What are the strongest Patrol diffs ?

37 spline H260B leaf sprung GQ and GU ute rears also i think some GU wagons had this, might be the 2.8 turbo but dont quote me, most GUs have a small diff, one i saw the other day was

oh yeah, you can get a right side drop (same as cruiser) H260B (the big mama) out of a MQ ute, and slip that in, most patrols are centred rear

the offset one matches your t-case

But they are narrow little fellas.

GU H233 front is the good'un too.

they are a similar width to where he is now, but you could just run 4" spacers, it has the beef

or lengthen the wheelbase and run the centred one which can give 4 to 8 inches of width, depending on what you get it from

how far off centre are the toyo t-cases?

i dont want to fit them to the cruiser, i just want to know which are the beefiest for a story, thanks for the info.

isn't the rear G60 diff the equivalent of a dana 70 ?

pffft that was written in the magazine on zeke stegalls truck, they are salisbury type too? i think it should have read:

hogs an equal amount of ground clearance as a D70

despite that they are quite big....and D70s come in a range of sizes, including a light and a heavy duty which one is it the equivalent of?

yeah the G60 rear is a massive fawker, and is salisbury type. But I wouldn't bother unless an eternal quest for parts excites you.

zeke's truck was up for sale late last year, anyone know if he sold it ?

40/60/75 split cases are around 8 inches

80 series and 100 series is around 4

bahahahaha

better off with a 14bolt, or something, maybe evena cruiser axle!

yeah H260 floater or 80 series or something.. The g60 ones are good, but you can't get parts and the drums are from the flintstones era of efficency..

yeah the g60 is big and heavy, not to mention old and agricultural, and despit the axles being large they didnt have the materials and treatment and alloys they have access to today, which is why rockwells despite thier size, are weaker than alloy D60s!

id get an H260 Floater if i was a nissan man, or a 100 series floater if i was a toyota man!

i actually spent a couple of hours with a truck importer and wrecker last week, picking his brain about rockwell, mogs and volvos. he has a yard in germany the size of a football field, full of diffs. he can land whatever you want here is aus, the pricing was reasonable also, however, the amount of mods you would have to perform to get them to work under your truck is another story altogether. i heard that chris nolan has some volvos due under his 40 series in the near future, anyone know how thats going ?

Yeah guess who's getting them for Chris?

h260b comes on 3.0 TD GU manuals in a 4.375

h233b front with bigger _almost_ unbreakable CV's

Dont know about the older models but the new 100's have a semi floater in them. Toyota has dumped the full floating

Well you arent going to go putting mogs or volvos or rockwells under stock rig so a few more mods isnt going to hurt!

Says he who has made a high clearance cover and is planning disk brakes, chassis notching and a refabbed housing! Too much work involved there. :(

yeah, well i certainly wouldnt be buying a brand enw hundred series just for the rear diff

and for the record, i beleive the diff to still be full floating, until i see otherwise with my own eyes, i saw a 2001 pov pack, full floater the other day

All IFS have semi-floating, only as you say, "pov pack" live axle model has the full-floater now.

how much for mog 404 steerings each? landed and hosed?

also i would imagine they dont just bolt right in huh?

What i was saying was if you are looking at getting mogs, volvos or rockwells you would have a fairly modified rig already so it wouldnt be difficult to put them in.

What is so hard about fitting them?

Have a look at elf cruisers rig on pirate it was just on leaf springs, whats hard about that?

What about those volvo diffed land rovers in malaysia? They are just on leaf springs too. Nothing complicated there!

I am only doing all those things because i want to, you dont have to!

Point taken. It's as easy or as hard as you like. But Volvos are good for lazy/poor people like me.

most IFS ones i see have mags and centre caps, so i guess i'll never get to see one :(
