how much frabrication did you have to do. what would be easier in other words seeing you have done it all gu diff swap. toy centre conversion, or toy diff swap was going to go maxi but this just seems more cost effective

dan

nice job by the way

For the front end, GQ is by far the easiest, it is just bolt in, make a steering arm, block a brake pipe, redrill the pinion flange and your done.

For the rear, I would go 80 series, due to the offset of the diff and the fact they are full floaters.

I wouldn't do just a centre swap, personal pref, I don't think the hilux diff is strong enough for the rear.

Yeah, I wanted the weaker diff in the tourer rather than the comp truck

What's the best way to cut the old spring perchers off the axle assembly? is Oxy ok even with the excessive heat?

And where do you get the new spring perchers from? Did you just fabricate them yourself? Obviously the mount for the rear A frame is custom made...

Cheers

Oxy if you are good with it, grinder if your not. As for the purches, they are taken from the old rover housing.

About 4.5"

I beleive the toyo (80series) are about 63.5" wms-wms
rover is just under 59" (measured)

ps. the 100s toyo diffs are another 1.5-2" wider :cool: i want sum :cry:

I don't think 100s are wider than 80s, if they are it is small difference.

100s front axles are same as 80s and cv's are about 3mm longer, so any difference is in the hubs.

I have 100s for my rangie and the track is about 115mm wider than rover with 1" wider rims on the 100s.

Is this what you are running or are you running 80s diffs front and back?

Top effort by the way. Looks :cool:

They are quieter than my old BFG's, they drive very well in the dry on the road, they do aquaplane a little bit in the wet.

I haven't had them off road yet but will let you knw,

Love the land Rover sticker in the middle of the Nissan Rim :armsup:

How does it steer? Any problems with castor or vibration? What about the tailshafts ... are they running straight and without too much strain on the unis?

Looks great :D

It steers great, castor is spot on, no tail shaft vibes or anything. Needs new front shocks but other that that I couldn't be happier.
