Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im going to put land crusier diffs under my wt zook . just wondering how to adapt the drive shalts . and also the steering ? please dont ramble on about wich diff is better and how suzuki diffs will be good enough for diferent size tyres . im just after some advice on how to get them under there . thanks

do u know what you are doin for brakelines?willl they bolt up?

do a 60 have a highsteer setup that u could buy? id assume they would

dunno bout drive shafts? id say use the 60s with some sort of spacer like what "rockrat" off pirate makes for toy to zuk


what size tyres do u think u r goin to run?

i think they come with high steer setup . i havnt got them yet. i am going to put the back in first cause it will be easier . im going to run the standard split rims to keep the width down till i work out what im doing flair wise.

we make an adapter to use a toyota cardan joint in a zook. I will get a pic of it today.

sick! 60 series diffs are pretty good

take photos as you go

What size rubber you planning to run .. thats some beef under a Zuk ..

(I am seriously looking for MQ diffs for mine so I can run 35's to 37's with impunity ... )

Immunity?

edit: bold fix

Impunity being exempt from punishment or from injury as consequence of act

here endeth the lesson

im·pu·ni·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-pyn-t)
n. pl. im·pu·ni·ties
Exemption from punishment, penalty, or harm.

without breaking stuff or wearing out bearings eh guy?

I was going by this... i.e. Driving with mass agression - which is pretty similar to how be drives anyway...

you can put hilux hi steer arms on to TLC60 diffs
they also use the same CV so you can upgrade them too

how do the 60 series stuff compare size and strength wise to the hilux stuff

front end is pretty similar

front short side inner = fj40 inner
front long side inner = hilux inner

full float rears available
R&P is bigger

i have a cardinal front drive shaft in the garage . the good thing about these diffs is the back is offset same as zook ones .planning of running 35s witha exstended weelbase .sick off doing wheelbearing i want to built it tuffer so i dont have to worry all the time about things breaking. on my last zook i did two wheel bearings runnig 31s both times the whole axle came and out lost all brakes not fun at all

I think that has probably more to do with maintenancs than anything else. i have run massively offset rims on n/t diffs with 34" swampers and have had to change 2 bearings in 4 years and that is with a lot of mud and water driving.

Have you thought about diff clearance issues ?

I run the 60 series diffs under my 40 series with 38" TSLs and I beleive NAM had the same diff clearance on 34s

Something to think about.

Having said that they are very strong. They handle abuse from a 1.8 ton rig with a V8 and 38s. So I am sure they will last forever on a Zook with 35s

guess jake better get some 38s

clearance isn't everything but it helps i guess

I am also planing on fitting a v6 at the end of the year so need the strength . Id rather over engineer it than keep breaking stuff and end up doing the conversion anyway. Nothing like gatting stuck i the middle of nowhere

With a V6 and big diffs - perhaps somewhere else worth looking at strength issues would be the chassis?
