Pre-96 4Runners and Pre-95 Pickups (Tacoma's) have passenger side drop transfer cases. So if you swap one of those transmissions into a 3rd Gen 4Runner or Tacoma that gives you the drop you need to use Toyota Axles.
Another option that I'm currently doing is, take a rear FJ60/62 axle cut the ends off and have some mini balls cut down .025 inch press them in and now you have a 66" WHS to WMS 9.5" diff driver side drop Toyota Axle.
Or
You could take a FJ60/62 Front axle and flip it. You rotate the Balls 180 degrees then cut and rotate the diff cover. The holes for the 9.5" diffs line up no matter where they are so you don't have to drill and tape any new holes.
I'm planning to put together a write-up (when I get some extra time) on both of these options as I've done or am doing both. I'm just trying to show people you do not need to use inferior (my personal opinion) Dana axles or spend $$$ on custom axles housings.
