Other than a diff, what parts are needed to do the swap over to a solid front axle.
Any help really appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi, I have been offered a 1987 hilux surf cheap. it's an import with 2.4 TD, manual with power steer, and idependant front suspension. I've been told it's a bit of a pig and would make a good project.

Are you planning on using leaves or coils?
Personally I would reckomend leaves. I been from leaves to coils back to leaves. I couldnt get the coils to give me the flex I wanted and still support the motor. However I know a couple of guys with SAS and coils and those trucks flex nicely.
Personally I would also stay away from a 3 link set up with coils too.
Go for the leaves. They are easy and cheap. Put a set of rears up the front.
