Tonniez,
I think you lucked out. In my search for an axle kit I called National and
they said that they didn't have any. You must have an in there. Do be
careful installing your new axle. I had a shop do mine but they screwed the
shock mount up so bad that I had to totally redo it. I was under my rig at
one point when I realized that both ubolts on each side must be in place for
the unit to be secure. I only had one on each side on. It freaked me out to
realize that I could have easily made a mistake that could have ended my
toyota rving days in a hurry and for good.
Do you know what the difference was in the three different axle kits? My
guess is that it is either shock mounting or gear ratio. It would be great
information to know which kit should go with which rig. Do you think it
would be possible to find out from your contact that information? Sorry to
hear about your back, mine does the exact same thing. I'm out for 3 days
every time. Nothing seems to help but I wouldn't use a heating pad if I were
you. Ice is usually the best for the first few days.

Jack, Chialo is down the 2 freeway about 25 miles past Mt. Wilson.
About 7 miles past Chialo is a camp ground called Buckhorn. I think
Buckhorn is the closest thing to the Sequioa's that I have neem
without going there. chialo is about 6 thousand feet and Buck horn
7300.. they are so nice. Buck horn the nicest. Where is the place you
talked about? is it in the mountains?...TOmmy...PS...
I checked for a rear axle at 2 junk yards here in La and
they both got $1200.OO FOR A USED REAR AXLE.One of the places for
$1000.00 for one without the 3rd member. They said the used rims sell
for $100.00 each. So a thousand for the whole 9 yards that have
never been used seemed worth it for sure. after my back is better and
I get it all in I will tell you how it works and how hard the whole
thing was.. Bye..Tommy
