a mate bought a s/hand 9 inch diff for the rear of his hilux when he pulled the axles and centre out, we found 30 spline axles !!! it runs standard hilux brakes and i think they are hilux axles ???
how does this work is it special spider gears in the diff how does he go about getting a locker to suit???

Should put a cruiser diff in the back then you can fit a std locker and it uses all std parts (except housing)

Double check that the axles are standard hilux, if so then the side gears have to have been changed. If so ring ARB"s head office and speak to someone in a technical department, Alot of there side gears are interchangeable between there lockers.It all depends on the locker sizes.
Dana 44 side gears fit into a hilux locker.

i have seen hilux axles in ford housings, front and rear even with Grimace toy cv's !!
supposively the spring perches dont need to set out board or inboard, they're a straight bolt in/
providing your 9in came out of a ford 4wd pick up

thats the Grimace, unless it started life as a 28 spline 9" why would you go to all that custom work to have hilux axles, 31spl 9" custom axles can be had cheaper and stronger. i thought.....
