Strongest toyota front/rear diff
What is the strongest front and rear toyota based diff? I think the strongest rear axle is out of the fj80 and I heard the new 4runners have an 8" front diff. What about the strongest cvs? I know the tundra ones are a lot beefier. What do you guys think?

LC80 uses a 8" reverse cut high pinion front and a 9 1/2" rear.
I think those are the strongest toyota makes, except for maybe the LC100 series. I had one of those rear axle's a few months back and the ring gear was a tad larger than my LC80.

That's small.
even if you could get beefier axles the jack shaft is still weak, and I totally agree with Jeff the Tundra axles aren't any stronger.......
