TROOPOWER OP Body Damage is Cool just wondering if anyone can give me a ballpark on cutting down some fullwidth 3/4 axles so that they dont stick out so far on each side on an fj40. i think it looks silly and is too wide a stance for my purposes.i am in portland or, so if anyone knows any good shops that will do this, let me know as well. thank you!

I cut down my front dana 60 2.5", it cost $100 to cut and reweld the housing and this including a new passenger side perch. I could've had the stock inner cut down and re-splined for $75 but I opted to get a new Moser and it was $158 shipped to me. I would trust my life with these welds.
