hey guys, just wondering if there was any easy way to fix a bent rear axle... I'm very doubtful that there is a way, but if anybody knew of one, that'd be awesome. also, what kind of price would I be looking at for an '87 toyota p/u, and the last question, does anybody know what years/models would work for a swap. any info. on this would be great. thanks

Found out the axle wasn't bent, it appears that i've sheared one of the bolts holding my leaf springs , so the axle has moved a little bit, so my rear end is travelling slightly diagonally when i drive. gonna take a closer look when i get home from my current offroad trip.

How the hell did you manage that, sounds like a good story. Good luck on finding new stuff. Im just rubbernecking.

ha ha, i'm not really sure exactly what caused it, coud've been the ditch i hit, while mudding on the pipeline one time.... but my dad noticed it while driving behind me, and we could see a mark on the leaf, where it had rubbed, and it was a bit off.... so yeah... ha ha, still 4x4's awesome tho

yeah i drove off a 3 foot drop last night and almost shat myself, worrying about the drivetrain, becase i was teetertottering, droped it to low and crawled forward!
