'94 widetrack driveshaft conversion to hilux shafts

[Geoffrey Dick]

can this be done or is it a real pain? custom double carden front and rear shafts are pricey. is this a cheaper option? i.e. replacing sierra shafts with modified double carden hilux drive shafts.

i need extra length because of yj spring conversion

[bazooked]

i presume ur springover?, u just need a standard hilux shaft on the front, and a double cardan on the rear. the spigots or the yokes might need working depending on the year of the shafts, i just slotted the holes in my yokes to fit the sierra flanges.

[Geoffrey Dick]

any particular year good to use?

So its hilux rear shaft up front, and wont the suzi front shaft work in the rear? or am i confused? i think im confused.

[bazooked]

Hilux rear shaft in the front of a sierra,
hilux front shaft (double cardin) in the rear.

I have done this in my 92 wide track, the bolt patern is identical
But the locating spigot on the toyota flange is 1mm (from memory) larger than the suzuki, I had the toyota flages turned down as they will last longer than the suzuki parts that they bolt to
Mine was a bit tricky as I have a t/case mounted hand brake with a smaller bolt patern so I made an adapter plate that goes between the toyota flange and the suzuki drum

droopypete is spot on..

Mine were off a late(ish) solid axle model with vented discs, not sure of the year, but early lux's had solid discs not vented.
I know this only confuses the issue, sorry.

Droopy pete if your still on here have you got a drawing for the adapter you made for the toyo driveshaft to handbrake drum?

After many months of outerlimits anonymous, I was able to leave my keyboard and go outside (wow it was bright out there)

No I don't have a drawing.

I used hilux shafts and got then re worked by my local driveline place. They work the treat and heaps stronger.
