need some toy guru help. i have a fj 80 front housing. and knuckles. but no spindles or outers. will mini truck outers ( spindles , calipers and rotors), ect work? or not? i need the extra width for my project, but i need to build a complete axle. if the 80 axle parts are specific, wheres the best place to find everything i need?
and finally, if this is the case, and anyone happens to have these parts, or even a complete front minus the third, id be lking for these parts. have freinds in hickory/ ashville and knoxville tn to help pick up parts if needed. thanx, rob
any advice be appreciated
 
I highly doubt that any of the parts from a mini truck would work. Search some local junk yards and see what you can find. Also go to car-parts.com
 
The mini stuff will not work. I abandoned a FJ80 axle build for that reason.

Well, that's not 100% true, OK.. Spindles - nope. rotors/calipers, not sure, but I'd bet not. See if the part number for a set of brake pads & rotors is the same for a 80 & a mini? Lockouts/flanges - yes.
 
thats what i thought. guess ill put a wanted ad on for a complete axle. id think there would be some left over after someone canniballized the third. fine by me. thanx, rob
 
If 't all else fails and you aren't afraid of spending some money, I know that man-a-fre or specter web sites have new parts. They might also have some contacts for parted out FJs. Thats what I have to do sometimes with my FJ-40.
 
i've got one in asheville
