If I may, what is the project?

@SimplyTanner I have a 1987 fj60 landcruiser (my profile picture) and Im doing 5.3 vortec V8 swap, nv4500 5spd, np205 tcase. I need to swap out the rear axle because the Np205 has an inline drive shaft unlike the toyota split case which is offset.

Won't these narrow Toyota truck axles have a smaller diff then the 60 series? Adding alot more horse power and going to a lighter diff is something I wouldn't do. .

LITP is correct on this. I would not want to swap a smaller ring gear into a heavy rig like a FJ60 with a V8.

Just leave it offset imo. I ran my taco that way for years

I think M&M Offroad in North Carolina makes a centered housing with the Cruiser size third member. Might want to check with them...

Not only that, but as Andre, Kurt @cruiseroutfit and I found out at Cruise Moab '08, the housing wall is thinner. Andre's spring perches crushed through the axle tube under torque.

You could get a domestic Dana 44 or Dana 60 axle and could get any width you want. Keep that in mind. How wide is the rear end on a Jeep Rubicon? It might be close.

Depending on what NP205 you have, you can convert the slip shaft on the output to a yoke with the right parts. Then it doesn't have to be perfectly in line to the rear axle.

If you want to stay Toyota, you could get a centered RuffStuff housing and build the perfect axle using your existing differential. This would cost some $$ but could be close to ideal.

Or, you could just run an 80 axle and shorten the long end about 3 inches. That would be all Toyota, full float, and close enough to centered. As a bonus, you'd get excellent disc brakes.

I personally think running a mini-truck axle would be a mistake.
