Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok so ive got the transfer case part ordered. But didnt want to run avm so i bought some aisins off a hilux. Put them in today so it wont take as long next time an the missus is away today so wont have to put up with the "you spend so much time fixing your 4by..."
Seems that when in free mode i have to have the center diff lock button in to get the tyres moving.
Question is, is this ok or will it do any damage to the axle, diff, hubs...etc?

And yes i searched but couldnt find anything on this only can i just do hubs with most reply to bet transfer case part,


Any help would be great, Cheers

as long as the hubs are unlocked. it wont hurt it at all,

it will be just like having the std end plates on, u can use it off road fine, but onroad it will wind up the drive line and go BANG

What model of hilux did they come from? And how much did they set you back? Im keen to do the same

watch out asins are not a direct bolt on to all 80 series
the cv splines can be too long causing the circlip not to fit against the hub gear causing the whole cv to slide inward

Ive got a 93 model, lucky as 94 was the year this took affect, can get spacers if thats the case for others.

yeah spacers are not a good option they dont allow the dowel pins to engage into the hub correctly
the spacer is just another thing to work loose in an already weak set up
best to shorten the cvs

who sells the spacers, had a search to no avail???

Marks supply them with their kits. I also know 100 axles are different but not sure their hubs will bolt straight on.

i tried to fit my longs (same length as the later cv's) and my aisin hubs wouldnt fit.. spacers wont help either as the end of the cv hits the inside of the "lid" of the hub.... had to shorten the cv....

easy as piss, did it with and angle grinder an also put a new groove around the end of the shaft with the grinder..

oh, BTW I have a set of spacers in the shed if u would like them
