Toyota would sell you one, but sit down before you get the price...other than that, its wreckers for a rear hilux extracab (i think) shaft and rape it

[bruiser]

any driveline shop will have one.
You do realise you wil have to shorten your shaft to fit it though.

about $300 new from memory

With what lift does a Double Cardon joint become useful for on a 105 series solid axles?

With 4" lift at the front a friend's is vibrating like hell.

Any suggestions where to get one in Canberra?

[dow50r]

Over 3 inches lift and with caster correction, the angles of the dangles changes for the worst......especially on manuals, which have shorter shafts....

i brought mine from hardy spicer then had it grafted onto my origonal shaft and yes they do come in 100 series bolt pattern , or ya can bye a hilux one and have an adaptor plate made between the transfer and the shaft that also works well .

Now that sounds like a top idea...if the spacer is long enough, no driveshaft mods would be necessary....

i had a spacer in my first tailshaft and then when i went to hardy spicer to bye the second one they told me about it .

The front shaft in a hilux all LN106's have a double cardon shaft

[dow50r]

The front shaft is not thesame bolt pattern as the 80/100...the rear shaft with d.c is the right bolt pattern, but shaft needs cutting shorter....hoever, this adapter sounds the ducks guts, especially if it retros a shorter lux front shaft to the 80/100....

Have you thought about a part time kit for it?

Do you think you'll need it? I've just clocked over 100k with a 4 inch lift in a 105 and dont have one. Have had no issues with it up to this point. Have adjusted the diff by slotting and welding to keep the front end right.

[dow50r]

Thats a good point...you probably wont need it if you only adjust 2 degrees but a 4 inch lift needs more than 2 to bring it back to std caster...however, living with a twitchy front end is easier than a vibrating one....

Yep, had to put near 5 degrees into mine and even then it took a fair bit of fluffin around top eventually get it to steer well. seem to have it sorted now though.

what brand spring are in it?

[treebruiser]

Dobsons with tuff dog shocks. The springs are the really heavy duty ones, 22mm I think....basically I carry too much weight and the last set could not handle it.
