Arrived! Now I have to figure out how to off load it off the trailer. It was loaded with a tractor with forks. Tires are trashed.

Doug, I wonder what that bolt pattern is. That front axle looks like a dana 30 which is usually 5x114 or 5x139 or something like that. Or if they made it to match the toyota bolt pattern of the time?

A 2WD mini truck axle has 5x114.3mm/5x4.5" pattern.

Isn't that the same as a late 1970s Jeep Dana 30? I'm not sure of all the iterations on who used which 5-bolt pattern between Chevy, Ford, Dodge, IH and Jeep.

Are you thinking of a 6-bolt pattern axle with 8" diff? That didn't exist until 1978 with the factory Toyota 4WD Hilux.

The only 2WD I can think of with a 6-bolt would have been the dually UHaul one tons. And those may be the larger 6x7.25" you find on medium duty Isuzu and Hinos, not sure.

I'm going to attempt to drag it off with a Come Along. It's going to be a slow process. I don't have room to hook up a winch or car to pull it off. My buddy is heading back to Kansas tomorrow so I'm going to sneak out of work at noon today and make the attempt.

I can swing by a little after 2 if you need an extra hand.

CJ's are 5x5.5, YJ/XJ/WJ until at least 2006-7 are 5x4.5

It's off! Took about one hour with a Come Along connected to my popup camper. I just dragged it off since the tires are absolutely toast.

Looking for a set of roller tires to fit 15x8 rims. All the same size (31" or smaller) and under 7 years old (so a shop will install them) are the only requirements. Thanks!
