HD front cruiser axle?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
AKA the Landspeeder special...
Take a SF rear axle, move to front, mount larger rear diff to old diff cover side of housing, weld 80 front knuckle balls on the ends.
Then you have the bigger 80 birfs with the bigger front diff.

Oh yea, that. I might know what you're talking about, then. 
I'd love to make it an HD front, but it won't be anytime soon for me either. I'm just always looking for parts so I'll have them when the time is right.
You guys ever come across 80 knuckle balls? I've been looking for a while, but I guess you just have to buy an entire donor front housing to get some. I saw two sets pop up on pirate recently, but they were spoken for WAY before I could ask about them.

A 9.5" on the coast side is stronger than an 8" on drive side.
That said, the only place I've seen a HP 8" weak is in reverse.
Lots of effort and money for minimal gain IMO

I want to know more about this girl with the HD rear end!
I have the same plans and visions of grandeur for a 9.5" front axle with 80-series balls, knuckles, and shafts. Probably same boat time wise :-/
Got a tech question for y'all. How fast can I spin these 24s on my Cruizah?!

Looking for a drivers side view power mirror. Actually only need the power unit that is connected to the glass. Mine has one tab broken and the adjusting screw hole is cracked. Let me know if you have one you can part with. Thanks.

Try Jason at Cruiser Yard. He just got a new 80 parts truck in.
I saw that. I sent him a message with no response so far. Figured I'd look "local". 
Year is wrong but seems like a solid deal for $1500

Does anybody happen to have a ARB or ARB style front bumper for an FZJ80 laying around that they're willing to part with? Getting ready to bite the bullet and just order one online.. but figured I better at least check around first.
call me if you get ready to buy a new one.
