1hz would be the cheapest option mate. if u were about 3 weeks earlier i had my fully rebuilt 1hz for sale. i wouldnt go for a 1hdfte only because of wiring and all that fuss. 1hdft 24 valve would be my choice no electrics.. but again dear as poison.

Re: 75 series cruiser HELP

how did you raise the inner guards 60mm?

also one downfall i see is that the flatter springs make the shackle end stick out more which is more likely to hit rocks hmm

Re: 75 series cruiser HELP

would you say 60 series rear main and wrap leaves with the current front pack (minus the wrap and main ofcourse) be a good idea?

i wish someone would do a how to on spring disassembly, heard if they're not clamped they can explode or something?

Re: WHATS THE DIFFERENCE??CASTROL MULTITRAX AND EPX????

when i first looked up the castrol site and saw it said GL5 after reading GL4 in my manual, this confused me, and that is what got me to do my research.

from experience of my own and from the recommendations of many others, i would recommend VMX-M for the gearbox/transfer, EPX 80w-90 for the front ...

Hi Guys,

I have an Email from Castrol dated July 27, 2007 about GL4 vs. GL5.

This is an excerpt:

"API GL-5 gear oil designates service of hypoid and other types of gears
commonly found in rear axles. A GL-4 oil may be employed in certain manual
transmissions.

if you look in the toyota manual it specifies GL-4...

and you can google 'GL4 vs GL5', you'll get PLENTY of results detailing why you shouldnt put GL5 into a GL4 box

GL5 has sulphur oxide or something, cant remember the details.

also if you google and ask what gearbox oil to use on this site or ...

you dont run GL-5 oils in the gearbox/transfer

GL-5 has a chemical in it that eats away at the copper synchros in the gearbox

when i got my 75 from dad the mine mechanic through GL-5 in, the box was clunky and hard and the oil when drained was awful!

in that case, the only 9.5" diff on the arb website is suited to the rd152 locker ...
