Dana 60

Toyota Dana 60 Rear Axle Assemblies

Toyota’s factory rear axles were never designed with today’s demands in mind. The Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, and GX platforms all rely on an 8-inch stamped steel housing originally engineered decades ago. Once oversized tires, overlanding gear, or towing are added, weaknesses show quickly. Bent housings, thin axle tubes, and recurring pinion bearing failures are common across these models.

East Coast Gear Supply addresses these shortcomings with purpose-built Dana 60 bolt-in rear axle assemblies. Each axle features a robust cast center section, thick 3.5-inch tubes, and heavy-duty brackets to handle the weight and leverage of modern Toyota builds. The design offers high ground clearance while maintaining strength for both trail use and highway miles.

These assemblies are built as direct bolt-in replacements with all major brackets installed for Toyota applications. Options include custom widths for long-travel suspension setups, multiple gear ratios, selectable or automatic lockers, and heavy-duty differential covers. For Tacoma owners, the Dana 60 upgrade provides the towing and off-road confidence missing from the factory setup. For 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, and GX drivers, it eliminates common bearing issues while providing a housing that can carry serious overland weight without flexing.

Backed by engineering focused on Toyota platforms, the ECGS Dana 60 bolt-in axle is designed for enthusiasts who demand strength, reliability, and fitment that works seamlessly with their build.
