Found a Taco rear axle, 4.56 gears and welded for $200 on CL. How strong are they? Not sure on the year if that matters. Thinking about picking it up and dumping my rear axle since I need gears and shafts for it. What do you Toyota guys think?? portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/1492243284.html |

Here is a quote from a Toyota Tech page.... This diff commonly and mistakenly called an 8.4" or 8.25" diff, possibly to imply its extra strength. The ring gear actually measures 8". The extra strength of this diff comes from the bearing cap/truss and large diameter pinion gear shaft. LSD's available is the TRD/Kazuma clutch-type 3-pinion LSD, the OEM 4-pinion Tundra TRD LSD, and the Detroit Trutrac. Lockers available are the Powertrax "Lock-right," "No-Slip," ARB Air Locker, Detroit Softlocker. This diff cannot be fitted to an older style 8" axle because it uses a larger diameter mounting bolt pattern and because more space inside the housing necessary to accommodate the large bearing cap. The different bolt pattern also makes it very impractical to swap in an electric locking Toyota diff (the whole mounting flange would have to be re-done using a special jig). - Carrier bearing truss and newer housing adds significant strength over V6 and 4cyl diffs - Uses V6 carrier bearings, larger pinion bearings - Uses shims for backlash adjustment instead of threaded adjusters - Twelve 12mm Ring gear bolts - 10mm axle housing studs with 14mm nuts - 30 splilne axles - 30 spline pinion home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/I have not had any issues EVER with the 8" ring gear, the Tacoma is 8" but has been improved. Don't know people directly but have seen them in rigs of guys that run 42's and are balls out! |

Also I have never seen a rear Toyata shaft break, I do know a guy that broke one but is was in a narrowed d60 with like 500 horse.

I think it would be plenty strong, for $200 it would be worth a try. Toyota makes good sh*t

I emailed the guy, hopefully he still has it. That would save me a lot of money, plus I could sell my rear housing and locker too.
