i believe from what i read some where that 4trak output flange on transfer box is same as a hilux splines are same but you have to machine the bit that seal runs on down as it's longer than traks one, have to look into it Laughing

your car is fantastic looking man.

love those tyres, how are they in the rain, lethal? road noise?

noodle247 · Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2012 9:11 pm Post subject:

There more grip in the wet that you can use with the live axles.
Wink

The road noise is EPIC.

Everything is a compromise.

Started in earnest on the hydro assist steering today
Tapped the steering box as per
http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=10579.0
The box is almost identical

But remember they're lhd so it's all backwards.
(Well some of it)

Then had to make a bracket for the steering bar for the ram to attach.

And that's about as far as I've got.

fingers92 · Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 9:19 am Post subject:

80 axles are good but have you thought about y60 patrol axles there meant to be stonger

fingers92 · Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 8:05 pm Post subject:

i think they will be plenty strong enough just thinking of other options Very Happy

, have you broken one of your lux axles or changing because there wider and what suspension set you going for with the airshoxs, will be awsome trax when you are done Cool

noodle247 · Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2013 10:40 am Post subject:

It's cause they're wider an have lockers.
Not Broken a hilux axle just have spaced too much so not ideal.
The front will have a three link +panad with16" air shocks
And the axle moved forward another 3-4" forward
The rear has enough movement as Is so will have the same setup
As now. For the time being at least.

Nowt's gonna happen soon though.

noodle247 · Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:34 pm Post subject:

Well she's back on the road with new water pump
Wheel bearings an smaller wheel spacers.
An a little extra.

What you guys recon?
