1986 SR5 rear axle.
I was moving across the country in my pickup and my rear wheel bearing went out without me even realizing until it was too late. The axle is shot according to the mechanic that looked at it.
I was wondering what options I might have, as far as newer axles? What years could I pull an axle from that would work?
And are there any after market options worth considering?

Anything prior to 86 will be too short. IDK for sure if the 2wd will fit the 4wd. I don't "think" they will. I "think" even the 3.0 V6 axles would fit. I would call Marlin's shop or similar. There are aftermarket ones available but I have never tried them or know anyone that has. Low Range Off Road and other places sell them. They also sell the bearing pocket if yours was damaged. Good luck with it and please follow up after you get it fixed.

It looks like any axle out of 1986-03/89 RN6 (4wd) will work. Left/right are the same. and as AZtoyman thought, 1988 to 3/89 VN(V6) will work.
2wd wouldn't work
I'd get a used oem one if you can
