The guys have been having some trouble with YouTube, try searching on Vimeo I know some of the vids are available there.

The torque setting for my JRC beadlocks states 22nm

Why would I want to pull my front diff out every time I change the oil? If excess sediment is found while doing an oil change ( which you may not see draining through a 6 mm hole) then I will go to all the effort of removing the front diff, in the mean time I'll stick to keeping my magnetic drain ...

I had my diff shaved by Jono at JRC, he relocated the drain plug off to the side.

Have a chat to Henry at Auckland Cams.
He's very knowledgeable and an off-roader and to top it off he's a suzuki nut!

I know you are keen on facts - the A440 provides engine braking with the shifter in the 2 and L positions, I know this because of 1) all the research I did when I electronically manualised it and 2) I sure as #### didn't freewheel at great speed down every hill when I took my old Surf offroad. But ...

Taupo 1000 is now to be held in Tokaroa and known as the NZ 1000.

to answer your other question, your G series diff will bolt straight in (or G series locker to existing diff)
for some reason toyota changed the diff code (G to A) not the actual diff.

I also run standard water pump and have zero issues.
Nearly all the trucks mudtroll and I wheel with have rear radiators ( probably 10 trucks) I think only one has an aftermarket pump.

I did mine myself, have a look on youtube for the hose in a bucket system.
It was very easy to do and saved heaps (money to spend on improvements instead of maintenance)

Wait, were they for a 1kz?...i could use those

Not uncommon, usually one of the vacuum solinoids on the inner guard by the air filter.
Try bypassing the blue solinoid (pretty sure that's the in one)
Push the 4wd button and send vacuum to the line from the blue soliniod where it goes toward the front diff.

That tanks far to shiny, best you go rub some mud on it

It was made by Jono at JRC (Jono's Race Craft)

there is a difference between flow and pressure, If you blew oil seals from too much pressure your drain back wasn't big enough. If it's pushing the shaft into the housing then your spindle and bearing's have too much play or not assembled correctly as it would do this anyway when the turbo spools ...

Is the LSd working right on the v8 lux?, on the uphill winch piece it didn't seem to be engaging.
however it appeared it didn't slow him too much!

He doesn't have an LSD, The air locker is broken so running a temporary open diff.
But your right it doesn't slow him down much!

suzolla

He's definitely not firing on all cylinders thats for sure

Maybe the're still there

got a feeling the surf ones are different due to the suspension mounts, but not 100% on that. I do have one here from the same model as yours only a petrol, not sure if it would be a straight swap or not. If your interested at all let me know and i can take some pics to compare.
