My 70series cruiser

[cruzerboy]

Well it was pritty much standed when i got it apart from bullbar and snorkel
Then i put 50mm lifted springs and 50mm body lift and put 35s on it




then it went down hill from there put a winch and a rear lokka in it then did a shakel revesel so i could move the diff ford went up worslys and stacked it at 11oclook at nightlol the i thoght it would be a good idear too do a SOA and make it higher




then i farked around with the springs a bit too get it too flex a bit better and lower it a bit




then i put a set of 37s on it and tryed too roll it again




then i blew the lokka too bits so i decided too change evry thing again. Make it stronger and wider so im putting nissan safarifront diff with coils under it and 80series landcruiser diff with the leefs inthe rear and this is how it sits





this is how its been sitting for the last 2 months ill finsh it one day doesnt help that i bort another toy and been working on that

Loving the flex from SOA etc... Any reason you decided Safari Diff with coils upfront and 80 Series with leaves in the rear?

[badnuz]

the nissan diff has a lower profile???

I couldnt find a 80 diff for the front and i got the safari one cheap and it stronger than the toyota one.Im leven it leefs in the back cos it flexs good in the back so dont wana change what already works and im thinking of putting drop skackels in the rear.have 2 coil front cos the srings too close together and would be on top of diff head and i was having problems with the springs hitting the tierod so i decide coils will solve the problem

[cruzerboy]

Except for the front diff, that just wrong

Lol Better then the other idear i had ive got anouther 70s body thats stright as was going 2 try and get safari that had a farked body and put the 70 body on it but i couldnt bring myself 2 do it

[Bubba]

Thats one way to improve a nissian I guess lol

Do you find the diff covered in oil and crap, from when the rest of the Toyota parts spit on it?

Whats it like having a wider front than the back, do you even notice the difference. Does it make a difference on the trail with rutts etc. Are you planning on countering it with spacers in the rear?

[cruzerboy]

lol yea i think its already rejecting the datsun parts cos the steering box has started leeking wasnt before it went in.Havent had it out those pic are how it sits at the mo in the pics it dosent have the new rear diff in it should be the same front and rear when the 80 diff is in the rear its about 20mm wider than the nisan one

[basics]

dam i miss my 70
looks awsome, safari diffs is all good in my books, width is a good thing if you going higher

[H2OLOVA]

[cruzerboy]

[cruzerboy]

since i havent been working for 2weeks now got a bit done to it got the 80series diff it the rear now and move it back 3inchs. put the wheels back on yesterday to see what it looks like.









just needs the rear gards choped shock mounts steering and brakes and a few other little things. also got a PTO winch for it now and scored a air ram from work so i can air freespoll it

[basics]

after the chop thats gona look so good

[cruzerboy]

did a gard chop yesterday

[350cruiser]

you will enjoy the extra width with these diffs. my bj73 has 80 series diffs and suspension in it with 36'' simexs on it. great on the side of a hill. are you changing the brake booster and master cylinder from an 80 to match the rest of the brakes? if so get them from a pre 93 80 series as they bolt up with just a little loving to the brake lines to the master cylinder. unless the diffs are after 93(bigger brakes)

[cruzerboy]

yea should be good its 300mm wider than it was. haven got as far as the brakes yet but that sounds like itd be the go cheers

[350cruiser]

oh you will also need the 80 series brake pedal as well. with the pedal you will need to bend it towards the drivers seat(many many cuts down the spine and reweld) the 70 pedal doesnt fit as well from memory.

[cruzerboy]

It moves under its own power now





got flex

[cruzerboy]

got sick of the leafs in the rear so ive coiled the rear now went with triangulated 4link with standed ln130 surf springs this is how it turned out











also got a ARB airlocker for the front and a tight lsd for the rear and 4.88 R&Ps

[You Get That]

Man i love what you are doing good job
It looks nice with the coils now.

[basics]

this is still my favourite build up

[cruzerboy]
