    Yes. LROR and ordered a pair.

    Going to do both at the same time while I have the press fixture and everything out. It's a pretty easy job really now that I have the press fixture and have done it twice.

    Me too. And the options are used or these.

    Could've called up Yota Jim again and see what he gets for an axle shaft, but then who knows what I'm getting and I would want to go through changing bearings anyways. For the price of these seems like it'll be worth it. :notsure:

    They should be stronger. If i find bent shafts any my other trucks thats what Id go for.

    Doesn't seem hard to bend them doing what we do with bigger tires. But not surprising as they have no support at all other than the outer bearing and at the diff.

    Time for a full floater, they're much easier to change bearing and shafts on haha

    Yeah actually finding an LC rear axle has crossed my mind. Think those are semi float though.

    I know you can find junk yard 9'' ones though for decent money. Id do that if I could find one for a good price.

    nice. Thats what Id go for for a cheap option.

    Though not easy to find.

    Most probably wouldn't want the extra width too though in minimal.

    For some reason AZ is cruiser heavy. Lots of these big heavy bastards down here and more than a couple being parted out cheap on CL.

    Thought you were going t-100. If you actually want one I bet we could arrange a TW express situation for the next trip.

    nah i really don't want to haul an axle around for a whole trip haha

    Yeah I have a t100 axle sitting around. But that could go in Igor to run outboard shocks. Full floater would be better in Frank and isn't the rear diff a 9.5'' R&P?
