WTB Hilux front drive shaft for high angle operation

Post by churchill »

I'm after a Double Cardan style front drive shaft from a hilux etc that will fit a 8" toyota diff. I think most Hilux run this setup, correct me if I'm wrong.

I've got Hilux axles under my Zuk but the front driveline angle is to extreme and I've run out of spline. I need 75mm travel and only have 90mm available meaning i'll be driving with 15mm engaged at full droop. That's not enough!

Anything considered.

Terrain Tamer would be a good place to start.
Don Kyatt in Manukau are the Auckland agents.
