Why go through all this trouble with the stock axles? Just swap it out for a 60 that has been geared/gone through and be done with it. No more problems.
now i really know nothing about these, but are the bearings really that bad? i know for darn sure toyota spent a lot more money on that axle designing their system than trail-gear did trying to make this product.... i would trust toyota's oem process and research and development a lot more.... maybe that is just me though :scratchhead:
