Where to find stock rear shafts?

[Russell_G]

Where to find stock rear shafts? Im looking for Stock rear axle shafts for trail spares. I haven't had any luck finding anything local or on the FJc forums. I figure some of you guys have cut the axles out and went D60 or 44 so theres gotta be some shafts floatiing around. My axle is from an 08 elocked FJcruiser.

Anything else work? I was thinking Chromo but im going to build a diamond rear later in the year so theres no reason to go crazy for something i doubt i will brake.


Thanks for any info.

Your best bet would be a pick 'n pull type place. Nitro makes chromoly shafts if you wanted something stronger.

The issue is Here in CO i cant find one in a yard. I picked one up for parts to get the axle in the first place.They still bring too much for those pick and pull yards here and the people parting them dont wanna split the rear axle.

I saw Nitro makes stronger shafts but for $600 i might as well start building the rear diamond(that i dont have cash for right now)

still looking

There is a guy on MUD parting out an '07 FJC. He said he the driveline is sold, which my guess is does include the rear end.

How do you plan to use the axle shaft as a trail spare? I have a slightly bent axle shaft that I plan to change out some time. I was thinking about using the bent axle shaft as a trail spare, but I haven't figured out exactly how I would do it on the trail yet. What tools would you carry to do this as a trail repair and how would you do it. I am thinking maybe a slide hammer with an axle puller attachment to remove the bearing & retainer, a 3 feet long 1-3/4" ID pipe to reseat the bearing. Just working it in my head for now so not sure if its going to work on the trail.
