I did find some axles that are said to "never break, ever" from this guy in lake havasu city, he fabs shafts with the toyota halfshaft bolt pattern and 2 1350 u-joints with 2 inch shafts. And with those shafts and some steering mods i think i will have a bomb proof IFS!!! The down side is the cost, $480 a piece!!!!!! but he will replace it for life (thought he said it wont break) and if you dont want them or are unsatisfied for any reason he will refund half your money and put stock ones back on at no extra cost. All this comes out of his garage, and thats kinda scary, but hey, it took me 3 days to go from saying "I need a SAS" to
"I'll make the baddest IFS toyota rock crawler ever" and i will end up not going to either extream...( i hope).
