Don't take a 90 series into any sort of 4wd environment. :mrgreen:
But they don't have a 2 stage transfer, they are exactly as pointed out above, H-L = high range centre diff locked.

Re: Checkerheads new project.

Re the strength thing of the bar. Is it worth thinking about/looking at a profile cut flat plate bar out of something like 10-12mm bisalloy? Have no idea of it's structural properties etc, but it may be another option.

Re: Checkerheads new project.

You want your AS numbers to be set so you achieve good drive down on the front axle. All the other stuff will seem really unimportant when your nose is coming over your roof on the first good hill climb. I would probably look at making upper links out to 75%ish in your case. But ultimately, the call...

Re: Checkerheads new project.

Looks good fella (well you know what I mean :wink: ). Don't solid mount a rad onto anything that has the potential to have torsional twist or shear (ie your roll cage), especially if it is alloy. They like to have lots of isolation and don't like to twist in any way, shape or form. (ask me how I kno...

Re: can i do this with my hilux SAS?

The major advantage of coil overs is that they are contained in one unit and as such it makes it much easier to fit everything in. They are hellishly more expensive to set up how ever. Did you build in upper link adjustment on the rears so you can tune things if needed? and did you run it through th...

Re: can i do this with my hilux SAS?

Not the front so much, it is more to with the rears. It's all about the dynamics of how the rear driving wheels affect the whole suspension geometry.

Re: can i do this with my hilux SAS?

As a reply to above, Anti squat is normally governed (do not read as always) by the separation of the REAR links at the chassis end. Control arm length plays a large part in the design as well. An example of a very bad factory setup is the SWB patrol when you start lifting and putting decent rubber ...
