I made a set of these blocks etc on the cnc router at work for my dad's new (previous model) ifs v6 hilux and he couldn't fit them dacause of an different diff mounting setup.

Can you explain why they didn't fit? which mounting point is different?
A mate has got a kit sitting there ready to install into his 2004 V6 Extra Cab hilux, which I thought was the same setup front as my 4Runner?? by the sounds of what your saying, it aint going to fit?
and I don't think you'll have many dramas selling the spaces, I've had a phew people asking me where to get them from, but the guy I got mine off doesn't make them anymore.

Nah mate, haven't fitted it yet.....thats what I'm asking roc70y about....a mate has a kit for his 04 IFS V6, but we haven't got around to fitting it yet, and the way I'm understanding what he is saying, it might not fit??

i will have a look and find out tommorow.
i think there are extra mounts for the diff centre on the newer ones. Might need extra spacers to be made.

oh ok.....so the actaul ball joint spacers can be installed....but the diff cant be dropped to allow flatter CV angles?
