Hilux diff breakage under a sierra....

[hypo]

Hey there, im just interested in how many of u guys running hilux diffs under yer zooks, have broken a rear diff centre ? if so details on the situation it broke in, and also wot specs yer rig is, tyres,suspension,engine,gear reduction.

the reason i am interested is i plan on making a hybrid rear diff 4 my zook, it will b a hilux centre, with 80 series cruiser full floating axles and disks, the reason i plan on doing this is to keeo good ground clearance, and also have an offset rear diff centre to maintain good driveline angles for the zook tcase.

i think that the hilux rear centre will hold up under the zook quite well, its only going to run 37-38" tyres, 1.3 or maybe 1.6 later, either engine maybe turboed or supercharged, 6.4 tcase gears and 4.88 diff ratios, so from my point of veiw it should work....

84 spoa welded front and back 33 jt2s s3 r/hoppers 1ltr soon to be 4k auto 3/4 spoa in rear no dramas so far drive alot of rock seem to be holding up ok[diff ratios 4.56]

i mean i know its not gunna b unbreakble, everything breaks eventually..

ROCBOX, i didnt know u ran toys under yours

yeh swapedd over a while back they work well .i shifted my t case 40 mm left took almost all the vibes out its really good now doesnt even vibrate as much as it did with zook diifs

im starting to put my toys in at the moment but rhett has been running them for a bit he runs welded f/r 48s on 35 claws s3 rockhopper and broken to cvs thats all no other problems so far

You know my junk 3 or 4 sessions and no diff carnage

So they are holding up to 38s..........we'll see how they hold to to 39s soon enough

cool, i think with the weight of the zook that it will cope. just want a few ideas and opinions from other people

i have a LWB, with a Bundeera rear diff,36s' & airlockers. Its only done 3 trips, but holding up well so far. The offset bundy pumpkin is ever so slightly off to the right, a couple of mm, nothing really,but almost inline with standard. Im told the bundies later on changed centre sizes, but the one in mine is the same as a hilux. The amount of vibration on the xfer stick is almost unnoticeable. This is the same at any speed. hope this helps.
