ln130 coil beam axle front diff swap !
hi guys im just doing a beam axle swap on my 4 runner ( 2.8 nz new modle surf )
ive brought a lj78 front cut chassis off trademe only issue is its in blenim of all places ! and im in wellington ... any one that can hook me up and drag accross the coo straight will be a legend !
so at the moment i have a blown cv and a broken diff mount and am going to be selling all the 4.3 set up the diffrence is 4 runner diff isnt vacuum operated so there for isnt prone to being weak in the selector fork
my truck curently sits a little low in the front due to having a lift in the rear and wound tortions but still low so there for with this mod ill be killing a fair few birds with one stone

Re: ln130 coil beam axle front diff swap !
Yep keep at it Greg, I've been following it on FB, it will be a weapon off road with the live axle front.
Love it how you reinforced the frame.
Also I didn't realise those Prado trailing arms terminate at a conventional link type bushing. Cool.
Someone should link some of the pics over.
Top quality work

Do you mean front or rear shocks? I assume front?
For the fronts from memory you will need Pin at the bottom, eye at the top? If so then Y60 won't work, they are pin at the top. Though you could mod your towers to run pin/pin shocks which is what I did, (y60 are pin/pin I think).
If you did mean rear shocks for the surf, I used 80 series rears. Eye at the bottom, pin at the top.
Hope that helps.
P.S choice work bro.

Hey good to see another SAS in a Surf. Just 1 little question, in the above photo are you working on your truck jacked up by a hilift and 2 bottle jacks stacked up or am I seeing things?

You're just seeing things that aren't there, like fat women with G-Strings and orange hair.
