Topic: Toyota front axle

What is the better buy 30 spline longfields, Birfield eliminator or the Marfield chromoly with 30 spline axles i thought about getting the eliminator 2 reasons money and isn't it better then stock, oh and i am a daily driver and not a huge bang up wheeler.

1st question: Have you broken a birfield yet? If not, then just carry a spare.
For strength: 30 spine longs (hubs will break first), then Marlin 06's, then birf eliminator.
If you have not broken birfs, and don't drive like lead foot larry, then don't worry about any.
Just keep the front axle open and your tire size below 36" and you'll be fine.

i am open in front but i would like a lock right in front for snow and i am rinning 37 mtrs so i am leaning towards the eliminator kit. i think that would be best.

Ummm...did you read what mini said?  If you're going to spend money you might as well go with an upgrade.  If memory serves the eliminator kit doesn't get you much.  Get the 30 spline longfields and be done with it.

like bender siad longfields and be done !!!

plus if you break a eliminator kit knowbody is going to have a spare when you need it.

you'll probably break the lockright befor the birf

and like ^ said  the birf eliminator  will leave you waiting for hours on a trail

go with marlins  or longs,

30 spline longs or 27 spline logs between the two the birf is the same the only difference is the innards one excepts 30s on takes 27's you can even upgrade your 27 spline longfields (the cromo ones) to take 30 spline shafts later down the road

and the marlin cromoly ones aren't compatable with 30 spline axles, they are only 27 spline.  but they are still very strong.  if money is tight i would go with the 27 spline longfields.  you can't break those either.
