Off road tough axels
I’m looking to find the toughest rear and front axels I can get, I won’t mind to spend a good bit of money either. It’s for my 2001 xj sport.

how do you have an offroad vehicle and want to put the "toughest" axles on but not know what fabricate means? I mean, im not very good at either but thats one of the most common terms in this hobby haha

First, what size tires do you plan on running, what rear axle do you have now, and what do you plan on using your Jeep for?

if you were able to fabricate, you could literally fit any axle you want under your jeep.
anything from jeep wrangler rubicon axles (they come factory with lockers and 4.10 gear ratio), to dana 60's from full size ford f350's to 14 bolt from chevs. you could even go with skidder axles if you wanted or even top load planetary axles from mine equipment... if you could cut and weld some steel.
but maybe you are just looking for some pretty tough axles so you could run some 33 or 35 inch tires, so then you could just use the toughest stock axles that you can add lockers and gearing to.
that's why it's important to understand what you want to use your jeep for. there is such thing as overkill.

No truer words can be shared here. There is always cause and effect...
"I just dumped 6k into my suspension and axles now how do I make it ride softer?"
