Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The hilux diff pinion spline

I reckon I have an hour invested in that centre bearing. as said before the f250 rubber centre bearing is a good option at around $100-$120 off eBay, criddy from dragtec runs one in his buggy. There are so many options that all seam to work.

I made my own using hilux pinion, 2xpinion flanges, 2 bearings and some NB pipe

Pips rig looks more like a jeep than some of the other rigs there are suppose to be. As a fellow competitor it's awesome to see people out there willing to push the rules to the limits like Pip has. It's just makes me want to lift my game even more. Credit where it's due fellas if it didn't comply ...

The little engine that could is just about ready for battle, can't wait to just get out and drive it

I know of one that might be forsale

I stand by what I said otherwise I wouldn't have said it lol.

C'mon guys. Aren't we supposed to be supporting local companies? Everyone complains that we can't get this stuff here in OZ and when someone like mick fawks out some big coin to import a whole bunch of parts that people are looking for we just say "Meh, I can do better than that". Its no wonder ...

Like I said have a chat with Sweeney about it he had good results , could also change valving the same way you would in a coilover,sometimes just flipping the packs over can get good results.

Get onto Michael Sweeney he has played around alot with different oils of varying viscosity.

With diff width I just thought well the widest car down pretty much any trail in Australia and that would be a gu patrol so stayed similar width to gu diffs I'm at 65" in the front and stock gu in the rear in the rear wich is 63" I'm pretty sure with neg 30 rims, I've always liked my front just that ...

Who is running a $200k buggy?

Your really missing his point there............

If you guys spent as much time building as talking shit you'd all be finished. Tuff truck is tuff TRUCK, alot of you are already pushing the 'truck' notion far enough. Can hardly tell what some of the cars are supposed to be. Just my 2c Isn't that why rules are invented, to be interpreted in 50 ...

Rules done need to change to enter both just build a buggy with chassie rails.

WICKED wrote:Tuff TRUCK not Tuffest in CLASS.

we don't agree on much but I agree with this.

Why should an exception be made for 1 or 2 cars when all the new enternats and some old have bite the bullet and changed rigs or done redisgns to encorporate the correct material? Just my 2c.

I know of an MQ you could get plenty of NB pipe from.............people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.......



Thanks for an intelligent reply On the exo issues Steve.

Don't run airlockers Aaron, full spools lol

There's always pros and cons tho, a mechanicals lever very rarely fails where as a switch and air line leaves room for malfunction. Each to there own really, I've gone mechanical lever due to not wanting to run a compressor or air lines.

That's cause the cv and axles are your weak link when stepping upto a 35 spline Dana axle instead of the long fields your running ATM that might change and you might start popping centres who knows. It's just preference I can attest to the strength of a patrol centre as its what criddy runs in his ...

I wouldn't think so Johnsy but you could have a spare nissan center built Arb Complete center cheaper than a 9" with a spool I'd say. $1200 for locker and $600 mods, $400 new gear set = $2200. Don't think you would get a 9" here for that..... Room mate gets 9" centres built with lightned gears any ...

Has any one seen a Nissan high pinion front fail in front application? I built mine around the H233b cause I haven't, I did have ever built mine to be 35 spline. If I do break a few Nissan diffs, my axles will fit in any 35spline centre (D60, D76, 9", etc) I'd need a new housing but that's all. I ...

And this is where I've seen Nissan diffs break. So figure why not go the 9"

I would go the 9"'just for the pinion support alone.a full spool 35 spline 9" pretty much any ratio are a lot cheaper than I thought.

Anyone running these yet wouldnt mind some feed back on the qg ones

Gq airlocker?..............wtf u on he states he has an 86 hilux.........think wickeds the noob here

Ive owned mine for 5 years only had to replace alternator its got 220, 000 best vehicle ive ever owned in reguards to reliability only think I can fault it on is fuel consumption, , its auto too, I wouldnt say there gutless when towing either mine tows great.

Could try to convince criddy from dragtec to build you a frame
