WTB Crusier 80 Series front diff, 4.1 ratio high pinion

Pulled my axles to fit Speedi sleeves and have notices the splines into the diff are pretty worn so need a couple of front axles if anyone has any in good condition.

Truck is a 91 GX Diesel.

Re: Lift Law Changes -Where are things at now?

The sole reason with which I make reference to the heavy transport industry is that their chassis (and engine in many cases) is at approximately the same height as a passanger cars windscreen. I mention this because supposedly one of the concerns with lifted 4x4s is that it can raise the chassis to...

Re: Lift Law Changes -Where are things at now?

With regard to the safety issue of the lifted vehicles chassis being at windscreen height, give me a break. Can any body say Kenworth? Mack? Scania? There are more of these "extra risk vehicles" on the road than there ever will be of our lifted recreational vehicles. It's hard to believe ...

Re: cracked chassis on 80 series

There is an approved repair method for this, having trouble finding the copy I have access to (my work produced the repair procedure many years ago). Speak to Howat Engineering, they have done a few including my truck. They may be able to send you the reinforcement plates for you to fit.

Ive got a SWB body in Warkworth, no rust, inner guards / front clip has been removed from firewall forward as I intended to tube frame the front. Still have the front clip if it was wanted, no reason why it couldn't be re-fitted. $250 would take the whole body.

Re: Chassis Crossmember Rust

If you can get in there with an air chisel or air hacksaw with a short blade and get as much out as you can.

Rust treat it and close up the heave.

This is really common on jap import trucks (actual trucks not 4wds) with flitched chassis and is general practice to clean, treat and close.
