Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cheers Lads! I've decided to go Auto. Based on the reasons i said before: 1. Reliability 2.Capability for towing & offroad. The big question is, What Auto to use? Any of the options i've mentioned above or any other suggestions? I've bought a Celsior front cut. Good fuel economy would be handy too.

Cheers woodbutcher!
What Auto box ya reckon?
Just leave the hilux diffs in n change the ratio to 4.88?
Was thinkin of chuckin disc brakes in it.
From a cruiser probably depending on the box i use. Maybe even patrol....
What ya think?

Hey Lads, I've been lookin at doin this 1UZFE conversion (Celsior front cut) into my 93 x-cab hilux 2.8L with SAS runnin 35's for months now, and i just cant decide which way i should go. AUTO or MANUAL???? My options so far; Auto: 1. Celsior auto box that comes with front cut and bolt on the chain ...

I'm runnin a 2.8D with a CT20 turbo.
The G52 box seems to be a recurring problem for many with this setup.
Is this conversion easily possible?
Is it just a matter of changing bellhousings & maybe cross member?

Cheers!

Was just gunna buy 4.88 or 5.29 ratios for me hilux diffs.
Just tryin to "kill a few birds with one stone"!
1. Higher ratio diffs to suit me 35's.
2. Disc brakes in rear.
3. Wider track (If much wider than IFS Hilux diffs)
The cheaper the better obviously.
What more ideas we got?

Anyone any ideas on exactly what Patrol ya get these 4.8 ratio diffs out of?

Sweet! Cheers mate. What model patrol are 4.6:1 ratio diffs out of? Also how do i go about settin up the handbrake from the drum to disc setup?

Hi Lads,
Interested to find out what the highest standard diff ratio you can get in a Patrol with disc brakes. I wanna chuck em in a Hilux runnin 35's. Ratio 4.8:1 would be good but unsure if Patrol's run that high of a ratio.
Cheers!

Picked up R150F Gearbox & Transfer. Now on the hunt for the conversion kit. My 3 options are Marks Adaptors, CRS & Dellows. Before i ring these places to get a bit better of an understanding with what parts i will need. I wouldn't mind a bit of a heads up, so i dont get conned into something by a ...

Pickin up the R150f gearbox from a V6 4 runner on tuesdi.
Is there anything else worth gettin from the wreck that may be useful or handy to use with the conversion? E.g. driveshafts, crossmember etc.

Cheers lads, for the heads up! So it seems the V6 4runner box is the way to go. Whats the difference between the R150F & R151F? Which is more suitable? Will i have dramas with change in length of box? Will i have to move the box back to make room for fan/radiator? Will the cross member line up? Diff ...

Hi, I'm doin a body swap from a 88 surf with ifs to a 84 4runner solid axle. Yep a solid axle conversion! I'm gunna take all the diesel running gear with it as well.
