What are you driving? I needed about 50mm more offset than stock to run either my 33/12.5's BFG's or 35/10.5 pedes, to stop them rubbing on the control arms.
Pedes are generally considered crap on rocks. I drive mainly mud, so I can't say much

They are for a 85 Rangie, i am making 50mm wheel spacers.

Whats the weakest part of the diff, the centre or axels?

your axels will go well b4 the diff there 10 splines man u can take off to hard at the lights n break em

Ok didnt think they were that bad.
Any ideas on were to offset rims?
Rock crawlers are not really offset, Just any extra width above standard is added to the outside of the rim.

hahaha tru btu i have a locker lined up cheap so my weak point will be axels bahahaha
dw i have be raiding axels from a mate who has a stack of stuffed parts
he was blowin up centers n not axels
lol

Well ended up getting 33" swamper TSL's and Black "O" Rock crawler rims, the rims should be deliverd tomorrow, Picked up the tyres from OPW today.
Will give some feed back on the weekend when i test them out.

Hope my 10 splines hold out aye..

My bro was running 35x10.5 on hes 2 door rangie.. never broke diff or axels. I think the type of 4wd one does breaks stuff, if your a bulldozer driver expect to break sh!t all the time. He wasnt, he was always a tactical, analytical driver. Was into some difficult driving conditions, but was always sensible in hes approach.

Went to appin today, tyres are great.

Blew my rear diff though

Didnt think the centre would go before my 10 splines, maybe it was already on the way out.
Wasn't giving it that much of a hard time, eh sh!t happens.

Told ya

i remember years ago i blew my standard rear diff with stock tyres, then been running maxi rear and 33"x10.5" muddies over the last 4years with no dramas with standard front end and only had 2 front centres go

Just been quoted $275. for another centre from wreckers. Sounds about right to me, is that a decent price?

Are all stock diffs same ratio, dosent varie from auto to manual?

All the same 3.54

haha i just sold a center to a mate for 30 bucks there not worth taht much in my opinion

275 that's toyota price - you'd be mad to pay that much - can't give them away in Tas as there is no demand for them here. I would gladly exchange my old ones for a carton of beer or two

Hey Reddo, im from Hobart. I may keep you to that comment and get them off you one day You got any more spares for a 85 RRC?

Cheers,

Carlos

Yea, slab of melbourne soon gets me to part with a centre

I got 24 spline diffs complete here, shame your not in vic

If anyone has a centre i can buy please pm me, im about an hour south of sydney.

Need one asap.

Regarding your PM, the 24 spline diff's I would want 500 usually, but with frieght, about 250 to Sydney, its getting to dear for you to bother, they are marginally stronger, but still not strong enough, I'd give 'em to you for 650 delivered.......but think you start looking at alternatives, I'll leave it with the masses

Replaced the centre about 3weeks ago, but surprise surprise i blew it up again on the weekend. I need complete diff now, blew some decent holes in the housing this time.

I've got a 10 spline locker, set up ready to go, yours for 650 plus $200 frieght switch gear and air compressor for an extra 150

What happened to the Rangie??
