Saito2 6573 Posted June 11, 2021 Maybe I've missed this answer over the years, but why does the Bruiser/Mountaineer have different width axles front and back? Was there a purpose or necessity for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted June 18, 2021 The orig. Bruiser shares the axles with the earlier Toyota 4x4 truck. I presume the rear one is wider because of the space required for the radiobox that goes right in between rear wheels. The same cast and material for those axles were used on later 4x4 models like the Blazing Blazer and the Bruiser. Here's the truck below. You see the original 4x4 chassis shares nothing with the 1985 4x4 truck, except for... the axles 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
