That's what I went with as well. The only caveat is that you only get your deposit back if the CV axles you trade in are OEM Mr. T AND rebuildable. I think a major portion of that assessment is the spline condition of the trade-ins.
18 years... hard to beat 
Got my OEMs from Cruiser Teq as well as the snap ring set and flanges.

Are you in emergency mode or good for a while mode?
If you can wait a bit, order from Serra Toyota when they have their nex 20% off with free shipping offer (Probably Labor Day).
If you are in emergency mode then you will have to do some searching or someone else will chime in. Good luck!
This is true, but I kept my old ones and rebuilt them for spares. Toted one up to COTRockies with me just in case, thankfully I didn't need it.
Good call. Glad you didn't need it as well. Always advisable to have a spare if you're going to go wheeling. Although the only real danger on established trails around here is the one obstacle on Poughkeepsie and maybe the optional obstacle on the way to the steps on Black Bear. Maybe some of the scree hills on Imogene.
I appreciate it gents, I called our local Mr. T dealership here in Las Vegas and their quote is $665 +tax per cv axle. Will consider what you all suggested including NAPA with lifetime warranty.
Poughkeepsie was the only of those trails I didn't get a chance to run, and we took the party line every chance we got
Maybe I'll get to do a trail repair next time, but a few fresh scrapes on sliders and skids, and noticing that my steering rack was newly leaking (once it was already in my driveway in Texas) were the only damage from the trip.

Stop calling it a "FJ."
If your rig is a mall cruiser, for sure. But for off-road use 16 inch wheels are better.
Just saying!
Hey I have 16's too...If your rig is a mall cruiser, for sure. But for off-road use 16 inch wheels are better.

but it's frustrating to try and find an equivalent to 34's...255/85R16 is a 33 or less in reality and a 295/75R16 is listed as 33.4 and is probably a little shy of that as well. I think the right tire on an 18" is just fine in the sidewall department even aired down.

Replaced front sway bar links after 322k mikes. That’s winning. 
It is about winning and losing not necessarily how you play the game.

No doubt that tire selection pretty much sucks with 16’s. (285/75r16 for me) I think 17’s are about optimal, but wheel availability is an issue. 18’s make a lot of sense as there are tons of sizes and lots of available wheel options.Hey I have 16's too...

How are you liking the K03s?
Drove it 2,300 miles round trip. At ~226k miles now.
Coolant stayed around 190 degrees and trans temp 145-155. Averaged 14-15 MPGs with 33” AT tires, OEM roof rack, stock bumpers.
Edit: with Rig’d Supply RambleSwing, Pakmule, and ConditionOne cases on the hitch.

I've only just driven them home from the tire shop, but so far, so good. No road noise, smooth, and much more tread than what I removed (plus the old ones were super old). I plan to get it off road in the next couple of weeks. I'm (maybe obviously) on factory suspension, no lift, and there is no rubbing at all (as expected from browsing the tire size thread). I like the way they fill the wheel well a bit more than the 275/70/16s that I removed.
I had a great experience with Grieco out of RI recently on rotors and other heavy stuff. Shipping was way less than it should have been.
