Rig: 93 HDJ81, 37" tires, Gturbo green wheel, pdi intercooler, Manta 3" exhaust, WAT extreme valve body, 3.11 low gears and 10% underdrive in xfer case. Rig is used offroad but 3 to 7 hr highway drives (usually in mountains) are not uncommon to reach fun destinations. Question: What diff gear...

Just under my truck and noticed, when checking the rear driveshaft u joints, that the rear diff has what seems to me to be an excessive amount of slop/play. What is a normal amount of rotational play in the diff, rotating the driveshaft one way then the other? Can this be tighten up by torquing...

Hey all, After a decent amount of searching I still haven't seen a great answer. Other people with similar issues have talked about buying a different shifter boot. I put down deadener + closed cell foam + mass loaded vinyl in my rig which was a VERY noticeable improvement in noise. But...at...

There's a poll attached to this thread. For the sake of clarity the poll is designed to ask how you actually resealed your differential(s) ie: what FIPG, RTV or gasket was used. Please don't vote if you haven't done the job yourself. However, if either of your differentials have been serviced...

Hey all, Currently rebuilding the rear diff center out of my Hdj80. I’m currently on the smallest pinion shim I can get from Toyota 1.05mm My back lash is 0.17mm The gears are used and I’m only rebuilding as pinion seal was leaking and decided to put a solid spacer and new bearings whilst I...

Will buy any and all reasonably priced '98-'02 4.30 front diff carriers for a 100 series.

Howdy all. Looking for 5.29 ring & pinions for 9.5" diffs. I'm also interested in install kits, flanges, lockers, and solid pinion spacers. Let me know what you got? Thanks

Hey folks Having a wee issue with the 4wd on my bj60. Back in August I tackled the front axle of my cruiser, replacing as all seals and bearings, and following what I thought was the standard disassembly/assembly procedure. A Greasy job that one. Anywhoo since I slapped it back together I've...

I drive a '99 LX470 and have used the hand brake trick with my LSD for a while. It works but it also requires a lot of e-brake maintenance and is not as reliable as a locker. If anyone finds themselves looking to sell a rear axle with a locker (with a harness would be crazy cool) I would...

80 series, 1993, is making squealing/grinding noises intermittently. Grabs right front when it happens. Any ideas an axel differential shop that knows 80's?

Hi guys, I'm in the planning stages for a future rebuild of my front and rear diffs on a 1996 HZJ80, without lockers and with the factory LSD (axle code K295). No major warning signs of problems right now, but they haven't been serviced by me in the 3 years I've had it, and I doubt the previous...

G'Day, I'm currently rebuilding my front differential with new bearings and have now put everything back together for the first time. Quit the effort. I now get why shops usually put this off or charge four digit prices just for the labour... Either way: Backlash and preload are perfectly...

Hello All, Thank you in advance for any help with this!! I have a 1969 FJ40. I believe it was built in July of 69. I'm doing a full restoration on it. I'm currently rebuilding the front and rear axles. When I pulled the rear axle carrier assy out one of the bearings just fell off. I tried a...

I just finished a handful of projects on my 2003 LX470 and have too many parts in the garage. Make an offer if it could be useful to you, I need the space. Namely: Rear differential. 4.1 gearing, most likely 220k miles, excellent condition. Its available because I rebuilt the front and...

This rear axle is out of a 1994 LandCruiser with factory diff lockers (locker not included). Differential housing has the cut-outs for the factory locker. Unfortunately though, the axle housing is bent. Everything else is fine. Doesn’t come with rotors and calipers. $450 OBO. Toyota...

I took the truck out on the farm for a drive this afternoon, and the rear diff s*** the bed. Im trying to work out what caused it, Its a 1985 bj73 with a semi floating rear axle, 2 ARB air lockers and 34" tyres. I drove down a quite steep bumpy hill in 1st letting the engine do all the braking...

FYI - Documenting what I couldn't exactly find a number for. Just changed the front diff oil after 6 1/2 years and 35k miles of mostly low stress road use. Measured the drain out - right at 4 quarts of nice thick dark gray/green iridescent diff soup. I'd say it was about like a melted...
