Charles I have a FZJ-80 Toyota Land Cruiser with Locking, Full floaters front and Rear. Sounds like you are building a beast. Love the looks and build quality of all of the LC's. The FJ-40 is the best. Can you post some pictures on the "other" forum?

Pit Bull,



I started a thread to see pics of what you tow with your Cummins.

I would have to agree with charles on this I think you guy's may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. I am also heavy into 4 wheeling and have a 78 ford truck with a 460 in it that I'm currently building a new dana 60 for the rear of but only redoing the outers on the 44 in front. I run 38x15. 5x15 on the truck currently and deffinately abuse it hard and will admit the 44 equipment will break but it's truelly a rare occasion and parts are som much more plentifull , But to tell you the truth every one is worried about axle strength I've only broken one axle on that truck since going to the 38's but I have blown out the gears so I worry about the gear strenght the most. And if your not shock loading your axles you'll never break one of these front end aside from the stupid engagement sytem.
