Hmm.. All great input guys... I though the diff center was centrally located on a 7# series.... Oh well, you learn something new every day. I'm coming to the conclusion that I should stick with the original diff and just put my diff failure down to the age of the gear set. I'm considering getting a ...

Cruiser Diffs into Hilux...Anyone???

Hey crew, Hoping for a bit of input regarding rear diffs for my Hilux. I have a Lexus V8 in my 1985 model (ex-diesel) tray back and the extra power killed my rear diff last weekend (stripped the pinion gear...), so I'm interested in a fix. I am considering just putting in a ARB locker with a ...

Hey BJ on Roids, Good to hear the Auto is sort of living. I have deliberated on whether to go auto or manual for ages. My previous experience has been similar to yours...Keep em cool (keeping oil in them is a good thing too). A couple of mates have run TH700's and they had a fair bit of grief with ...

No worries Bubs. Yep, the R series boxes are manual. I guess the point i was looking to make was simply that if you have a A341E then the first gear ratio may be a bit lame, 2.53 as I am led to believe. A340E has 2.804.

Hey Bubs, Looks like you have either a A340E or an A341 2wd trannie. I'm facing the same delema at the moment. I'm looking at a 1UZ-FE into my 1985 HiLux and have a A341E. The go is...If you want to keep this box and have RF1A Transfer case then you need: 1. Output shaft from a 4x4 trannie, ie A340F ...
