Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im about to do a hilux diff conversion into my gemini and wanna know if all the modles (80 througth mid 90's) are all basicly the same?? centers bearings axels (depending on length) etc interchangable???

or are the differances?? if so which would be the strongest item to pic? any advantages one may have over the other?? etc..
Cheers

i thought it would have been an easy question for hilux gurus?

what ratio are you planning on running?

The V6 diffs have a bit of extra webbing cast into the housing and have bigger bearings I think.
All use the same axles (apart from different length for IFS models).
Strength depends on ratio (as in all diffs) 4.1s are pretty strong.
You can also get cryo treated crownwheel and pinions from the US as well as Chromoly axles.

im pretty sure diesel diffs are stronger, because i did mine this week, changed diesel ratios to petrol in my 90 lux and the diesel bearings were different.

thanks for the info.

i will be runign 3.9

Iv'e got a set of 3.25's are you interested.

was the center interchangable tho?? just needed bearings to suit??


3.25's wouldnt be suitable thanks for the offer tho

Are you not after speed as these centres would fly.

top speed yes they would be.. off the line and out of corners they wouldnt be suitable

are the 2WD hiluxs use th esame rear diff as the 4x4 versions?

yes. the early 2WD hiluxes had desired diffs for fast cars. what engine you running? search on toymods.net and they will be able to tell you what model diff will suit your application. they are into 2WD toyotas.

sweet as.. im runing a fj20 in a gemini.. aiming for 300hp at the bags..

i will try toy mods. thanks for the tip
