Hello,
Was hoping someone could provide some insight into what axles I currently have under my 40 and best direction forward.
When I purchased this FJ40, it had a tbi 350. I'm taking down to the frame and swapping in a Cummins r2.8. My primary intention is to have a reliable daily driver and something I can explore the mountains with (trails/potentially very light rock crawling, traversing through rocky areas).
I am not really familiar with FJ axles, but from the research I've done, I believe these are 76' or later FJ40 axles? I suspected later model due to the Aisen hubs; however, read somewhere that they were offered sparely in 76'?
Any help would be much appreciated in IDing these and if I'm going to the frame with suspension upgrades, would these axles be a good choice to rebuild (ARB lockers, updated axle shafts, birfs etc.) or would there be better/stronger choices? I plan to open these up once I get things disassembled a but more ro inspect spline count/size.
Thanks!
