New to the forum but not new to Toyota's

[yotalight87​]

Figured I need to start posting to the forum as I'm seeing the need for the Toyota community. I have an 87 SAS 4runner. Dual cases, 529's, lockright's, chromaly shafts front and rear. Just broke my Passenger front axle. I had the old birfield eliminater Dana 44 u joints. Working on replacing with Longfields or the RCV 300m ones.
When I broke my axle as I backed up I broke my hub also. I'm on the lookout for an Aisin hub Ft-005. I really only need the outer cover with the 2wd 4wd selector knob.

   Go for the RCV's, unless you can find some OG Longfield's.     The thing they don't tell you about the Birf eliminators is that the u-joints don't take that much more angle than the Birfs, they just don't have that small spline neck down of factory Birfs.

Yeah I made the mistake of not having my stops adjusted too so I think I was at a pretty hard angle. I bet the u joint bound up. Does anyone have the hook ups on Aisin hubs? That's what was the most disappointing is I think the axle  pushed out on the hub breaking it. Cause all the gears inside are fine.

Agree with the RCV recommendation as it is the original Longfield design.  Trail Gear bought the brand name but uses a different design that while super strong isn't the proven product that the RCV is.

I think I picked up some hubs from Yota Yard in the past that's located in Denver, CO.  If memory serves they were about $50.  You can purchase online, but if you can find a forum source you'll most likely come out ahead.

Has anyone used the new Aisin hubs from Marlin or Trail gear? Are they just as strong?
