is the rear axle diff offset?  also sami axles are smaller then toys, the housing, nuckles birfs, everything is smaller.

Sammy axles look almost exactly like Toy 8" axles. Except scaled down to 70% size, and everything breaks if a tire bigger than a 33 is used.

And yes, if the rear diff is not in the center, it's a Samurai axle. :p

samis are also 5 lug, right?

they have a teeny ring gear, makes a toy axle look like a dana 60.
