Outer Limits 4x4 Board

can this be done or is it a real pain? custom double carden front and rear shafts are pricey. is this a cheaper option? i.e. replacing sierra shafts with modified double carden hilux drive shafts.

i need extra length because of yj spring conversion

i presume ur springover?, u just need a standard hilux shaft on the front, and a double cardan on the rear. the spigots or the yokes might need working depending on the year of the shafts, i just slotted the holes in my yokes to fit the sierra flanges.

any particular year good to use?

interested in this myself...

So its hilux rear shaft up front, and wont the suzi front shaft work in the rear? or am i confused? i think im confused.

ur confused...

Hilux rear shaft in the front of a sierra,
hilux front shaft (double cardin) in the rear.

I have done this in my 92 wide track, the bolt patern is identical
But the locating spigot on the toyota flange is 1mm (from memory) larger than the suzuki, I had the toyota flages turned down as they will last longer than the suzuki parts that they bolt to
Mine was a bit tricky as I have a t/case mounted hand brake with a smaller bolt patern so I made an adapter plate that goes between the toyota flange and the suzuki drum

Mine were off a late(ish) solid axle model with vented discs, not sure of the year, but early lux's had solid discs not vented.
I know this only confuses the issue, sorry.

the shafts i used were the same spigot as the sierra ones, i just had to open up the holes a bit to fit

Droopy pete if your still on here have you got a drawing for the adapter you made for the toyo driveshaft to handbrake drum?

After many months of outerlimits anonymous, I was able to leave my keyboard and go outside (wow it was bright out there)

No I don't have a drawing.

He's alive ...

I used hilux shafts and got then re worked by my local driveline place. They work the treat and heaps stronger.
