I need a set for my POS
have heard that 2wd hilux and some hiace vans come out with these standard so my question is
does anybody know what models they came out in
what would the axle code be on the compliance plate
how strong are they most of my 4x4ing is bouncing round paddocks lookin for pigs
and the occasional weekend of playing on the rough stuff
all help is greatly appreciated and many thanx in advance

im staying with 5.29s for now, they come out of a hiace van , not sure on the exact model, they seem to be getting hard to find these days lots of ppl buying them for thier luxs and busting them, best places to call are commercial wreckers that are wrecking hiace vans.
As for strenght they seem to be pretty strong, i have given them a good flogging with 32's and the 2.8d, but if you were running 35s+ and a v8 im sure youd chew them out pretty quick.

the axle code for 5.29 8" is G16* ; G mean 8", 16 is 5.29, * will be 2 for a 2 pinion open diff, 4 for a 4 pinion or locker, 5 for a limited slip.
in my opinion the 4.88 gears are a better option, they are significantly stronger with 39/8 teeth, the 5.29's have 37/7 and the tiny pinion is very easy to blow teeth off if you're not mechanically sympathetic.

Thanx guys
the only reason i wanted to get them was to try and pick up the revs alittle cause the pus 3y is gutless when it comes to the hills
and very noticeable when im loaded up with gear for a week away shooting
plus when i go away i run 32/9.50 simex ET2's and even unloaded with the ET2's on its a bucket off
Oh well guess i will have to pull my finger out and do the SR20 coversion and just put up with the 4.88

Just out of curiosity how much of a rev increase would i get with the 5.29's
110k's in 5th it sits on about 3200rpm
cheers again guys

if you currently have 4.88's:
( (4.875-5.286)/4.875 ) * 100 = -8.43%
3200rpm -8.43% = 2930rpm

5.29's and 35's i could 110 below boost, surely a 2.8 would hold 110.

I find with 5.29's and 35's my gearing is close to stock.
