Opperation: Find me an axle!!!

[armytaco]

Operation: Found an axle! EDIT

Folks I need some help finding a new rear axle for my FJ Cruiser. As you know mine is bent.......... I need a new one before I can wheel again. I would like one out of a 6 MT truck for extra parts but will take whatever. Think yall can help me out? I dont know too many places to look. Macon doesnt have alot of places to look. I would like to find one I can drive and get or atleast wouldnt cost me an arm and a leg in shipping. Let me know....thanks!

PS.. TED.....

welcome aboard newbie Is the still around??

You can have the IFS axle out of my truck, rear wheel steer

Does my 4runner axle fit (rear) 1997 v6?

carpart.com

No it wont fit...I need a WHOLE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY....my housing is bent. I can get a new one from toyota...but I figured I could find a used complete axle.

 

[TeddyBoy]

still don't want my ifs junk huh.

a used complete FJC rear axle, that's a needle in a hay stack. I think Bailey has it right, carparts.com or might try the blue forum. one other long-shot might be to look on craigshelper.

 

[DzlToy]

it's car-part.com and there is only one P in 'operation'



an FJC axle will be tough to find, I would post on pirate and some of the west coast boards too. A buddy of mine has an 80 series axle for sale if you want to make that work...

Looks like there should be one in Kansas City (watch the video)

That one looks like it may be tweaked a lil...

Housing from Toyota $730....might have to go that route.

Are they the same as 4Runner housings? May be easier to locate one of them - as they made like, a bazillion of 'em...

I paid $450 +200 to ship for mine (with elocker) using car-part.com website. I put all the quotes in a spreadsheet and sorted them and then quoted the best deal.
if you need a shipper, let me know as they were cheap compared to others.

I'd do some fab work to put something else in there way before I'd pay $750 from Toyota.... Not to mention you already bent one...

You can get a 14 bolt all day for less than $100.

Found me an axle in Wyoming of all places. $1200 shipped but now I have some spare parts including e locker motor and spare e locker third.

holy smokes batman. Did you at least get a lap dance when you pulled out the cash? Geez, come to think of it you could have called Heidi and killed 2 birds w/ 1 stone.

Considering just the third member runs about $900 from TMC, that's not too bad. The 14-bolt, 80 or 4R options sound good except that you have to rework all the suspension and linkages and likely a new driveshaft. I've never seen a bent axle housing on an FJC before, must have done something REALLY fun to do that.

 

[armytaco]

Thats the thing it wasnt fun. My wife caught a pole just right on River Street..I was drinking while we were haning out with some other guys for some photos so she was driving. The axle was $888 plus shipping. I figured the third more than makes up for the price as well as the brake parts I needed as well. Plus I was findind them for $2k+ in some places. I jumped at it and honestly think it was a deal for the amount of parts I needed..
Brake caliper
rotor
bearings
axle shaft bent?
housing
etc.
Now I got a third so I dont got to worry bout breaking on a long trip.
