Damn you all. I didn't realize how much I spent on my front axle until y'all pointed it out. But it's not nearly as much you've quoted...
Mine is just cromo birfs, shafts, 5.29's and lunchbox locker. And sky hi-steer. I don't have the reciepts but I think it's around $1200? (I'm not counting the axle itself since I bought the entire 4runner for $550)
