take the stock yota housing, throw in some 30 spline longs. If you can break those, they have a lifetime warranty. Also, look at that graph linked above. the Longs are as strong as stock D60 stuff.

I dont think anyone is considering a D80 in the toy...just a comment that its available/in the works.... more of a fullsize need.

Well,if you're going with Rockwells, you better put on tires that are big enough that you'll need the lower gears (or live in Hawaii).
