The rear diff is a landcruiser and the front is a reversed cut hilux type one. Some have experienced problems with the front, prolly mainly from bigger tyres, locked diff and power, sometimes all 3 together, then add reverse and a hill and well you may have dramas. But I havent had an issue, prolly coz I lack power, only have 34s, arent locked in the front and am careful!
Great all round truck!
80 series, Locked both ends, Q78ed & a massive 57 k/w to boot!!!!

hello muddyperils

the late 93 & up 80s run the larger cv joints so id say your on the money looking at 94 model 80s

correct me if im wrong from 94model 80s to 100s use the same front diff centre & cv joints

so 100s front diff assembly is no stronger than 94+ 80s

the brakes would be improved thow

cheers, i hope this is true.I've been reading stuff about the back of some cruisers cracking around the rear window (bottom) to rear door area, particularly when body lifted, is this very common or just UNLUCKY????
