Re: Different ratio diffs on the same truck

best option by far is getting the rear IRS subassy from NM or later IRS pajeros. They are 9.5" ring gears and have BIG 34spline axles and huge cvs (well they are strong enough for the DRIVE end of a pajero ). AFAIK they are pretty cheap from the wreckers ~$1k'ish complete. If you are lucky enough ...

Re: 8 inch Toyota diffs

They are really hard to find anywhere apart from the US. Are you blowing diffs regularly? Are they setup properly? The problem is 99.999% of guys and diff shops don't know how to set one up!

Re: safari flex arm

To throw an idea out there although it probably already been tried and has a reason for being at it is.. but what about changing the inboard end of the radius arms to an eye type mount rather than pin? Obviously would only work with the appropriate drop box for it to bolt too. done! a Comp version ...
