changing tyres...while driving ... on two wheels?

[Hoges]

On top of a discussion about renewing transfer case viscous couplings in another part of the forum... this came by email Not being a student of Toyota I'm wondering about the centre diff arrangement which allows the FJ45 to drive on two wheels with the raised two wheels stationary...

How can they do that but drive so bad when they come over here? And I bet that rear diff was cooking

That's no FJ45! This is a 45!

There has to be drive to only the RHS of the car. If htey were locking diffs,t he lifted wheels would be spinning. If they were open diffs, it would stop moving with the lifted wheel spinning like crazy.

Traction control perhaps

Line lock to any wheel you like usually to the front for burnouts

Would be fairly interesting if they dropped one of the wheels while they had them off!! :D:D

I was thinking more losing the wheel nuts

[Kev the Fridgy]

If there open diffs a little left foot braking or if you like "manual traction control" would stop the wheels in there air and load the drive to the wheels on the ground

Wonder if any one has worked out the physics that allows that much weight that far out from the fulcrum point. [ think that's what it's called. ]


Bah, Humbug! :p Bob

The centre of mass is directly over the fulcrum point, that is why it is balanced there! :D

It's black magic , wot it is. No vessel should have a list like thaaat, without , turnin' turtle, aint natural, by the Saints. Bob [ black magic, I tells yer]

If real, you'd want a lot of faith (and psi) in the RHS wheels. :o

Lockers with the axles removed/hubs unlocked from the side in the air?

[wardy1]

Pretty dumb...... but clever too:D

Where the hell did they find a piece of road so long and straight LOL

Something fishy about this. The lower wheels don't seem to be turning. Might be clever editing rather than clever driving.

I'd seen this before but you made me look again.

They seem to be moving to me. The front wheel is not only turning but moving around a heap as the suspension is working and steering to balance it.

Happy Days.

It was on here a week or so back with some discussion as to how the lower wheels kept driving while the upper wheels stopped turning to enable the change.
