IDEA: bundera diffs into rocky

Post by Spartacus »

heres the thought:

installing bundera diffs into an f75 rocky.

however
im unsure on leaf or coils.

With the leaf springs will i be able to weld the old mounts onto them :?:
i can only guess this would be easiest option.

compared to making links, rods and trak bars.

id like to now if im full if crap or whether it can be done.

Grab a tape measure and find an old bundy. Measure up your frame and the bundy's and compare the mounting points for coils, links etc.

May turn out to be a very easy transfer of the whole coil setup into your Rocky :D The bundy coil setup isn't crash hot but its ok.

Are Bundera rear diff's in the centre or offset?

Why not just go with Hilux Axles, they would be more readily available. They offer a wheel track slightly narrower then that of the wide track Rockys so sticking genuine wide track flares on would be an option to cover the wheels, you could then update the front grill etc. to complete the look aswell if you wanted to.

Also i wouldn't go reusing old mounts cut off the Rocky axles, would be to much stuffing around in comparison of just making new ones.

Exactly.

I can imagine that being a leaf sprung axle, it would be easier to swap over with less fabrication required. :?
Dont expect mere proof to sway my opinion.

I would go the Hilux route too.
But i've seen quite a few Rockys here on Bundy coil front setup but for simplicity they retained the rears leafs.
My RIG sucks big time.

from lookin around ive found coil bunderas are offset to the right.
however i found many hiluxs that were centered an none that were offset.

what model hilux's are offset to the right :?:

I think all Hilux rear diff housing are centered in the centre as the 107, 108 still retain the same rear axle as the older gen.
Well my Hilux 106 is in the center.

the reason i dont go hilux is cause daihatsu are offset.

will changing diffs with different grearing screw anythin up in the
driveline :?:

righty im measuring up some axles of a bundy to see if they
match the offset set by daihatsu. ill be back with some info later on

Hey Champ (must be with a name like that!)

I did measure up the dimensions of my Bundera diffs for antt at one stage! (Widths, arm lenghts etc) The were only rough but gave a bit of an idea. Maybe he might still have a copy floating around somewhere??

Cheers
