Aluminum?

The Tacoma Rear axle weather it be a 4cyl model or a 6cyl model I GUARANTEE
is stronger than a 8 1/4" Chrysler either 27 or 29 spline, both are pathetic

little axles. The 9 1/4 I'd venture to say is as strong if not STRONGER
then
the Toyota axle. Personally I don't like C-clips though. I have some 8
1/4"
Toyota 4 cyl axles and some 9 1/4" laying around I'll bring them into school

and see which is the strongest. If I can get some 3rd members and carriers
I'll test these as well.
