80 series front into hilux

Post by Bagdad mafia »

Hi all
Will a hilux diff centre fit in to an 80 series front housing ?

want to put coils in the front of my hilux using an 80 series front housing but want to keep my front locker and low pinion for clearance issues with my sump

Thanks
Gav.

Can you mod the sump and pick up, shouldn't be too hard if you are doing a coil conversion.

Cheers
