Ok, the new front diff is in the rangie. The 80 series diff took a bit more work than the GQ diff but it should be worth it in the end. I will post some pics in the next few days (forgot my camera DOH).
This time, rather than use the Toyota stuff, we have kept all the rover stuff execpt fot the housing / stubs / centre.
You would be hard pressed to tell it apart from a rover diff until you see the stud patern and the FWH's. Even used the Rover control arms so I can get some slotted bushes for it. They did cause a slight problem in so much as to get the caster and pinion angle correct, the rear drag link wanted to go through the middle of the control arm. This was fixed by cranking the control arms. It is now spot on.
All that is left to do is get some 16" Rims and tyres and the front is done. On to the back diff.

About 12 months ago I took the rover diffs out of the Rangie and replaced the with GQ Patrol diffs. I have now replaced to GQ diffs with 80 Series Landcruiser diffs.

A few reasons, I got sick of the vibration from the rear diff due to the offset on the rear housing. I found a set of 80 series diffs with airlockers at the right price, I prefer full floaters in a vehicle you are going a long way from anywhere in, and I wanted the GQ diffs for my other rangie comp truck.

Hi Dan,ranover wrote:i was going to do the gq diff thing later down the track but was looking at what grimace and you have done and it sounds logical. how bad is the vibration and does it only do it on high speeds.
dan
Yeah, at higher speeds is where you really notice it, anything above about 100KPH

so when offroad would gq diffs be the better option for the rangie say in comps ( i guess as thats your plans) was also thinkin the centre conversion for the cheaper alternative just worried i might do it wrong and diff swappin seems like the go for comp work. would love to enter some comps late this year or early next year anyway will have to check out your truck when we go to LCMP for the rover trip post some pics of your beast

They were already done from last time but made a little adjustment, cruisers run a single line that splits with a T peice on the front diff on a '96 model, I have pissed that off because with the Rover M/C I could, now have a seperate line to each front caliper, the thing now does endo's like a sports bike (Ok maybe not quiteAnthonyP wrote:top stuff maggot
just a question regarding the front brake lines.... how did you go about fitting em off and by whom?
cheers
Anthony
)the brakes grab that well [quote="Wooders"]If ya want a 4x4 camry go ahead & buy a Patrol or Cruiser.[/quote]Rangie with 80s LC diffs, Isuzu 4bd1, Twin ARB lockers, 8000lb Hi mount warn, 315x75x16 Procomp XTerrains
Didn't have any rover housings, and I like the wheel options with 6 stud6.5 rangie wrote:Wy didn't you just do a toy centre conversion in rover housings? Is it due to rear diff strength?
Besides, someone has to be different.
