Is $250 a good price? From hub to hub, completely stock. (front axle)

 

Not too bad, I was quoted 350 a while back.
.

 

okay good, it is my friends. He wanted 300 for it and he needs money, so I offered $250 to be nice.

 

Offer him 200, and tell him the economy sucks!

 

lol...I could try.

 

thats a pretty good deal trev, what year is it off of?

 

The 84-85 usually go for more. Correct?

 

I have 2 85's. I paid 250 for one and 100 for the other. Both in the same condition. All depends on who is selling it.

 

What are your plans for this axle?

Toyota Mini Truck Front Axle Identification
79-80 no gusset
81-83 short gusset (to u-bolts)
84-85 long gusset (past u-bolts)

 

Condition and location determine price. For an 84/85 yes...the others, no.

 

Wait, so it matters what year it came off of?

I am wanting to do an SAS on my 86 after I finish my tranny swap.

 

By the way, its an 85 front axle

 

yes the year does matter, 84/85 is best. so thats a pretty good deal.

 

okay sweet. Definitely glad I'm getting this axle. lol. Should make my truck much more capable than before.

 

Of course, if you're doing a SAS for increased wheelability, you won't want the steering or the Birfields because you should be going with high-steer and Longfields ... all you really need is the third and the housing.

 

seems like a fair price

@ tc, unless his stock birfs are in poor condition there is no need for him to upgrade to longfields. ive been pretty hard on my SA and still have yet to break a birf(knock on wood lol.) as for high steer he has to have it.

 

Then your IFS was strong enough too. I will agree that maybe you don't need to include them in the initial build, but you better factor the $645 into the budget because until you upgrade, you're no stronger than the IFS that you thought was so insufficient.

TOYOTA_1 - the 35x10.50 is probably all that has saved you thus far, but it's not a matter of if, but when.

 

Doing a SAS on a Toyota and not upgrading to Longfields is like owning an Ipod and not listening to music.

 

cool, than my crappy sansa fuze mp3 should keep me from breaking anything till I can get my Long's sometime next year

Oh and 91Toyota: you got lucky scoring that '85 axle in Salem, stuff like that tends to go fast down there

 

id have to disagree, in my experience a stock SA is stronger than stock ifs. after all thats one of the reason's i sas'ed. Ive ran these same tires on stock ifs, and broke many times, all while being careful not to hop and turn hard under throttle etc. meanwhile Ive been thrashing my sa harder then i would even think about doing to my (stock/weak) ifs. i have broke one thing on my sa, the pinion busted in half, and I'm still using the birfs that survived
