    Does any one know of a site that carries the front axle for the 2005+ tacomas, or of any place? possibly on here?

    get a Dana 60... or try to find a front axle off a Land Cruiser from the 90s. Pretty much any axle will do...its all gonna be custom install anyhow

    Check out Craigslist in your area bud, you could probably find one in decent shape for cheap. Even if you had to have some of the components rebuilt...it's still gonna be cheaper than buying a new one most likely. There are plenty of shops in Cali that have experience in Solid Axle Swaps in Tacomas...just call around :)

    Good luck man! :cool:

    If so, a junkyard is the best place to get that stuff.
