Hmm I'll try LKQ for shits and giggles they're right next door to my work and the lady at the counter gives us employee pricing.

 

Sounds like alot of work to pull the axle tubes off a 80 center and burn new ones on.
be pretty cool to see happen though

 

Nvm scratch that. You cant pull the tubes off a toyota axle like you can a dana or something.

how does centering a toyota axle work?

 

They don't come off, 80 series axles are two piece clamshells. I'm just taking an 80 series 9.5" third and putting it in a Diamond housing and using the 80 series fullfloat outer spindles. That's about as good as you can do for an appropriately sized fullfloater. Anything else is a full-size 1 ton and way too fucking heavy.

 

What about a high pinion ford 9”

would think it be a easier route with the high aftermarket support

 

I got some kacs

 

It's not really easier but it's more expensive for sure. Hi pinion Ford thirds are weaker too, and somehow way more expensive than the low pinion. The diamond housing I want exists already, I just tell them the width and they make it happen and I order the right length axle shafts. I can use a factory 80 third and hubs which keeps the cost down and the 80 third I can set up myself.

Just wait for this

 

selling everything I own to live in one of these doesn't sound so bad some days

people don't do that?

 

I actually didn't pay too much, which should have been another red flag. A stock elocker axle is $800-1000 here, I paid $800 for the diamond housing with 3 RCV shafts, the disk brakes, SS lines, and 2 pairs of drive flanges and acquired my own third

 

You'd be surprised how many people don't.

Those that don't probably only use salt as "seasoning" also...

Thought it was a good deal till I read it

 

Hmmm I have about that in my 80 rear axle.

As for the d60, just get a ball joint one (seriously). With the stronger ball joints companies have produced, the strength difference is kind of moot for what you need with a full bodied tacoma. I would rock one without blinking an eye.

 

life is full of regret


I gave my buddy a 05 SD 60 front builder because it sat in my garage for a year and I decided I wasn't going to swap

 

Just get some 5tons and be fine. I cant imagine a taco ever breaking one of those

 

Meh its all good, i used to be into jeeps so I know all about regrets.
