60 series diff type for US import

[CanberraMav]

Im going to look into importing some ring and pinion gears from the US and although i know the 60 series have the 4.1 gears i cant seem to find this on US sites as they call things for example a 81/2 inch 10 bolt diff etc.

What do i need to tell the US guys so i recieve the right parts?

Thanks

Any one got some 5.29's going cheap?

Do a search on Ebay on the US site. There is a seller who ships to Aus on there.

cruiser ring and pinions are the same in the US. they got 3.7:1 in the 60, and 4.11 in the 62's but the bolt pattern etc are the same as ours.

only differences are that their carriers are machined out to take the C clip to hold the semi floating axles in, where ours don't have the machining to hold the c clips (as we got full floating axles).

you can use the semi floater diffs in a full floater application, but not vice versa, due to needing the c clip recess.

apart from that, the diffs are the same.

Thanks for that.

So basically any of the US stuff i can use as long as its for the 60 series?

yep. the 8 1/2 inch 10 bolt i think is hilux stuff.

the front 60 series diff in the US is exactly the same as the front and rears we use out here (apart from the 3.7:1 ratio). no machining on the housing for C clips, as the front is full floating.

I have a 88 FJ62 which "needs" (I want) a front locker, couple of questions so I know what to order, are the diffs in a 62 series cruiser 4.11 or 4.1:1, how many splines (is it relevent). Anything else that I need to know.
Thanks.
