Outer Limits 4x4 Board

for all that this may concern 60 series diffs fit straight under the front and the rear of a rocky.....the driveshafts however are different.

Evan

This is interesting, can you post up more info and pics??

i love the fact that both MQ's and 60 diffs fit under nicely...

face it rocky's where built to take other car's parts

have to move rear mounts on MQ/Mk in about 50 mm per side

woops

ok well i thought id put up some pics of the front diff mounted in place... i need to save the dosh for the rear as im just gonna coil it. the front is just sitting there, i need to put on my bubs crossmember and extended shackles on hilux rears (same length and pin offset as rocky front but rocky bushes are shit and i dont want to have to press out bushes every time i wear them out)

more pics will come as more stuff is done

Evan

looking good ev....so which is wider? The 60 diffs or the MQ's?

MQs by like 15mm..... but 60s fit front AND rear

Arnt 60's diff spua looks as tho u have them Spoa so would they bolt straigh into a rocky?? without modding?? btw its looking tuff as evan on 31's

yeah they actually fit SUA, i am fitting the front SOA using the original u bolt plate thing they have, and putting some extra support on it just incase. the rear is getting coiled when the cash maney is right.

k so if both MK/MQ and 60's diffs are an easy conversion what are some of the pros and cons for eith diff conversion?

1# price and availability - my guess would be MQ for being cheep and being available just about everywhere.

2# ease of installation, eg. just fitting under the vehicle - 60's my guess depending on wheather you want spoa or spua

3# requirements for conecting the steering linkages to the wider axles

4# what axles come with better brakes, and/or what extra modifying is required to have the brakes effective. eg. booster & master cylinder conversion

5# diffrence in with from standard rocky axles and between the 2

6# diff centre ratios diffrences

7# after market parts available for these axles from non-gen bearings & seals to lockers and LSD's

Nissan MK/MQ patrol

1# i dunno
2# had to move MQ/MK rear mounts (SUA) inboard
3# have to machine rocky draglink Rod End smaller to fit mk tierod
note havent tried nissan RE in rocky draglink yet
4# slot in GQ booster
5# nissan axles 2" thicker, stronger everything inside n out compared to hatsu
6# same same between yotas n nissan---ask ARB, TJM, whatever tickles ur pickles
7# same as ^^

there was a reason y i got mqs over 60...
something about strength rings a bell but dont qu0te me on that

MQs are cheap and physically larger (axles, CVs etc.) 60s are slightly more expensive and are smaller. the 60 diffs are 15mm narrower drum to drum, they also have larger brakes front and rear. MQs weigh less (dunno how this happens) there are more aftermarket parts available for toyota 60 than for nissan MQ. most MQ standard 4.6 and 60 series are 4.11, ARB stock 4.88 for both. i got the 60 diffs because WILL didnt need em and they have an detroit auto locker in the front. just lucky they fit...... but now im lookin at doin coil all round with 80 series cast arms front and 4 link rear.

good sh*t just thought they were some things needed to help make the decision between patrol & 60's, im soon to do a conversion i will keep yous posted

I now working on my Daihatsu Fourtrack 2,8TD. There will be Nissan H233B diffs and coilsprings front and rear. The rear diff are fitted with Nissan waccum difflock. The tire are BFG MT 35" on 15"x8" rims.

thatll be mad, one of our......aquaintances/mates has done the same thing to a rocky ute. looks awsome and the car works great too.

putting mq diffs under f65 scat with links and coils.

3 link panhard front or cast arms?, 4/5 or a frame rear?

3 link panhard front, 4 link back.
