square cut sleeve ends. Press fit sleeves. Add plug welds too.
