Hilux Diff Questions

Post by whiteknight »

OK I am wanting to put lokkas (probably lockrite - thats all i can afford at this stage) in the front and rear of my LN106 Hilux.

The trans/axle code is G285 so I take it that it has a LSD (which isnt working)?

Apparently you can't buy Lockrite lokkas for LSD's anymore so I need to replace the rear diff with an open centre?
Do all Diesel Hilux's have the same diff ratios?
Can I use a front one in the rear if I find one?

would I be better off swapping the whole rear axle with an IFS axle (wider track?) & are the rear diffs and ratios the same between IFS and Solid axle versions?


thats hsould be about it I think :lol:

I would be putting all that money on two lokkas and diff swapping into a single ARB Air Locker for the rear. Then there is no need to think so hard.

As bubs said - Air Locker all the way! Strength, functionality and a compressor to boot! Save up - Its worth the money. Also if you get the air lockers tell em $$ is the key and your not going to fork out the extra, also tell them comp work is an option in the future and i got HD lines and the weld on gaurd thingies as well no extra cost! I was happy with that :)

If your pulling out the guts of both diffs relace with ARB jobbies! I did front air locker and mate did 2 x lockrites - i run circles around him all the time!

Could be a large amount of driver skill involved :armsup: Serioulsy go the ARB airies!

Weld your front centre and put it in the rear and put an air locker in the LSD and put it in the front
