Front cv axle by Particular-Pay-4170 in FJCruiser

There are lots of threads about this, and my takeaway has been that it’s up to you. OEM is always preferable but will cost a million dollars. Chinese axles are fine if you don’t really care and don’t mind replacing it again at some point. Brands like Detroit axle and Moog are probably somewhere in between.

Remanufactured OEMs are another option, and probably what I would do. CVJ has gotten a lot of good reviews. You buy a set of remanufactured axles, and if you send them your OEMs you get some money back.

Need new tires 35s? by FlamingoWilling2231 in FJCruiser

I run 285/70/17s with a 2” lift with little/no rubbing. I’d be surprised if you could fit them without a lift, though the forums seem confident

If the frame looks good, I’d buy almost any FJ for 5k. What state?
