Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If interested, I have a 'LOKKA' part number LR13 brand new in box from 4wd systems which I am not using. $550 and I could post it anywhere in Australia. Bought it for a 1987 BJ73, will fit most cruisers (NON LSD)

thanks crusty

reason is i ordered a LOKKA but the part number is the same as one i already fitted in the front. i though the diffs were different

thanks again

Hello, I have a K082 rear diff
Is this open or limited slip?
I know it's a 9.5" and 4.11:1

Thanks
Sam

yeah, i contacted them over in the states and all they need is an axle length and they can make them to suit

anyway, still deciding
*better cv's?
*change driving style?
*rear lokka?
*all of the above


thanks for the replys

thanks everyone for your info and assistance. please keep the comments coming.
I am now weighing my options and will contact locktup soon.

P.S Maxxi, that was definately the worst hill my middy has been on. I was very happy i got that far up!

I will go back and try again after some mods are done ...

Hey all,

Yes, I have a BJ73 non turbo 3B with 34 11.5 x 15inch simex and front 'Lokka'. Out of 3 trips I have broken the RH CV twice. On both occasions it struggled on a rocky hill climb and after 2-3 attempts it went bang. What am I doing wrong? I know its a weak point on Toyota's but maybe its a ...

thanks for the helpful replies, I have ordered the bush through Toyota. I work for them, so I get a hefty discount on parts. sweet.

can anyone help me with this question????
On the back of the knuckle spindle there is a brass bush.
Mine is flogged. Broke a CV and demolished an axle on the last trip.
How is this bush removed?
Is it an easy replacement job?
Anyone had experience with damage to this bush?

Gday mate,

Castrol VMX 80 is the go in Toyota gearboxes.
I changed my BJ73's gear oils and found it was definately smoother shifting when cold.

Let us know how it goes.

Here is a handy diff ratio calculator for those interested...

The diff ratio you need = The size of tyres you want multiplied by your current diff ratio divided by your stock tyre size .

Example if you want 35's, you have 4.11's and stockys are 31's.....

35 x 4.11 / 31 = 4.64

Then you can round ...

might sound silly, but how about buying a complete kit, copy the template and then return it with some weird ass excuse... hopefullt getting your money back.??

sounds a bit much to me...
for $850 i would expect a full swivel hub kit, wheel bearings, all leaking seals replaced and a wheel alignment. plus $100-$150 in change.

Im after some help with some handbrake issues after a 2" body lift.
The cable catches on the diff bracket when the handbrake is on. How have you guys overcome this? new bracket? cut bracket off? different handbrake?
much appreciated.

mate, a friend is helping me with a 3.5" stainless snorkel on my BJ73. I made the mistake of getting heavy guage stuff (3mm wall thickness) and it weighs alot more than i hoped. We are drilling a hole right through the A pillar and using 10x 80 long bolts with rubber bushes, i can reach in and put a ...

jonno, what do you mean it stays on for 20 seconds? is that the light on the dash or the click you can hear under the bonnet?
i too have a BJ73 and i need to glow it 3-4 times when its cold.
ie: ignition on, wait till light goes off (5-6 seconds), then ignition off and back on (3-4 times).
pain in ...
