Re: Ruff Stuff axle housings

I have both a front and rear Ruff Stuff housings, which respectively accept an 8" and a 9.5" diff just like the stock FZJ80s do.  They do not come with knuckles or FF spindles, but I am local so I dropped off front and rear bare, donor FZJ80 housings at their shop in Loomis; they charged me a reasonable amount of money to have the FF rear spindles and knuckle balls machined and then burnt into their housings.  Be absolutely explicit how you want your caster/pinion angles and for the FF rear be exact about how you want the ears for the brakes so you get your e-brake line just right of you need it like I did.  All in all, I am happy.  Had some issues eventhough perfect specs were provided explicitly, but all was take care of and made right in the end.  Also, no leaks through the welds.
