I originally went with a local shop to build a front axle from the Mitsu 9.5" diff and housing with Chevy D44 outers and Ford hybrid shafts. This was the cheapest easiest thing but unfortunately i got impatient with the shop and said F' it and started buying the Rock Assault parts.

The thing about building a Rock Assault axle one piece at a time is that Trail-Gear doesn't sell every part individually and some things they don't sell at all anymore outside of the fully built axle assembly. Luckily the guys at Diamond axle hooked me up with the missing bits. Looking back, way back when i originally contacted Diamond some years ago about a hybrid front Montero axle they wanted to build it using Toyota outers and hybrid Toy/Ford RCV shafts with my Mitsu diff. I should have done it and the only reason i didn't was because i didn't have the money to build a complete axle and i really couldn't afford the RCV's on top.
So here i am having spent more than the Diamond axle and the same amount for TG Longfields as i would have for RCV's. The only reason i went with the new Longfield shafts over the RCV's is that when i talked to RCV they gave it to me straight and said "stick all TG parts in there otherwise they will fight any of your warranty claims" and "If they quit warrantying their shafts and joints or you get tired of them we'll cut you a deal"

Oh well i've got a killer front axle, i built it and i was able to piece it together as funds permitted like i wanted. So i'm happy with that.
