some of this belongs in tech guys. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I think i might make a custom front axle, the only thing i could find to be perfect for the montero is a custom curry 9", so i might hybrid the mitsu 9" W/ Chebby 1/2 ton front and upgraded shafts. Seems the cheapest route and my neighbor has a steel table to setup an axle fixture on, Thats what he uses to make custom Toyota axles.
