Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok i have done a search for hilux diffs and it has come up with about 400,000 pages of irrelevent threads.
with the hilux diff conversions, wat year model hilux are the best diffs to get? are there much difference in the different year diffs? ratios different? anything? wat are the best ones to go for?
i know its a bit of a stupid ques and all but please help!

afaik widths of the diffs and general construction of them was exactly the same from the first generation (79?) right through to when the IFS diffs came out (97?) which were wider-rear only obviously. Not sure on the differences in ratios but Im sure it changed a bit over the years as there were quite a few different engines both diesel and petrol.

there is also differances in the strength of the front housing as i have noticed that the later front housings longer and stronger strengthening gussets on them

so in saying all that, what would be the best yr hilux diffs get?

first question r u in wa? and what driving u wanna do?, ps u will not get it regoed with those mods here in wa.

they wont rego it over here with hilux diffs?? wats the reason for that???? i thought only queensland had stupid laws!! that means im back to square 1 :@

ok i just did what i shoulda done in the first place and had a look at www.dpi.wa.gov.au and found out why i can have them :(
only alowed a wheel track up to 1" (or 25mm) over manufacture specification. now next ques, is that only if we want to get away without and engineeers report, or is it still possible to go a larger wheel track if passed by engineer?

navara rims are your freinds!

For the fronts I would try to get a set out of the LN/RN 10 X series due to the brakes, for the rear just look for anything 86+ on the narrow tracks and get the larger diameter housing, these will also have larger drums on the rear.

also if ur goin springover its not legall aswell, i got done by the coppers yesterday with my coiled lwb so now i am screwed

Thats bad news

centers out of V6 have stronger centers, more bracing of the third member.

Here in the US we use the 1979-1985 axles. The 84-85 housing are stronger than the earlier models. In 86 the pickup (Hilux) went IFS here. Here is a link at Zuwharrie.com that may help you also:

so can we do any modifications at all over here without being screwed??
seems to be every path i tend to take the zook there is some bs legality behind it

maybe you should try and find out what you can and can't do first and take it from thee.

2 inches in total including tyres is all ur allowed over here.

Fark, not good esp as u were on the selling path. Did they pick the coils or just the height and tyres.

Yeh 2" is it. I am going to a bit over that with the 31s and 2" BL, flat springs. See how i go.
