Best $8 I ever spent
So just picked up a FZJ80 front axle in durham last night for a 6 pack of Fat tire.
It is complete with brakes minus the calipers.
Guy works at a toyota dealership and one of the managers asked him if he wanted a toyota axle they had just replaced. Got a bad spindle. He was going to use it on a buggy or his 90 4runner but decided he just wanted to let it go fast. So a few emails a drive, a 6 pack and I now have it.
Will post pics when I get home i'm still at Brians right now enjoying Heather's cooking.

Yeah I now have a spare diff, spare birfs, bigger brakes, etc.....
It was a lucky find for sure but there's one or two on this board that i'm sure if they had gotten it, it would have an ARB locker and 5.29 gears in the pumpkin as well, and there also would have be a $100 bill in the knuckle.
