hey got a quick question for all you toyota nuts, i got a range rover with toyota hilux diff centres in it and was wondering if the front high pinion diff is interchangeable with the rear h/p diff can u swap them around front to back?

there is no rear H/P diff
yes front to rear swap ability for low and high pinon diffs
heard the factory electric lockers need a modification to the housing

oh ok, sorry you are right the rear is a low pinion diff and the front is high pinion, so i would be ok to swap my LSD rear to the front and weld up the rear?
do many people weld up toyota diffs?...im pretty cheap and iv owned a locked front and rear patrol - weleded. and never broke anything
is this a good idea in the rear? or am i going to break somthing, im using jac mac axles which are basically unbreakable....weak point would be the centre i think

What are you going to do with the tie rod if you fit a low pinion centre into the front?
