By standard axles I meant that there are really only 2 types on production cars in the last century, fully floating and not. Many of these parts may not be "standardized" but they are interchangeable. Want Land Cruiser axles on a Land Rover or Jeep? Not a problem.
Anyway, I wanted to discuss the feasibility of it now and in the future, not explain-away any possibility of it because it's too hard to do. The automotive industry is full of small and large manufacturers willing to fill a niche. I have a car with a replacement carb that requires conversion kit, and a lead-free head on the engine. There are also disk-brake kits, engine & gearbox conversions, suspension conversions... the list goes on.
- nl 11y agoWant Land Cruiser axles on a Land Rover or Jeep? Not a problem. Err. Well, it's not a problem in the sense that yes, it is possible. But it take choosing the exactly correct parts, custom machining and a fair bit of bodging stuff together (eg[1]). And that's just axles, which aren't exactly the most difficult part of the drive train. Having said that.. yes, it's quite possible to convert conventional cars to electric ones. See[2] for a place to start. [1] http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-non-hardcore/622698-toyota-axles-jeep-4.html http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-non-hardcore/622698-toyo...

- valarauca1 11y agoOkay fine then. Producing a hardware prototype will run ~15mil since steel dye work is expensive. You'll also need a team, and office space. Good luck.
