what made you go with landcruiser axles? just curious. i was wondering what the heck they were when looking at the pictures.

 

Stronger and lighter than most other axles commonly used(Dana 30, 35, 44). It uses all standard parts, so nothing custom for replacement parts. They were the right width and cheap. I run Toyota 4runner brakes that use the same displacement calipers and wheel cylinders as stock s10/blazer but with much larger brakes. I left in place the stock master cylinder and proportioning valve. Even with the 35s it has better pedal feel than any stock s10 by far.

Probably the main reason... I have yet to see anyone else do it. :-)

 

Beautiful job on the swap nice and clean and unique to top it off!! I thought about yanking my Land Rover axles to use for a swap when I parted it out just to be different but the cost in upgrading them is rediculous and the drop was on the wrong side. Are those Bushwacker flairs?

 

hey I run toyota axles too. I love that I can run 35's with no worries. I am jelous of your 4.88's thou...

 

Thank you.
Land rover would be unique for sure!
The fj40 axles were a bit of a challenge. The landcruiser axles were both(front and rear) passenger side drop, so I had to flip the front end for end and center the rear. I figured the heavy duty gears and light weight were worth it though.

 

Oh. Yes, they're bushwacker flares.

 

Just a side by side of a stock vs mine
