Anybody serious about it will do research and check world wide pricing. That is the great advantage of the internet. I just got a batch of rope and gear from the states. Freight is stuff all in the context of things and still heaps cheaper than buying it from here.

Update: Problem solved. Was a combination of wheel bearings and king pin bearings. Replaced the lot and it drives like a dream again. Put longfields in whilst we were at it. Sort of annoying though as everbody who checked the vehicle said the bearings and kingpins were fine. Don't take anybody's ...

Hey guys,
I know that 75 series centres fit into 80 series diffs (Detroits). Will 75 series longfield cv's fit into 80's??

Davies Craig or Bosch make water pumps to suit. They are supplied with all the kits. I just changed to Bosch after Davies craig crapped itself after about 12 months.

Have yu got any spotties covering the front? Not a very wide opening on the front, if you put spotties in the way it makes a difference. I had the same problem. Fan will only be an issue around town at slower speeds. At highway speeds fan should be free wheeling. Only other things could be a ...

A lot of articles on here already covering this. In saying that, you can either re drill your spring perches on the diff or buy relocation plates from someone like snake racing.

80 series to HZJ75 chasis swap

Am weighing up options for suspension upgrade. Coil over / normal coil etc. Have got the opportunity to get an 80 series rolling chasis and am wondering if anybody has done a swap or if anyone has any ideas, comments or details on such a swap???

Cheers in advance!!

I Had them replaced when the Ubolt flip kits went in 6 months ago. Checked and they are tight, Why would replacing them make a difference. I could understand if they were stuffed. Not saying it couldn't be the fault, I am sure someone will explain it to me!! I have noticed a slight roll or ...

Update:
New suspension bushes = No change
Wheel Balance = No change
Wheel Alignment = No change (Casor etc all okay)
Mechanics can't fault front end i.e. King Pins, bearings etc.

I'm running out of ideas!! Apart from a coil over suspension and new diffs!

Hey Smithie, thanks. Luckily my brother in law works at a local Toy dealership as a spray painter. Made that job fairly simple. Going to be putting a new tray on it soon, although have modified it to get the tyres inside. Next step is to change to 80 series diffs and do a spring over conversion ...
