If you want. 14 bolt I know Russ has on in his garage. He picked it up after snapping a dana60 shaft. Decided to put a new shaft in the dana60. I can check to see if he wants to sell it.
FJ 80 axle or mini truck

How wide is 14 bolt axle anyway?

the 14 bolt weighs 550lb. thats twice as much as toyota mini,
to heavy for that 22re to push it around,

Not really. My buddy was pushing a 14bolt and dana60 with a mini truck drive train with dual cases. Its all about gearing. Ran that way for years but is now reworking his buggy. The benefit is the weight is low.
I've been in buggy with 60front and 14bolt geo tracker motor and was fine. A stock 14b is not 550lbs.. Prob 400. and just swapping drums for 6lug hubs/disks drops like 75lbs.
With 39 reds and 5.29's in 4cyl carrier you will prob blow em up again. So for 2x mini truck R/P prob $400. 1x 14b with new hubs and discs.. Cost less and will never break it again.
I think the fronts are 500lbs.
Edit: by fronts I mean dana 60.

Also noticed that they dont make 5.29 gears for 14 bolt closest is 5.13. Ford 9" will be probably a better way to go, smaller, stronger, and can get 5.29 gears in it. Do u guys know in what vehicle they come with the same length as mini trick? Nice to have all new housing but thats about $500 just for housing. s*** is getting expensive!

Would that be considered as v6 carrier housing? Idk if that would fit minitruck axle housing
I'm certain it is. Those came in the sport edition I think which were all V6s. I can check the teeth count if you want.

the axle is from 78 f150-its only 1" wider than my current set up so i don't have to shorten it,
will have to re drill the axles for 6 lug, keeping stock axles for now.

the ford shafts are .200" thicker than yotas, should be ok for now,
also the guy who i bought the axle from had dana 60 for sale for $50. should have picked that up.
