Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi
just wanting to know if anyone has convertered ther 100 series from full time 4wd to part time using the hubs and gearbox adjustments?
wanting to know if it gives the car much more power spinning one diff full time?

Thanks!

The steering is way lighter, any problems associated with your front diff/axles are gone, wear and tear and gone. Power isnt noticable, nor is gain in economy.

I prefer mine part time. Was a bit clunky in the drive line after 300 thou! Plus i like been able to select 2WD or 4WD. i wouldn't say it makes the car feel more powerful. What 100 series have you got? - part time kit doesn't work with ABS model i've been told. need to check that out

I've only got the gearbox mod on mine. The car wanders a bit in the steering as it is lighter. You can put the locking hubs on but the ABS won't work and go to normal braking (NON ABS). Insurance company won't like the ABS not working. You can get 79 cv's and hubs instead of buying the AVM ones.

Just having the gearbox mod wont make any difference at all without the hubs, as everything is still turning.

It's all turning but no load from the gearbox. It's more to stop the backlash forming in the cv area. I've got about 270,000km's on mine and it's fine still. I want to put the hubs on but I don't want the insurance company to wipe me if I have an accident.

Hello , I have a question that i'm hoping you guys can help with. I have a U.S. made FZJ 80, I want to convert to part time. However I want to use Aisin hubs. The problem is my rig is a 96'. The U.S. models went to a longer Birfield in 94' - 1997. some people have spaced the hub body out. Not sure I want to go that route. Anyone know an application that would work? Thanks Will

silver horse, in the free wheeling hub kits you get a spacer already for the 94' on models. There has been no problems with them at all.

We'll I was trying to avoid the Warn and AVM hubs that come with those kits, not really a fan of either.

So use aisin with the spacers then??? Their just like a 6-7mm washer. I have heard of guys grinding down the ends of their axles to fit them.
