Well I don't have a car today so I can't help - but I have had a few apart. You need to be real careful - swap 2 identical parts and you will need to pay a professional a few hundred dollars to reset your diff. I can't tell much about the bolt from that pic though - any chance of another pic of the ...

Powertrax diff locks
Hi guys, I am putting in an order for some diff locks. Anyone interested? Add on $50 for my effort and I can get you some auto diff locks for pretty cheap. Should work out for about $450 per axle. Wait time is usually around 1-2 weeks. Let me know if you are interested. I want to order them on ...

Now that I am going with the more 'hum drum' solution (standard beam axle front with the strengthened drive shafts, cv joints, etc and ARB air lockers)
would the front diff from this pair do the job?

When I do my SAS I will: Use a hilux or bundera (similar) axle Put an air locker in it Use 4.88 gears Hardened drivelines\CVs from the states Should get it ...

I think if it was me I woudl just put a landcruiser front diff in it and call it good. Portals are cool, but getting the car to work properly as an engineered, registered car will be a massive headache. I am starting to lean this way as some of the most informative posts recommend the same thing ...

One issue with SASing an IFS vehicle is the resulted minimum height of the vehicle is quite tall as the IFS chassis does not allow for upward diff travel unless the vehicle is lifted fairly high (the chassis doesnt step up over the diff for clearance), If you go portals you not only have the lift ...

Are you sure you can even get the SAS registered seeing as you are in QLD. I was under the impression that you would be hard pressed getting any major mods legal there. I reckon investigate your options with the relevant authorities before committing any $$$ In answer to the first part, yes you can ...

I read through your post on overlander, Other than the coolness factor what are the big reasons for going portals ? In for a penny ...... something about a pound :cool: When I did the V8 conversion I could have saved money by putting in a Toyo 3L, 5L or commodore 6 cyl, etc. But if I was going to ...

Steering experts needed
Hi guys, I defined the part names in the below in case I got the names wrong. I think it is my pitman arm (the thick steel bracket going from Power Steering unit to the steering rod) that is bent. Must have hit a big rock some time ago. The end where the steering rod bolts on is bent up. This bring ...

I dealt with Dellows for my Lexus V8 to R150F bellhousing kit. Had no dramas at all, delivery was fast and all parts worked and fitted first time. Only modification required was to enlarge the hole for the clutch fork on the bellhousing to get full clutch movement. I thought you have had heaps of ...

I am set to finish my 1UZ conversion very shortly (everything but wiring by Monday - wiring when Scott can get to it ;( ) I learnt you are best to buy an engine plus everytyhing else instead of the front cut.

Ummmm no. I just lifted my 92 Surf (same body as 4Runner) and didn't break anything. You just need to do it right. But if you stuff things - those parts are still okay. It is just your steering rod which should be loostened. The shifter which needs to be undone\removed and may need a change or two ...
