    Dammit y'all stop that haha. I don't want to start over and build another set of axles.

    But tons would be stronger and cost the same as built diamonds..

    Tons are the stepping stone to a v8 swap and you know you want that.

    02 Tacoma, fixed with curse words.

    If you get a ruff stuff or a diamond you are going to have to build it anyway. A 14b is dirt cheap (i found one on my friends neighbors property and he gave it to me for free) and requires no mods except a brake change, check the bearings, weld the pumpkin to the tubes, shave it, and re-gear if needed. The front 60 may need some work, but even then if you are linking it you can run it stock for a while and add the bling parts as time and money permits....


    Damnit why am i flipping an fj 60 axle?

    Yes I'd still have to assemble the axle but I wouldn't have to buy shafts, gear, bearing, u joints, steering arms, ect like I would if I pick up a stock d60

    But with a SD 60 you would only need gears, locker, drive slugs, and steering.

    Thanks.

    I hadn't considered building living quarters under a wedge, that's a novel idea. For myself, I prefer to stand up to get dressed in the morning.

    Could always put a slide in truck bed camper at the front of the trailer for living quarters. Two of the guys in my off-road club have theirs set up like that.

    That's my plan, I just need to find a deal on one. I had my eye on a couple new models, but the lack of dealers in my area and the price point is pushing me towards finding a used unit.

    Just look at the build thread
    I looked at putting one on my gooseneck when I had it but damn they were proud of those things. Even for a decent used one. Decided I was just going to frame out a camper on the front of mine.

    Yeah I was looking at prices today and they are stupid high. I haven't seen one yet but you can also put a pop up camper sideways at the front.

    Yup. I can buy a brand new 30' bumper pull for the same price as a short bed truck camper.
