    Need help with a Tundra axle housing.

    I've cracked mine a couple times, and we've welded it up so many times, the metal is stressed now and the welds don't last but a few weeks if that.
    After many hours on the phone with Toyota, there is not one available they can find in the US market, or elsewhere.
    Called every salvage yard, aftermarket retailers, etc..with 0 luck.
    I have a longbed which calls for a different axle housing than every other tundra they make.
    OEM part #42110-0C053
    Just curious if anyone is in the business and might have access to resources I don't, before I have to have something custom built.
    Appreciate any help.

    Why the heck would a long bed have a different axel? Perch and spring locations?

      Slide a dodge rear-end under it and it's good for a million miles and 20mpg

          I don't usually quote myself, but when I do, I do it twice

                          It's very vague lol.
                          This is per Toyota, and they list a different axle housing for longbeds.
                          Just got off the phone with a company in Colorado.
                          He says he swaps axles all the time and he didn't know there was a difference.
                          Found some vague refrences online that there is a 1.5" difference in the two.
                          On the phone with Toyota again now, trying to get someone to explain it to me, and getting a refund on this other axle.

                          Climbing through the mountains in Colorado.
                          I make a new crack every year, and sling gear oil all the way back to Texas, it's kinda my thing.
                          I don't know why the guys get so upset that their 4 wheelers, and ice chest have to be power washed when we get home .
