Side of the road....
This question may have been answered already, but I could not find the answer. So, is it possible to do a Toyato axle conversion on D2 axles or can it only be done on D1 axles?

Finished the machinework on the prototype rear axles on thursday of last week (they sure are pretty!). They're off to heat treat now, The front axles are in the que for being made currently.
This first set are all about seeing what it will cost in semi production form, if it looks like the price is going to be right then it's a go for future sets.

Keith what's the deal with the ABS and all that happy horse shit on the DII toy swap?

Cheers,

No Changes, The ABS and TC remain the same. If you are locked the sensors shouldn't see wheel spin so TC won't engage on that axle.

On the front will the stub shaft/cv be upgraded, or wll it just be the inner shaft?

CV's, Axles all upgraded, 4340 shafts, bolt on.. We remain 24 spline at the unit bearing end but there are a few tricks we can do with the axle design that should improver strength here.. Main reason for the conversion is to have a diff that you can't break.

I'll be ready to do this conversion by early spring. Gonna need these axles for the rubicon in late spring. :D Keith is there any planned release date. This is definitely the way I'd like to set up my truck.
