How strong is the back axle

Initially I was thinking of Toyota axles but I don't want it to look odd and I want to keep the weight off.
Will a Jimny axle cope? I know that stronger internals are available but are they really necessary?

The diff is a 4 pin, which is fairly strong, usually people twist the halfshafts and snap the short one, when they have very grippy tyres, before the diff bursts.
There has been some discussion on here about the auto box being at its limit with the standard engine, I'd be more worried about this..
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Hope you plan to post some pictures of what you create.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

That is true to a degree, however the greater the angle, the greater the change in velocity through the props rotation (UJs don't turn 100% smoothly, hence the existence of CV joints). The straighter you can keep it the smoother it will drive and the longer it will last. Or get a shaft made up with CVs at both ends.

Regularly go through bearings because of the big tyres and landscape, but no rear problems with the diff / axle
