kro10000 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Erm, Toyota Axles :no: Haha, well I won't fault you for it, still an awesome CJ and I am completely jealous, Toyota axles or not. (I'm still in denial about the Aisin transmission) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 very nice looking rig toyota axles: quick story, a guy (not a local) was up wheeling last summer in a nice looking 2-door xj with toyota axles. jeep worked well, looked decent yada yada yada. But what killed it for me was the custom emblems that read "Toyeepa" :shake: Buy a toyota dude is all I could think.. :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TankerTom Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I would take Toyo axles over stock CJ axles anyday, been checking out some CJ forums and the word is the early CJ axles were pretty much junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meljr Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Great find. In 1968, after graduating from HS, I had a summer job as a lot boy at a now long gone Pontiac/Jeep dealership in Portland, Oregon. One of my duties was to pick up lunch for the salesmen and run errands for the service department. The owner had a son my age who was also a lot boy and was a pretty cool guy. His passion was the outdoors, so he also produced and starred in a Sunday afternoon outdoor television show that appeared on a local station. Anyway, we were allowed to drive anything on the lot on these errands. I confess to taking out a new GTO a couple of times, but mostly it was a CJ. With the V6 they were quite spry -- but they didn't weigh much either compared to vehicles today. Enjoy! :clapping: By the way, I like solid axle Toyos (esp. old FJs) and even older Land Rovers. -meljr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
