:pat: HOLY ORGASMS BATMAN! That axle is bent WAY out of proportion. It definetly does not come from the factory like that. In 2 years at an all toyota wrecking yard i;ve never seen an axle bent that bad. Not even a rear!!

I'm guessing either a severe front end collision, or some asshat tried to do a recovery on the vehicle by taking a running start while using chain wrapped around the axle instead of a strap.

That really sucks man. It looks like it was sanded down and ready for paint also. I'd get my money back on that one.

I hear ya! Gonna SAS it. Good deal, maybe I'll see you at Tellico one day. Jellico TN is April 1st "I believe". I'm gonna be up there to watch my buddy compete. It's something that nobody in the SouthEast should miss -"if they're into wheelin"- and you should really plan to make it up there for that. It's one hell of a weekend!
