now I am confused, are you converting an ifs diff/axle shafts into a solid axle?? or is this an entire solid axle that your putting under your truck for a "normal" SAS conversion?

I am taking out my ifs and putting in a custom length sas. I was wondering how long the tubes are on a regular stock toyota straight axle, but after doing some reading I am just going to go with a diamond axle

Why would you pay that much? If i remember correctly, those are more expensive than my 4runner.

But what i mean is why not just a yota axle? It would be cheaper, and easier to install.
But the diamond axle will have more of a cool factor to it haha

But its your rig, so do what ever the hell you want
Just giving my $.02

I haven't put my money down yet. Landcrusier axles sound nice but I would have to rework them any ways. Form what I hear the rear won't match up right. Plus with my rim tire combo I don't know if I will have the spacing I am looking for from toyota stock axles. Big reason why I wanna do my research now and get everything layed out so I can know my options

Just my $.02...

I have exchanged several PM's with Citrus and he is a decent guy who is genuinely wanting to learn and grow using the people and info on here as a guide.

He may throw a random word in here and there but he means well - no better place to start than YotaTech, right?

If I can find a good vendor that will make them for us you'll be able to get as many as you want.

It was just a non sequiter. I'd changed my post from making a remark on how roughly you'd been treated in the thread from the beginning. It seemed to be out of place (rather unnoticed), so I changed it.
