Kane,

The Aussie version of the FJ60 (+) came equipped with full-floating rear axles and high-pinion front diffs. The ring gear and diff are similar to the Ford 9" with drop outs. With the exception of the Birfield joints, these axles appear regularly on crawlers in my area, often with 35-37" tires. Since the front axle is all plate steel and tubing, it is feasible to just swap the necessary pieces around for a driver's side drop. I've read articles that indicate overall component strength is approx. Dana 44-50 equivalent. I think they'd be good source axles for the Monty, even can sport Aisin hubs!! The Pirate write-up probably covers these bases more in-depth. The secret to posting there is "Dodge Raider"...:o
