Thanks Jason

Some interesting reading here guys! lol Just doing a build atm and this new law going to affect me a little, just after a bit of clarification. If i have a total lift over 100mm i require cert and have to join a 4wd club, If under 100mm i just require cert? Did i get this rite or wrong? If so dose ...

Yea they do stick out, drivers side is about 10mm wider, so looking at correcting it with adjusty panhard.

source an adjustable one? why? that'll just change other factors like anti squat and pinion angle.. the 4 link will be thru the middle of your tank, yes? just mod the tank.. its only nippin the seam on the back of tank, yeah? Yeah If i used all 4 links it wouldn't work but my theory was that if i ...

and er.... and this pic is where.......?

lol sorry half pie kill it 1st try lol

Pan hard rod. As you have suspension lift/raised the vehicle it pulls the diff over to passengers side. so the top arm sits closer to the tank. when you drop a wheel (extend the suspension) the arm moves closer again to the tank and rubs. A longer pan hard rod that allows the diff to re centre ...

on a coil vehicle, the control arms should be up to task in both strength and placement etc.. the vertical separation between the upper and lower links is the key to providing the anti wrap you've mentioned.. leafs will bend if flexy and under heavy acceleration, hence an anti wrap / traction bar ...

Hey guys interesting thread you got going here, just a question tho, These anti warp bars seem to only on leaf spring setups how come i cant seem to find them for coil setups? reason being is that Ive got a ln130 surf with a suspension lift, but one of my arms on top right of the axle keeps hitting ...

Was having a look around and found that 4wd bits state that the 35's are 34.5' inflated good price 2 $330 per tyre here the link http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/ProductDetails ... ductID=980

Dose any one know if these are actually 35' or smaller as Ive herd that the 33's are actually 32.2' ?

Cheers

It is an internal seal that needs to be swapped over

oh tru thanks

the felt seals are bigger on the Prado, but if yours are still ok, then the hilux kit will be fine. I have fitted a hilux felt seal to the prado axle before, so it can be done in a pinch if needed. Thanks Yea herd somewhere there is a seal that is a hilux seal that has to be replaced when using ifs ...

you can buy a kit for the lj, from bush ranger I think. Its way more than the hilux kit, which sucks cause its only the stuff to do with the knuckle that is different. I believe that all axle seals, bearings etc are the same. Also with regard to your ifs hubs, why not just use a standard solid axle ...

Hi there Got my self a lj78 prado front end and getting it ready for going into my ln131 surf. I was fiddling with it in the weekend and found out that it has already got 30 spline axles from a hilux/ landcruiser that i was stoaked about! 1 less part to get for it . Now I know that i need to run ifs ...

Hey Tim When you put the axle back together do you remember which seals and bearings you used from a hilux and prado. Was going to get a complete seal and bearing kit from bnt but think the hilux stub axles may be bigger in circumference and the bearings may have to be used instead of prado ones ...

Ive noticed with the ifs hub swap that every thread ive seen people have been using landcrusier/ hilux stub axles out of leaf beam axles. Is it possible to use the original prado stub axles? Also im thinking that keeping with the stock ifs steering box mite suit me, will the i have a problem with ...

Thanks. decided to do it once and do it right so going with ifs hubs. have you herd anything bad about superwinch free wheeling hubs? as they seem to be easyer to obtain than aisin's. Well on trademe anyhow.
Thanks

I got the Aisin hubs off trademe, paid $130 from memory, they came out on solid axle hilux, and cruisers, they were also on some IFS surfs etc but they look the same but have less splines so can't be used. The spacer i got from Jafa @ m I'm thinking you're not quite uderstanding the spacer issue ...

Thanks, Cheers
Where did you get the aisin free wheeling hubs from and the spacers? also were the aisin's suited for the ifs or prado?

Engineer wrote:sorry yes to stub axles etc. try and avoid spacers where you can.

thanks much appreciated

Hi There the prado front axle i sourced already has front manual hubs fitted, is there any advantage fitting a ifs hub with 70 series or hilux stub axles? or will purchasing wheel spacers from 4wd accessories to get correct width work? yes itll give the same track as ifs surf. spacing the rotor ...

Hi There

Cheers mite end up picking your brains during the build.

Did you have the 80 series springs in rear before setting up ride height of front axle or were the factory rear springs still in there?
Got myself a prado front end to go into my ln131 surf hopfully it works out as well as it did for you.
