GQ/GU have 3.5, 3.9, 4.1, 4.3, 4.6 and after market 4.8 (4.3 and 4.6 can be got after market also).
Thats for the more common small center. Not sure what the H260 came with.

But whats wrong with the strength in the rear. I thought that was some thing on a toy that actually worked. I heard some break studs. But they can be upgraded to 10 or 11mm studs.

ah ok so i need to chase a 4.1 gq. do u know wich models these came out it like deisel or petroll, what year?

i want the gq for width no just strenght. and yes the yota rear diff is very strong but the axles and hubs let it down, cheaper to go to nisan gear rather than use longfeilds

the front diff will be running 4.11 ration with lsd r there any gq/gu gears that r the same? or any matching ratio between the two makes.

What are you breakin?? the studs?

cheaper to go GQ - maybe.. if you're keen on doin a lot of fab work to make it happen.

If the studs are the problem,, redrill em out to fit 3/8 UNC hexhead bolts with no cone's.
custom bar work, 4x4 parts, trailers, anything out of steel/alloy :D

manuel petrol's run 4.1's i believe , auto pets run 3.9's but i'm sure i have heard of different arragments ,but this is the norm gearing
if its worth doing do it intensly , better still do it with MADPASSION

You will find a pretty unpredictable mix of 3.9 and 4.1 in the GQs. For example my Maverick (GQ) has 3.9:1 diffs but is a manual, and this is pretty common. Basically, make no assumptions and check the diff before you buy.
This is not legal advice.
