I'll have a new set of RCV 30/30/30 spline FJ80 axles by the weekend, fawk Trail Gear. Can't beat RCV's customer service too! Again, I say fawk Trail Gear.

I won't be buying anything with the word chromo from them again, RCV for the win.
Now only if my wallet agreed with my decision.

I would go tons before I wasted my time with FJ80 stuff....gonna cost you about the same to build the front end, might as well have a built ton over a built FJ80

You have to pay extra for the 300m inners from RCV I believe. And the outer is still "chromo" if I am not mistaken. I don't think they have a 300m outer option?

I believe this is correct. Think it was only like $150 more, and that's worth it in my opinion. Well, not sure on mini trucks since the birf's are a little smaller, guess the birf and the inner both could be weak points there, unlike the past two FJ80 inners that I broke at the birf splines.

And I don't believe they offer the 300m inner option for the FJ80's either. I didn't even ask since I was already paying extra for the 30/30/30 option over the oem spline specs of 30/24/30. I figure these new ones will be plenty of an upgrade for me... *fingers crossed

I'm saving pennies for the FJ80 30-30-30 kit. Curious to hear what you think of them :popcorn:

Gonna beat em next weekend at Choccolocco and will report back!

I don't figure I'll have any issues with them...I really had to get in a super tough bind to break the old Longfield inners. Gonna try to compensate a little with driving style too.

Re: Re: Trail gears new longfield.

Got them bitches installed tonight! Comparison pics are beside my broken course 24 spline Longs.

I like them, they should take care of the weak point in the neck down area before the spline. Really like that there is no relieve cut into the splines too.

Keep us posted how they hold up. :driving:
