Ok have heard of people using hilux drive shafts for there zuk out of what model and what lenght are they front or rears also how do you mount them im guessing a adapter plate drilled and tapped to suit both PCDs is this right.

Also for those that have fitted hilux diffs out of what model and what ratios is anyone better than another

Thanks Duncan

Bundera diffs are suposed to be good because of the ofset rear.

Thats all I know, I haven't donw the conversion.

Dude, it depends on where you put your diffs.

If you are going coils then you will most prob be extending the wheelbase.

Once you have them in place just measure and find one to suit or cut to length.

I think ANY SPOA sierra on 35's is going to want more wheelbase.

Agree totally here steve . I think a lot of people don,t seem to think the
Difference in tire size makes that much difference in stability @ a given Track -wheelbase,+ lift.
When i owned the zook , i ran 32s for every thing other then comps,
On a sagged spoa , It was nice and Comfy , While looking for that extra traction in comps we ran the 35s , The difference Is simply chalk and cheese,
There is one perticuler obsticle , called Prado hill when menia was open
I used it as a guage , the car done it in all forms ,spring under on 32s,spoa 32s , spoa 35s. in the low rider form it was super safe and only lifted a front left about a foot, 32s spoa , lifting front left around 2 1/2 ,
with the 35 you had to be very aware if you where to give more throttle than needed it would very likely walk under itself, front wheel scary high.

IMO need about 90+ to make it at 4-5 lift ,
But every one to there own !

Just some thoughts .

hey duncan i think from mid 80s and up have the same pcd as the zook wt flanges, only the spigot is bigger and has to be machined down, this is what i did with mine.

Me too.

Bundy diffs are a little less of a headache as far as drive shaft angles go.

And you will definately want a LWB as the base for the project
