lower gearing needed

toyoverprutser · Post by **toyoverprutser** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 8:22 am

Just fitted 255/85R16 BFg Mud Terrains to my Rocky (Rugger/Fourtrak outside Holland) which seems to work better than the 33x12.5R15's I had previous fitted (No more rubbing and hitting the wheel arch extensions, don't know what the will do in full lock and full suspension extension/compression... just fitted them tonight...) Now I need lower gearing..... Can I fit an transfercase from a F20 with a 1.6 fuel engine to my 5 spd gearbox??? ( It's a 1992 Rocky/Fourtrak/Rugger with a 2.8 turbo diesel with intercooler[/img]

Howdy, I have been told that the Toyota 2.4/ 2.8 transfer cases are compatible internally if you can get lower geared ones, the problem with the Rocky/Rugger/Fourtrack Is that the diff gearing is too high (compared to a Hulux/cruiser). if you changed the diffs to hilux or even prado ones that would fix the problem.

Thanks for the info but what do you mean with change the diffs??? does it mean swap axles completely.... The diffs styles are different. Toyota has a complete third member you can pull out and the Daihatsu diff is Land Rover Salisbury style...Are the Ring and Pinion interchangeable Toyota <-> Daihatsu interchangeable? I have Bundera LJ70 axles ( the frontaxle is incomplete...just the housing and third member....) can I use them also? It looks like the Toyota rear axle is offset to the passengerside ( In Holland the driver is on the left side) end the Daihatsu rear axle is more centered.... the gearing from the Toy diffs is 4.88 isn't that too low for highway performance?????

I'm pretty sure a few hilux diff swops have been done on them ie replace the diffs.

Another Dutchie on here eh?
Good nickname too, bet not too many Kiwi's will get the meaning of that one.
Whereabouts are you located?
(Sorry nothing to do with fitting lower gearing)

Yes another Dutchie

Ik woon in Vlaardingen.... Denk dat ze inderdaad weinig kunnen met m'n nickname hahaha..... Die heb ik te danken aan een avondje gehaast sleutelen, een gat in m'n radiateur een kabelboompje uitgefikt... 't kreng moest en zou rijden met die grotere motor whahah. Heb m'n naam in ere gehouden later...... problemen bestaan niet, alleen uitdagingen... 't beestje knapte er niet van op whahah. Waar kom jij vandaan???'

Again thanks for the info, it sounds interesting.... You can't tell me how it's done?? Does someone know??

Ik kom origineel uit Roermond. Maar ik woon al langer hier dan ik in Nederland heb gewoond. Was 15 jaar oud toen mijn ouders besloten te emigreren. En dat was 26 jaar geleden. Maar daar hebben we helemaal geen spijt van, we hebben veel te veel plezier hier.
Heb je deze thread gezien?

Daihatsu met Toyota assen. Niet veel technische informatie, maar een paar fotos.

Ik heb al 's vaker foto's van die auto gezien hier maar op die ene kon je duidelijk zien dat er een toyota as onder gebouwd was. Die andere meneer zegt dat je gewoon de differentieels kan uitwisselen..... het lijkt me sterk 't lijkt niet eens op mekaar. Een Limburger.... m'n vader komt daar ook vandaan. Ik kom er graag, mooie omgeving vriendelijke mensen.... een stukje beter dan de Randstad. Maar ik kan me best voorstellen dat je er geen spijt van hebt dat je naar Nieuw Zeeland gegeemigreerd bent. Owjah m'n naam is Dennis trouwens.

sorry, you don't need new glasses just 2 dutchies....... I know this site but didn't look for lower gears there because most useable parts and info are coming from down under..... I'll go and try there

Fom memory you have to swop the diffs over and there is a bit of modification involved.....the problem is if you stay with the daihatsu diffs then you can't get LSD's or difflocks....noone makes them for those anymore....there are plenty of off the shelf Toyota ones :lol:
