My three choice's that I would like to run which are all yota's and I know where to get are going to be between FJ40's,FJ-60's or the mini's.Also how much can the wheelbase be set at,keeping the wheel's in the wheelwell's without hackin the thing up a bunch.Thank's

I have minis. Work great. Wheelbase is perfect. I wouldn't want them any wider with the trails I run.

I also have mini truck axles. I love them. I just ran the rubicon with them and they were awesome.

I have the mini truck axles and I think they're fine. Maybe you should get an offset rear from an fj and then get the mini truck front. Unless you have to buy them as a set. I think the minitruck front has better aftermarket upgrades, IMO. Also I can't remember if there is much difference in the widths between FJ's and mini truck axles. The reason I like the idea of an offset rear is that it will track behind the offset front and give a little advantage in some situations.
As far as wheelbase goes, I kept mine stock after I swapped to 'yotas and it seemed fine. I just now went to yj springs and stretched my wheelbase by about 8in but havent got to try it out yet.

Thank's for the reply's.I've thought about running a offset cruiser rear and a mini front but I've thought I've read that the cruiser front's are stronger?
I'm not going to be running any tire over a 35" actually wanting to run the 34"LTB's,plus I really dont wheel all that hard where I live,just lot's of snow/mud/hill climb's and such.I do run moab every year.I'm just looking for the strongest stock axle's out of these choice's that I dont need to worry about under the lightness of a sammy.
