colinswelsh@yahoo.com Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 First of all, thank you so much Linda. I haven't yet been able to compare the connections as I am at work. I have a couple of follow ups to your offerings: -Assuming that the connections match, it seems that you are suggesting that any toyota "mini" truck axle can be made to work? Is that correct? -As for a tracking increase, from the hilux wiki it appears that anything 1978 and beyond would actually increase the tracking. -What do you mean by "2wd" if you want your wheels to match? -As to gear ratios, the Scat is actually a five speed. Are you able to address how this might effect things? -And finally, I am pretty damn sure you know what you are talking about, but I have to ask if anyone here believes that I need to stay dually (ff, of course) for extra safety? Again, I am eternally grateful. Sincerely, Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 No axle widths changed in 86. I think yours is 53 or 55. Hard to find specs for older than 79. From 79 to 85 the axles were 56. Then in 1986 they went up to 58.5 inches wide. This is important to give you stability on the road. A 2wd axle will have 5 lug hubs to match your front wheels. A 4x4 axle will have the Toyota 4x4 6 lug hubs so that's what I meant about wheels matching. Of course with the dually your wheels won't match but if one tire blows in the rear you can drive for quite a while with only one tire back there. I have done it way more than I would like to admit. Once I drove for 250 miles cause I had to get to San Jose to work. Don't do what I do please. Gear ratio's- you probably have a 4.11 differential now. Dropping to a 3.58 will be noticeable when in hilly areas. The Tacoma would give you the widest stance though and the differential can be switched to a 4.10 or 4.58 but of course that means sourcing more stuff and more work. Any axle changes will require welding on new shock mounts and possibly emergency brake cable and lines. Are you doing this work yourself? If not it's going to get expensive. Since any other axle changes require the same amount of work I would just go with the dually you already bought. That is the best case scenario. Most people just can't find them but you got lucky. No guessing about safety or stability or anything really with the full float and it will increase the value of your camper. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdoug Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hello, does anyone have part numbers (6 lug FF) for the the cone washers, washers and nuts that hold the axle shaft on? Does anyone know if the studs that go into the hub and help line up the axle have a part number or are even replaceable? I currently have 1 missing and 1 broken. Also, maybe the correct part number for the gasket that goes between the shaft and hub? My new axle didn't come with any of these and I found a diagram with what I thought were OEM part numbers. Everything I received today seems to be one size too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tstockma Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Linda, I am having one heckuva time trying to replace a snapped left-hand stud, and 2 left-hand lug nuts. Mine's also an '86 22RE, I thought my serno would be close to yours, but there's significant differences... JT5RN75U6G0004024 Yes I have 6-lug axle, as far as I know it's factory not a replacement. So first let me ask, is it safe to replace these left-hand studs with right-hand? I see comments in other threads that Toyota doesn't have studs available any more. You have also referred me to toyotapartsdeal.com in the past, I'll try calling Monday when they're open, but I'm not convinced I've found the right parts there, & them having generic fuzzy images that don't look right, doesn't give me any warm fuzzies. Do you happen to have the part numbers for left-hand studs, left hand lug nuts for your '86? If you do, I trust that, I'm not trusting much anything else. Thanks!

linda s Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Lug stud 90942-02057 lug nut 90942-01009 I'm not recommending Toyota Parts Deal as your place to buy. They are not the most reliable dealer from what I hear. I use them on this site because I can find Toyota OEM parts and part numbers the easiest. These parts are left hand only You should really just ask for the right hand studs. Then you would never have to worry about anyone snapping your lug nuts off because they go the wrong way. Our vin numbers differ because mine is a 112 wheel base RN55 and yours is a 137 wheel base RN75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tstockma Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks Linda - I am in awe at your knowledge. This is all extremely helpful info, if I can slap a singe left-hand nut on that remaining stud for my next trip, that's what I'll do (Ridgway State Park on Oct 9 - and I'm ordering the right-hand studs & nuts. Hey if I have it right, you are also Denver area? If you're interested in Ridgway in 2 weeks, let me know, we're there for a full week & I'll get you the info.

Here are the only listing I can find near Washington. This place says they have 2 410 AUTO WRECKING | Buckley, WA (car-part.com) And this place says they have 2 but they are complete which should include wheels. you need the wheels too. Oregon & A to Z Auto Wrecking | Portland, OR (oregonautowrecking.com) Both places say call for price but these listings have been up for a while. They might not have them anymore. Do you know anyone in Sacramento Ca that has mechanical skills? There is a work truck at the Rancho Cordova Pick N Pull with dual wheels and the correct wheels. Or at least they were still on it when they took the pictures. That would be the cheapest route. Yes people go that far to find the correct axle. How big is your Huntsman. Can you post a pic?

gypsy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi! Glad to find you. I have a 1976 Chinook - which just lost a rear wheel and part of the axle:( In the shop and looking for a replacement.

shandamac Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 This is such a great forum. I learned so much. I know you'll find the help you need here. I recently sold my little Sadie. (Miss her horribly, but know she is making her new owners and their young children very happy). When I bought her, she still had her original light rear axle. I live in Oklahoma, and found the recommended 1 ton axle at a Salvage Yard in Arizona. Had it shipped and installed. One thing I forgot to purchase was the sway bar. Windy day driving was quite an adventure. 🙂 Wishing you lots of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. P. Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 It’s a 1985 I’m going to look at it today I was just wondering what I can look at to identify it I don’t want to drive a dangerous vehicle I have a picture of the front wheel it’s five lug just a spare tire is there a tag on the rear end should I get a picture of the VIN is there an upgrade available in about how much does it cost if I have to upgrade the rear end? Here is a picture of the spare wheel I don’t know what you can tell if anything from at any advice is very helpful also are there patch panels available for the frames on this thing if the frame is bad it’s just something I can do about it?

