I was so stoked to build a diy drive shaft for my daily prerunner! You crushed my fab spirit at the end 😂 all I do is 80mph everywhere 😂

you can build it and have it balanced
@bustedknuckleoffroadllc50605 жыл бұрын
Guys run “trued” shafts in ultra 4 all the time with speeds around 100mph. Their tires are beadlocks that are not balanced. Some with solid mounted driveshafts. The point is, if your tires are bouncing or your not running on a smooth surface , there is no reason to balance the shaft. True it up and let er eat!

those are some amazing tig welds, did have a question which you may have covered in an earlier video but im a new subscriber, when placing your trailing arms/transfer case, do you have the flange/yoke as close to center of the hing point or does it matter to much as long as it is not excessive?

Most off road rigs don't need balancing. The fitment of these also makes for very little run out or need for balancing.

About balancing: You have a lathe. Spin it up, stick a soap stone near it, work it in until it rubs and makes a mark, put weights opposite the mark? Drill out mass from the center of the mark if on a meaty bit? No? I guess you would know better than I. I know this involves liability and risk in claiming "balanced". Would it help? Is there a better way? How does one balance a drive shaft? A special stress-proof or sch 80 seamless pipe that's internally machined and spec'ed? 4130? Now you've only managed to pique my curiosity on this dammit.

I can't find any videos about flex disc overriding By that I mean get longer bolts turn the shzft and defeat the flex coupler Do it's bolted direct and no longer stretches and wears ou I filled in the shzft hanger mount with urethane So it's sold I filled in the transmission Mount and motor mounts on w115 Diesel mercedes. It only has 68HP so who needs alot if flex.my research shows they make al, the mounts flex so it all rips apart in a crash. But it's 48 years old. Now. Thesedays it is a tank all the big cars are gone..all American cars had no flex couplings and drove just fine. I'm going to try the 3 .pager bolts and do without the flex disc. Have you ever done that turn the shaft and bolt the 3 holes only even keeping the old disc it's just direct now. With 3 empty holes changing the euro car to gm style .
