Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My bad in another thread. Any info on MQ diffs into a WT Zook would be much appreciated.

Toos

I've got them in my Zook, it was originally NT, moved hangers out and easy.

Word of advice, shave them before you put them in, weld on rock guards before you put them in and rebuild them before you put them in.

LJEXTREME also has them in his zook buggy.

Stronger than Hilux shiat

what is involved in shaving a diff and who does it

did use chose mk diffs because of the offset?
what ratios n lockers etc... are available

considering mk or 60 series diff swap for me daihatsu rocky

Im considering 75 series Landcruiser diffs as their only 2" each side wider than the widetrack diffs in my Maruti.

correct me if im wrong but i think that is hard too find lockers for these diffs also you guys go on about clearance isues what it the clearance difference between mk-mq compared too 60s?
Whats the width on these babys?

I'd agree it's too hard to find lockers for MQ diffs second hand, but really anyone selling 2nd hand lockers is selling them cause they are fucked.

Not that it's any easier to find used hilux lockers - no one who has them sells them.

$700 brand new from ARB gets you an air locker, it's money well spent if you are building the rig to keep for a while.

But then you lose clearance, there heavy blah blah hehhehehe

Oh and 700 for an air locker....where????

what ratio mq diff should ya use for the conversion? only gonna run 31s but might go 33 in the future. still want it to do 100km/h on the fwy

Lockers! you can get air lockers, and lockrites,
or you can weld them of course, what other lockers are there.

The front diff bolts straight upto wide track spring spacing, spring under, and the pumpkin is a bit more offset, so u have no problems with sump clerance.
Most MQ/MK diffs are 4.6 ratio, and the width of the diff end to end from memory was about 20mm wider than vitara rear.
the rear is offset almost too much, but helps with clerance, and u can shave a heap off. U do have to move the rear spring pads though.
GQ size CV's and breaks, bigger than GQ tie rod, draglink and rod ends.

and u can get thm from pick appart for between $130 and $170 an end

I widend my front diff to make the fixed spring pad work in narrow trac position.

some pics 4 UZ

more

Are there any other ratios avail?

Hehehe, when you take the photo from that angle the difference appears HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE



















Which it is..........

Wow the rear is heaps offset.....

Thanks for the info and pics I'll have to check it out properly on the weekend.

i guess a plus for running these diffs is having 4.6 gear ratios

WTF

Mock

I cant remember, but from memory they are about 20mm wider than a vitara rear.

Ill check when I get a chance

Mock

does the driveshaft still run reasonably straight?

my rocky will still be D/D and averages 100Km/h on highways

Not too strait , but allot straiter than if it ran to the centre

Mock

I think it comes down to whatever (bigger) diffs you can get at the best price...

You can get a shaged MQ complete, for under a grand
Sounds like the right price to me

Mock

the MQ donor that i used was about $600.

Kept the diffs, brake booster (you will need this), driveshafts, washer bottle, clutch cylinder, driving lights and sold the rest for $150 to the wreckers.

tight arse


Mock

That's the thing, you won't get Toy wrecks that cheap.

Sounds like a good option.

Can you get strengthened CV's for them?
