Outer Limits 4x4 Board

gday guys

Im looking into doing an engine conversion on my 96 lux.
ive narrowed it down to the 3.0ltd or the 3rz

I was just wondering if everthing forwards of the gearstick in a 98-2000 lux will go into a 96 lux both duel cabs.
So im talking th complete dash and maybe centre console and the rest ...

its a hilux.
im tryin to do it on the cheap so dont want to pay 1000 for gears when i can get these ones for 200 each.
Cousin owns newcastle gearbox and diff so i can get them swapped for nothing

i already have longfeilds and im 1/2 way through installing hydro assist.

I have nitrated 4.88's in the diffs with full detroits.
Not sure what else you can do to beef toy gear..

Dana 60's and an atlas will help :D

or maybe throw nissan stuff under it. i hear stock nissan cv's are stronger than ...

is a cig locker an actual locker or is it called cig welded locker because cig is a bran of welder?
newb question i know.

I will be inspecting all the teeth and everything before purchase.

Could i put the 5.29 gears in place of the 4.3's?like use them in the 4.3 3rd member housing?

so instead of ...

is 200 cheap?

Gday
im looking at buying some second hand 5.29 diff gears

Only thing im worried about is the bloke said it has a welded CIG locker in the rear.

can i take this locker out and put in an arb air locker from a 4.31 centre?

Thanks

only thing i can think left to upgrade is chromo hub gears or replace with hub flanges..maybe thicker driveshaft and tailshaft.

where are the tyres for sale and how cheap are they?

You cant engineer rod ends but you can engineer coil overs in nsw.

Hey guys
just wondering what you would expect to pay for 2x second hand 5.29 complete diff centres for a hilux?
cheers

how much you selling the 2.8 for?

youd just move the shackle hangers.
i didnt move mine when i did ifs rear and extended shackles and my shackle angle was perfect.

you can snatch off bullbar eyelets so why is it such a shock to attach the snatch strap to the part of the bar thats bent and carefully apply weight?
If they are 8.8 high tensile bolts they shouldnt/wont break

12mm would be plenty strong enough IMO.
but in saying that,if your going to cut on it with a plasma or an oxy you'll gouge any gauge material to some degree unless you lift it off the bench a bit.
Its going to be prety expensive so hold on lol.
If you know someone that works at one steel or blue ...

After driving both and owning earlier versions id much rather my navara for on road performance over the lux.
it a comfier ride too.
although my navara is a single cab and the hilux is a duel cab.
The new hilux has coilovers not sure if the new navara has torsion bar or coilover but i prefer the ...

tough dogs are terrible, they always bend and leak

ive straightened bars by putting them on the car then getting another forby to drive slowly forwards with a snatch strap attached.
Be careful not to go to far though

if you can work a cnc machine im sure you can rebuild a power steering box all by yourself

extending bumpstops does not limit your flex.
in fact it can help with flex by providing a leverage point for the diff.
If your going twin transfers you need a transfer case from a 79-83 model hilux or youll need a top shift conversion kit plus the adapter to fit them together.
Why dont you make a ...

might be a broken or damaged cv or broken or damaged diff centre also.

either way it wont be hard or really cost much to fix

did anyone mention going up a rocky track?

start your motor and blast the garden hose into the alternator and it should clean it and start working again.
if not pull it apart and clean it and it should work again.

id say they make a transfer case rebuild kit which would have the bearings in it.

they definitely do not make gears

yeah well i have a massive shake in my car that id like to hide lol.
i got the dampner for nothing because one of the threads was stuffed but i fixed it already.

as soon as i hit around 40km/h the whole car gets death wobbles and if you look out the window you can see the wheels jerking left and ...

gday

does anyone know if a tough dog RTC steering dampner from a patrol will fit on a hilux with hi steer? it is the exteme one that handles up to a 44'' tyre according to the tough dog website.

it has the 10mm folded plate brackets both ends with the little u bolts that hold it on.

Would you put ...

i can get hilux lockers for about a grand each new.
it cost me 1300 for front and rear lockers in centre's and i put them in myself.
i paid 180 brand new for a compressor with tyre inflation kit

look for second hand ones as often they are still in very good condition

its already been proven that hilux diffs can be made way stronger then patrol diffs by team dgr.

there is an awesome thread on 4wda with all comparing measurements of cv's,axles and other things between partol and hilux and a hilux cv wont fit inside a gq housing if i remember correctly,as its ...

im going to throw locktup 4x4 into the picture as they import from trailgear and are well proven in many many comps here and overseas.
they have free postage anywhere in aus and if you give them a call im sure you'll get things cheaper.
they have a full ifs eliminator kit which includes everything ...

those little square spotties on forklights light up pretty good.
just gotta find out where to get them from

.... my bro in law works at arb newcastle and has put me onto some ome leafs that his mate had in his ifs lux and they said they worked unbeleivably so ill see how that goes

I guess he has never seen or heard of Trail Gear stuff if he thinks the OME works "unbelieveably".

Sorry, should have read ...

you'll be hard up to find a 97 model lux with a solid front end.

its cheaper to buy it already done.
ballpark figure what is an ss vt worth?
ive seen 89-97 model lux's go for 1-2k simply because they had bald tyres n shitty paint but also in saying that ive seen them go for up around 10k for a neat ...
