Solid-Axle Swap: Toyota Pickup/4Runner
Any 8-inch front axle from a '79-'85 Toyota will work for the swap. However, the '84 and '85 models are the best choice, because they have an added truss on the bottom of the housing. The axle used in this story is the most rare and desirable (as well as expensive) of all. All Pro used an FJ80 high-pinion, reverse-rotation centersection fitted with 4.88:1 gears. The steering arms (red) for the Hy-Steer system bolt directly to any 8-inch knuckle. The vented FJ40 rotors are included in the system and allow the use of the four-piston V-6 calipers. The red skidplate does not come with the system but is offered separately by All Pro.
