[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 471618, member: 412"] All opinion. Theres a difference between not liking Toyota axles because you're breaking them and not liking them because they don't gather enough :tc when you pull up to an obstacle. Guys like clemsonjeep hammer on their samurai's on toy axles and they seem to do fine, others break stuff. Get the right balance of weight and HP right and you can make some toy axles live. Stickies are always going to test that limit though. Since we are throwing out opinion... I've done the 4cyl and toy axles thing in a Toyota a couple of times...then I got the wild hair to put tons under it and link the back because I felt I was at the limit of the Toyota stuff. Really, I was lazy about maintenance and kept breaking knuckle studs. After the swap it was cool, it was big but it was clumsy. Needed a bigger engine to tote all that weight around. 2 scenarios to not go to tons: Save weight but withstand a beating 1) If you want to keep some mini truck yota axles alive, mainly the front. F the rear...they take a damn beating in stock form. Start with any straight axle Toy front Truss it, knuckle ball gussets, brace the steering stops, diff guard then stuff some RCV's and drive flanges in it. Run a HP 3rd with a V6 carrier and a spartan and some stock 4.10's. Probably the strongest combo of housing/guts, IMO. If you've got it all apart, some ARP knuckle studs are a cheap and easy upgrade too, but keep the stock ones snug and theyll last a while, I was just lazy and never checked em. Too busy :drinkers: :woot: to care in the past. 2) FJ80 Front: Wider, already has drive flanges, beefier housing, bigger knuckles, Already a HP 3rd. Just find one thats open and do the same as above: All 30spl RCV's, V6 Carrier and a spartan with stock 4.10's. [/QUOTE]
