Hi,
I’m looking at some point to swap my front axel on my 60 for an 80 with coils. I’m in no hurry but I just came across a couple of decent looking axels from a 96 fj80. When I was reading up it looks like pre 4/94 are the preferred but the others can work with modifications to the hub and birfs.

Can anyone quickly explain the mods and why I could not run as is? Also could I just run the thirds on these for the 4.11 gear ratios? Just seeing if this are worth my while. Thanks a bunch
