What is needed to switch to Toyota axles other than the axles themselves ..
Trying to figure out the cost .
Who in Canada sells megacrawler gearsets for the tcase?

stuff u need - off the top of my head...

whatever u need to bring ur axels back upto snuff... odds are its been sitting a while and a few parts need some tlc - that'll prolly be ur biggest cost.

spring perches - u can buy em or make em, theyre cheap.

drive shafts - front should be ok... the 3rd member on toy is a little bit longer so u might have to even remove ur spacer if u have one.

now u have to deal with a centered rear diff.. i dont know ur truck to advise u.. u may have room, u may not.. it might bing it might be fine. When I did my conversion I also pushed all my axels out - so I relocated all my spring hangers - giving me plenty of room for shafts and stuff - i think i have a 5 or 6 inch longer wheelbase than stock

u gonna upgrade ur springs? or change em flat out or leave em?

dont forget, 6 bolt patern now.. u need new rims

gonna have to modify ur spare tire carrier too :roll:

brake lines
hand brake cable - tahts fun
steeering issues - what yr axels u got? will dictate how much mods for new steering connection.

im sure im missing stuff but thats a good start
