Bundera is the same size "diff" as a hilux...

What did u blow? axle, CW&P, hemisphere... Hilux rear's are normally pretty strong and should take 35's...

Plenty of people run Hilux axles in comp rigs with larger than 35's... RUFF - 36" TSL's, POS - 38" claws, Guts - 36" TSL's etc etc...


Probably best to run stronger axles and an air locker... or start looking at axle swaps if your real keen...
Cheers,
Dan.

Search for a 4 pinion centre and start from there, locker, a diff gear change (4.88's or more) and have it set up by a good diff shop.
What has let go with yours ?
The Hilux diff can be made to handle good power but I've managed to destroy a few in mine as well :twisted: . It all depends on how you apply the right foot :D
I'm thinking of slotting in a ford 9" to the rear of mine though as its about to get an extra 4 cylinders in the front :armsup:
Cheers

Run an ARB then all you will blow is the crown wheel and or pinion from time to time. :D