fred heath Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Rear axle: 1 or 2 tires on each side?, how many lug nuts do the rear wheels have 5 or 6? A picture of the rig including the rear wheels will be a big help. If only 5 lug nuts and duel wheels on the rear, the axle is UNSAFE and will need to be upgraded. Frame rust is another serious issue separate from the axle. We’re you told there were frame issues? or are you just asking for general knowledge? Light surface rust is expected. Any rot issues and I would just walk away. Cost of frame repair would be astronomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. P. Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Update I just spoke to the owner he said it is a 1986 and there are two wheels on each side on the back still haven’t been able to pop hubcap and get a picture I was going to go today but I may not I don’t know yet does anyone know if this things worth buying and trying to put the whole thing on a more modern Toyota pick up truck has anyone done that yet if the frame is indeed junk? Definitely definitely a Mirage and it definitely has dual wheels the spare tire has five lugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Pop the hubcap. You need to know how many lugs the rear wheels have. Have the owner pop a hubcap and send you a picture. Might save you a trip. Axle upgrades can run from $2-4 K depending on parts and labor. The 5 lug spare could go to the front wheels. You need to pop a rear hubcap and count the lugs. Or post the picture here. We’ll know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 In 1986 the front wheels were 5 lug and the rear's were true dually, the good ones. So now your only issue is rust. Like Fred said, rusted out frames are toast. Moving a house section to another truck requires lots of equipment and mad skills. Not for everyone. If there's an ad somewhere you should let us see it. Sometimes we can see problems just from the pictures. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewanderlustking Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 A house transfer probably isn't worth it. I don't know that model, if it is a fiberglass solid shell like the Sunraders, it makes a little more sense to try it. But you are making wild assumptions about condition without actually going and taking a look. Go, look, take tons of pictures, start up a thread here and put them up. Everyone can take a look and figure out what you are looking at. To figure out if it is worth it, you need to go take a look and take pictures. And know your motivation level. My Mini Cruiser that I got in 2019 in pretty good shape, has still taken me until now to really get it road worthy. Again, go look! Grab pictures and start a thread on it!

linda s Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 First true duallys were made from 8/1985. Remember when next years model came out in the fall of the previous years. That's the case here too but yes he still must check the rear wheels. Some states title by when the vehicle was first sold and it is possible it's the fake duallys. Rear wheels should look like this Linda S Oh and for wanderlust, a Mirage looks like this.

Tris Mahaffay Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Re: Rear Axle Well, I hope I have come to the right place, anyone what to tell if if this is a safe setup for this tiny 16' Toyota Motorhome. I am very familure on Toyota axles, we have a 1985 4x4 truck as well as a 1988 4Runner. And I used to have a 1980 2wd pick up. My question is can I run this setup (in the pics) or does it need to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 That’s the bad axle. It will need to be upgraded. Weigh your rig both total weight, and weight above the rear axle. You might be able to get away with single rear wheels. If weight over rear wheels is less than 4K pounds (fully loaded) you can use singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Single wheels are the answer but you might want to get some slightly wider tires with a higher load max. I would only put these on the rear. I don't know if your truck has room in the front to still steer freely Rosava BC-44 205R14 109/107Q Tire (prioritytire.com) And a sway bar in the back to increase stability ADDCO 229: Rear Sway Bar 1970-1978 Toyota Pick-Up - JEGS High Performance Not cheap but a fraction of the cost of installing a different axle Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Mahaffay Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thanks! how about the least amount of offset on the rim to help move the rim a little more centered in the wheel well. I was thinking of using all terrain 14" like these: https://www.tireamerica.com/tires/sku/General/General Grabber A/TX/27X8.50R14LT 95Q C/000000000001105915?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrsudsLzq9QIViiGtBh3fxQ9KEAQYBSABEgKqVvD_BwE We are desert campers.

linda s Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Stock offset is either -20 or -35. Can't find exact for your year but I'm assuming yours is a 1978? Let me know if I'm wrong. I wouldn't go farther than the 35 to make sure there isn't too much strain on the bearings. Might be a good time to have your rear bearings serviced too. With those fake duallys on it there might already be some damage. Those tires will work fine for you rig in the rear. I don't know if they will work in the front. You need to be able to steer freely.

I'm not sure I understand what these rear hubs look like when they are apart....is it 2 rims sharing the same lug bolts??

Tris Mahaffay Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 also....another question. Back in 1986 Toyota made a 1 Ton pickup. Im wondering about what axel would have been in that truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The regular axle. Only changes between the regular and the 1 ton were staggered shocks and heavy duty leaf springs. On the good side if you want to change to a later axle yours is only 53 inches wide. Axle width on the 84 to 88 will be 57 inches. More stability and won't look so set back. Some adjustments need to be done to get the pinion to fit. I'll hopefully be able to find what others did Linda SW The wheels look like the welded ones. Won't know unless you take them off. You're still going to want new wheels to fit those fat tires anyway. You kind of need a 7 inch wide wheel. Originals are only 5.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
