Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok...

After many years, and several vehicles....I have left Land Rover land...no more Patrol....and for the first time have joined the Toyo land.

With the new GU next year I think we are seeing the end of live axle non-commercial vehicles....so I have bought this with the aim to last up to ten yrs +.

Am fitting a Denco turbo, lift, lockers and 33s....with a plan for reliable tourer capable of hard off-road, daily driving and reliability (regular trips to Cape York etc)

So.....yes I have searched and read about boost not above 12psi, fitting pyro.....but Toyota OL Brains Trust --- what other points should I know to help with long life? Changes or driveline modification?

Basically I am a noob on Toyota and looking for a few bits of OL tips and of course some flaming I'm sure

Thanks

Buy a factory TD 80 series, all the short comings of the 105 are solved

Great ..... thanks MJ

Nah had to be 105 or 4.2 Patrol....and people want insane money for Patrols

assuming your talking about a 1HZ? More info required.... KM's traveled, current status, budget, mechanical ability etc...

1HZ. KM travelled? You mean now, or what I am going to do? It has 100k, I do about 20k a year. Budget meh...not ultra tight, but not throwing cash around like a miner

Mechanical ability...I'm not doing much.....let's be honest

Fit a air locker and solid pinion spacer in the front diff, its a bit of a weakness, so too is the manual gear box behind the 1HZ in the 105s
Otherwise, its a Toyota! What can possibly go wrong?

Cheers mate.

Am fitting an ARB front locker - is the solid pinion spacer a standard upgrade, or should I specify?

I thought you were fitting a DTS turbo not a denco?

Head to head stats would be interesting

Sorry. Correct. DTS Mitsubushi

What are you doing reading Toyota

No you would need to request a solid pinion spacer, I'm not sure ARB would be able to help with that or not as they need to be custom made too suit individual diffs.

The 105s diffs have collapsable pinion spacers as standard. They can collapse more with hard use.

Id probably fit the locker in the rear because the rear end gets heavy once loaded up and the standard lsd isn't all that good to start with, plus steering wont be a strong point with the locker up front. I love my 105 best 4wd by far

Jono, the Locker up front is to make the diff carrier stronger, so there is less flexing of the crownwheel (ring gear, whatever your preference), coupled with the solid pinion spacer, it takes most the potential for slop out of the gear setup, and therefore making the weak link of the 8 inch reverse cut diff a little less weak

Also the ARB locker its a 4 pinion carrier, I think the std centre has a two pinion carrier

I think they setup the front diff with more backlash than the rear. I don't think this helps the little 8 inch center.

I thought it would be a 4 pin carrier same as a later model rear luxes. I could be wrong. They are stronger in forwards then reverse so don't give it too much curry going backwards.
