hey man

guess what my rear end is done. need a truck bed and then shocks and my driveline and the rear is done.

as far as these axles go if you want factory lockers you need like a 95 fzj80 those had the lockers in them and i dont think they are any wider.

The axles are a bit wider I think. You can get them with front high pinion and rear low pinion E-lockers. plan on spending a hell of a lot. The last set I saw sold which were complete were $2500. I think you can still get either 3rd member complete with lockers from a toyota dealer though, then modify normal axles to take them.

ya i just want the front axle and then i'll get axle spacers for the rear. but i rolled my truck on the road saturday and got my license suspended for reckless driving i'm gonna post pics so if any body has any good ideas on what to do with the fenders and stuff let me no. i'm planning on redoing the hole suspension doing a exo and whatever else i can get done before i get my license back hopefully before moab springbreak.

did you see the pics ??? i used a die grinder cut off wheel and i traced it out just a nice round arch and then cut it off.

i cut as high as you can but on your truck u can cut them high and then straight off int he front


my new fender i cut off straight in the front nad removed the bumper ends.


but ya i have the rear done now just shocks....

maybe you should get some fiberglass fenders for the front ..
