F/S 4.88 surf diffs

[muddyhilux]

ok so due to new motor im pulling out the 4.88s and putting in 4.5s so i have

1x 2 pinion rear,done bout 220000km,have had no issues the whole 5 years ive owned truck and never got water in it

1x add ifs front dif with bout 210000km,this was my original diif which i pulled out (and replaced with)

1x non add front diff which im unsure of kms

not fussed if they're split up but would suit someone wanting to change ratios and have a spare front end which is why i never sold my original

price,im still trying to work out what theyre worth,make an offer and well go from there,also willing to trade

currently keeping an eye out for

2"lifted 80series rear coils
5x 15x10 -44 rims
and 350 chev short valve covers (matching pair )

[muddyhilux]

bump

[chevrolux]

ohhh whats wrong with the valvecovers you got?! adds character to the engine lol

[muddyhilux]

not quite my type of character,they work but then again so do a set of black alloys with a nice bow tie

[chevrolux]

farrrk yea. my favourite so far are some edelbrok covers. black alloy with polished fins and silver logo. look sexy as hell but cost a couple of hundy. cant really justify aye

[muddyhilux]

bump,anybody out there in need?

[chrome]

fakey has some of these on t me now

[muddyhilux]

cheers chrome.already spotted tho thanks,too pricey by the time I send them up,cheers anyway tho

[T-Boon]

What sort of price are you looking at ?

[muddyhilux]

um make an offer bro, I don't want to give them away (like everyone I'm strapped for cash) but yeah,id hope they're worth a couple of hundred minimum

[T-Boon]

Was thinking about the $150 mark ?
Too low ?

[muddyhilux]

yeah bit too low sorry,3 diffs got be worth more than that,usually get hundy+ easy for any rears ive ever sold and 80-100 for fronts so don't really wana go below that

[T-Boon]

You still got these ?

[muddyhilux]

yeh bro,ubz currently deciding on the non add diff but all still here

[T-Boon]

how do I know if I have add ?

when i had my v6 surf on 33s with the standard 4.3 diffs i struggled to used 5th gear on the open road then changed to 4.8s and it was the best thing i did. bought the diff ratios back to standard. much easier on the clutch too. I think I paid $150 for a 4,8 front diff and think that is reasonable as they are quite hard to find.

Cheers,
Pete

[muddyhilux]

do you have a gear stick you put into 4wd and manual hubs or you just press the button?ideally you want manual hubs cos then you can disconnect and save wear on the front cvs

if you do have manual hubs already i can lock the add unit so it means nothing

and yes pete,quite right in regards to all comments,ratios,clutch price and availability

[T-Boon]

yep, manual lever selected 4x4 and manual hubs, no mod cons here !

[muddyhilux]

sweet,yeah so if we locked up the actuator on the add system it'll be effectively removed and go straight in and be sorted

I'm running a locked add system in mine right now and now worries at all

[T-Boon]

ok, would you take $220 for front and rear 4.88 ?

[muddyhilux]

sorry mate,just blew my 4.5 in the weekend so these need to go back in as I cant afford a new 4.5

[Crash bandicoot]

which 4.5 did you destroy, front or back?

[muddyhilux]

rear 4.5lsd, I may already have one lined up though after a mate got back to me 2night,but if not I'm looking,ideally want bite the bullet and get 4.5 locked though,um,t boon,sorry I didn't get back earlier bro,didn't see your post.id take $250 once ive got mine sorted again

[T-Boon]

yep, sounds good once you`ve got yours sorted..
