Re: prado/surf SAS 4" lift custom radius arms

80 series radius arms are almost identical shape to prado 1s but definitely a stronger unit. I have a photo somewhere showing the 2 overlaid. From memory the 80's r about 5-10mm longer with a slightly steeper?? caster angle if used on prado mounts.

Re: Kzj78 factory rear diff locker problems

I've had my magnets fall off before and also had the gears seize together with rust. Both very easy issues to fix, just take them apart, fix problem, relube and put it back together wih some new seals if needed.

Re: Is this KZJ78 a good buy or way too expensive?

Definitely sounds like a rip off mate. Should be able to pick one of them up for under $10k With that many kms and in reasonable nic. However they r hard to find with an elocker for the right price. But like mentioned above u could always get a cheap one with open diff and put and Arb in

Re: Prado 70 series E locker axles, Question

I did a whole rear end swap as I picked one up cheap so unbolted the radius arms and drive shaft and swapped in the whole diff. Over the years i have changed the axle sub assemblies (hub, axle, brake ect) between the locker one and open ones for different reasons. Never noticed any differences or ha...

Re: Prado 4 inch lift springs wanted, or part numbers.

Currently running 80 series fronts in the rear and 195Lb front springs, Nice and flexy but the rears especially are too soft. Front is bordering on too soft with the winch and barwork too, but not as bad as the rear. With all our camping gear they sag a good 50+mm and off road I get a decent amount...
