anyone got any ideas as to how i can put hilux diffs underneath my rig, the diffs have got an 80mm wider track, and i cant outboard the spring mounts due to qld transport, and i cant inboard the spring perches cause of the diff pumpkin
all i can even remotely think of is maybe slight wedges underneath the spring pack tilting inwards and orbital eyes in the hangers????????????
anyone got any ideas?????

I have done a similar conversion but with landcruiser stuff...running the narrow track up front for better articulation...anyway you can cut into the diff housing where the pumkin is closest and set the spring seat into it.
So instead oh having a curved side on the pumkin it has a step cut into it where the spring will sit.
Good luck.

nah well i was never going to, but i got bored at work last thursday and rang transport just for the hell of it, and they couldnt have been more positive, so i figure why not, saves hiring a car trailer everytime i wanna go bush, got an engineer coming round on monday to have a look and get it all in writing,
so how exaxtly did you cut into the pumpkin???
you wouldnt happen to have photo's would you????
more info???????

Use Bundera diffs and convert to coils? If DOT will approve wider diffs then where the coils go would be up to you surely.
