Is any welding required? Or is it bolt up using stock links and what not. If you buy it with the gears and locker, does it come put together?

If you buy it with gears and locker they are installed. It does not come with the axles installed because it uses the factory rear disc brakes so that the ABS and A-Trac still function and you have no funny lights on in the dash. You will need to remove your original axles and press off the brake backing plates and install them on the new 35 spline 1.5" diameter axle shafts. New axle bearings, seals and bearing retainers are provided. There is no welding required to install the rearend. All the factory links, panhard and brake lines are all retained. The only factory part there is an issue with is the sway bar. We have adapted a Currie Anti-Rock sway bar to the rear of the FJ with bolt on brackets also.

How exciting once again. I used that simmadown to calm down. When I get my FJ back , I'm going to drink a bottle of Jack and dance around it.

For specific needs this is great, but no info on once you beef up the axles, what stress you get on the drive line all the way back to the piston rings... Info on clutch plates, etc?

Axles aren't like engines in terms of modification; mainly b/c they are "downstream" in the power flow. Engine torque multiplication takes place at the transmission first, (obviously) then the tcase, then the axles. Generally speaking....upgrading things at the end of the stream doesn't usually affect things upstream from that component.

Sure, put in a set of 2.5T 40 spline 2" diameter Rockwells, bind your FJ up in some position where it cannot move but something has to give, and you'll likely blow a driveshaft instead of an axle.

But.....from what I'm finding with my drivetrain (22re Toyota 4 cylinder, W-56c stock Toyota trans 3.97:1 first gear, stock geared (but cryo'd) 2.28:1 first tcase reduction box, 5.0:1 Atlas II 2nd tcase, stock Toyota double cardan joint/standard Toyota ujoint drivelines, 35 spline D60s with 5.86 gears)....axles still break before anything else.

HTH,
Sean

That is in the process of being installed into Jon's Blue FJ now! Once testing is done and we verify it is compatible with the ABS and A-Trac we will post up more info on it and pics as well.

The only thing better than paying for rearends is snagging your buddies umbrella girls when he ain't lookin.
