Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I want to increase my rear diff track by 3â€

Possibly, but it will be illegal. Cannot increase your track by that much.

I would never do it that way,were abouts you at i`ll have a IFS rear housing,IFS rear leafs and a flip kit for sale soon

I've got a rear IFS housing you can have for $150 plus postage.
It's brand new,well 10,000km old

In QLD 50mm on a solid axle, this refers to overall track width so if I run a low offset rim onroad I am within the 50mm and run my crusier rims offroad.

I would never do it that way,

Widening or shortening the diff housing if done properly is safe with no loss in strength.

were abouts you

Gold Coast.
I'm not planning to do it for a few weeks so if I can find a IFS rear diff at the right price I will go that way, if not I will extend the 84 housing I have.

That what Toyota did too.

I think ur early hilux rear diff has smaller drums than the later diffs. So if you extend your diff housing to fit the IFS rear axles you will need to either machine out centre hole in your drums or buy complete drum/ shoes/ backing plate setup off later model. Or fit discs.

You will also need longer handbrake cable.

I was thinking of getting the IFS axles with the backing plate and drum and hoping the whole lot would just bolt up.

Didn't even think about that, thanks.

Call Gold Coast 4wd Wreckers and Speak to Nick. Tell him you were directed to speak to him by another member of this Web Site and he should be able to do a much better price than $450.

He may even reply to this thread as he is a member of this site.

I paid $230 bucks all up for my IFS rear housing, got the housing from Gold Coast 4x4 and the axles/brakes from ABC oxley

this was 2 yrs ago

Call Gold Coast 4wd Wreckers and Speak to Nick.

That price was from Terri at Gold Coast 4wd for a complete drum to drum less centre. I always tend to get parts from them first as there handy. When I get closer to doing it I will give a call and try to neg a better price.

Just a quick update, finally got the time to extended the diff. Worked a treat. The IFS axles fit the older flange and orig outer seals were used. All up cost $110 to wide track the rear. Just need to do the front now.
