After driving approx 8km's this am, I got out of the Mav' and noticed smoke wofting from the left rear wheel.( )

lighten up on the right foot perhaps?

swivel hubs - been there, done that. Have fun

now for a reply that may actually help.

i knew mine was farkd, because i could grabv the flange at the diff, and move it sideways, and up and down ,and all around. HEAPS of play. thats what was doing it for me. the bearings had shat emselves

i had similar problem. rear diff was on way out. ended nasty, with 5 broken teeth.

the pinion gear, not mine!

yeah, it should be, however its not. nor is it in the glove box as it is sometime found. i don't think mine has one

bump!

i have same question for same car!

ok, so i've done a search for 'engineering 33's' and all variations, and you can get stuffed if you think i'm gonna read through thousands of topics that contain those words. what i want to know, from either people who do know, or have done, is what exactly i have to modify/add to my 85 2.4 turbo ...

radial claws are designed for on road use... its the bias ply claws that are not designed for on road use... Do some more research buddy only 10% road and 90% off road i think he meant that the radials are designed as a tyre which are able to be used on road, unlike the bias, which from what i ...

does anyone make a lift kit for houses then?

gearbox and transfer should be right. they were the same for a lot of years. if have a LN106 tranfer case on my LN61 4 runner.

in terms of the diff, i assume the 85 4runner is IFS?

procomp x-terians have a similar tread patern to claws and a cheaper (especialy in 35i) what do u guys rate them against claw they don't seem as chunky but as it stands they are my options 35i xterains or 33i claws. how much are they for the procomp x-terians? $ 328 for 33" and they are better than ...

bump!

been told not to use aluminium, as it has been known to punch through the floor!!

maybe plastic is the way to go

yeah it is solid front axle. May have to put in a bid then! thanks!

instead of starting a new topic, i thought i'd just use this one for a similar querie.. i got an '85 4Runner, and the swivel hubs are leaking grease and shit, and i can't find any 4Runner specific kits on ebay, but can i use these hilux ones? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-HILUX-SWIVEL ...

aluminium hey? i think i can scrounge up half a dozen off cuts of 50mm OD from work and turn it up for nuthin! or is 50mm not thick enough? does it need to be 60+?

we use rocol at work. smells like shit, but does the job well. used it tapping stainless in the CNC and no dramas!

got me a V good condition rear 4.5 diff for $440, and a transfer case for $195 from halls. they definately try to get ya the best, as the diff (to go in rear) was formerly a front, meaning it had done less work, and the transfer case was out of an ln106, a later model hilux, but same case, just ...

i was thinking about retreads, then i rang a few places and got 4 Simex 31" Simex Centipedes (ok, they're just normal muddies, but the DO say centipedes on them, as i like to point out! ) for $600. and by my maths, rounding the 8 and carrying the 2, that equals $150 per tyre. brand spanking new too!

fark them all. anyone who knows nothing about 4WD's has NO business trying to make rules restricting them in any way shape or form. as all of you EXPERIENCED 4X4ers probably know, a car wwill handle differently with 33's and 100m+ lift, but you know how to handle it. these idiots are trying to ...

great! it makes sense now! thanks for you help guys. and i thought i'd haveto wait for a day or two for a reply!

cool. so even though the pinion is turning the crown wheel on the underside of the teeth, it will still run/sound/wear as normal?

i went to the wreckers the other day to get another diff to replace the bufggered one in my 4runner. What he gave me was a 4.5 diff, but a front diff. his reasoning was that it had done less work. then a guy at work who knows his shit on cars, said thats crap, and that the meshing of the gears will ...

doesn't the swaybar just hold the axles and body on the same plane? therefore, disconnecting it won't give more travel as such, rather let the axles move more independantly in relation to the body?

are you getting the tensioned wire for that price too? i got about 2x boxes ofBushranger Flexi Flares from TJM, each with 2 meters of 65mm flare and the wire that goes through it for $55 per box

pfft, SOFT!! wheres the mud and the dented panels???

i need a new heater hose for my 4 runner, but repco say they don't hold them, or at least my local one said he doesn't have them. where do i go to get one?

anyone got rods mobile? i went there today but the place was cleaned out.

can i still go back and get my stuff then?

just called TJM warehouse in coburg, and the guy said they're still up and running. so maybe they don't like phones? lol

tried fax - didn't go through
