Pipes,

So can you please enlighten me as to what front diff you have got fitted? and what you have done?

I assume an 80 series front diff, flipped?

Have been real keen on getting it done myself.

Cheers
Dave

You decided to keep it now?

Is that why you were trying to sell, because of the IFS?

any apics of this hilux? Ive got an 07 running 3inch lift and 33's and will be looking into some gears this year and trying to squeeze "skinnier" 35's on it too. more likely something like 34/10.5x16 swamper LTB's for offroading but would like to see pics of this one.

is this the bronze coloured one that was in 4x4 monthly ages ago.the extra cab chassis?

I know in the states they are managing to run the Taco's with 3inch lift and 35's. but you need the perfect offset wheel, trim the body mount and some plastic.

We did the work for the owner its not our truck.

It runs full 80 series front end including radius arms,steering box,coil towers panhard.It also runs a Dobbin Engineering Crosslink very similar to Chads.(professor).
Cost wise as its not totally finished so its hard to be exact but it will be around the $10000 mark.
When it is finished we will post up some pics of it in action.
