Rear steer!

[myexonenine]

Thinking of doing rear steering on my 84 runner, just wondering what everyone thinks of the plan?
I plan on using 2 front axles from the 80 series landcruiser, hopefully this will give me 5.29 or 4.88 with high pinion diffs. I will install a quick release bar to hold the rear wheels straight when on the road, it will connect from on of the steering arms to the axle itself. I will also have to setup a hydrolic ram to do the steering part with in cabin controls, I would like a double ended ram but not sure how hard they are to source.
I'm thinking I will have to figure out the rear spings too, as they might be too far apart for a front axle.

Go for it.

ditch the high pinion in the rear. i know the land cruiser axles are stronger but i hope this is going on a light buggie because its goin to really work the birfs.

"i hope this is going on a light buggie because its goin to really work the birfs."

Is this because I will be driving on them most of the time eg 2wd?

"ditch the high pinion in the rear."
Can I ask why? Is this so the pinion is driving on the right side of the crown wheel teeth? Just guessing

high pinions in the rear are weaker since the it driving on the coast side not the drive side. The birfs will see a ton of stress in the rear usually when u climb because there is a ton of wight on the rear. people broke dana 60s a lot with rear steer before they started runnin alloy shafts and CTMs.
