Seeing I got an absolutely overwhelming response to my front HP 5.29 strength question I thought I would asked this :-
Is the Bundy front HP C&P identical to an 80 Series front HP C&P ??
I remember reading somewhere that the 80 ones are a bit thicker/stronger ?? If so will an 80 series front HP C&P bolt directly into a Bundy ??
Expecting another breathtaking response from the Tojo boys
I dont know of any difference in strength between them.
5.29's.........well, alot of the guys in the US run them and swear by them. The aftermarket gears are supposed to be a hell of a lot stronger than the original toyota gears. Me and Matt have run original toyota 5.29's in our zooks for a while now and not broken them.
if you can i would try and run the low pinion, i dont think it would give you as much trouble as the high pinion would. Gearing options are much cheaper too.
when i said in reverse, i meant while reversing. i have been told that a high pinion diff in the FRONT will be more likely to grenade during a reversing manouver.

Unless you are reversing up hill, it's no worse than going forwards with a low pinion. As far as I understand anyway
The high pinion will be fine for you Mister Bishi, just never tow in reverse.
Make sure you get a airlocker for the front diff as this will add strength to the crown wheel.
In my opinion I would keep my eyes/ears open for a bundy/80/gq complete front diff cheap. The first one you get cheaperst should be the one you use, GQ you can get 4.8 gears and they are heaps strong.
The 80/bundy diffs are the same, there is no difference in the strength between those two. The high pinions are fine going forwards, if you start reversing particularly up a hill, and or while towing someone they start to hate life. hopefully this helps.

Mmmmm GQ tight fit in toyo housing???
I would say Bj meant a whole front axle, disc to disc. I think Frank will be modifying it either way to drop into the paj so cruiser/patrol won't make a whole lotta difference.
