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. :-)

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.
