differential

Hey all - Looking to swap out my ring an pinion from stock to 5.29. Around town driving on 35's is killing me. Had a few questions I was looking for advice on. Is 5.29 really going to top me out at around 65mph/3000rpm? I don't do a ton of interstate driving, but trips to trails will be a bit...

so I just bought a 2002 Land Cruiser with about 250k miles on it. realized after a day that the Center Differential lock switch didn't seem to work - at least the indicator light for it didn't go on when I pressed the button. took the car to Toyota and was told the Center Differential Actuator...

So my FJ80 was making new noises, so I popped the filler plug and saw this grey soup ( water and oil mix), I have good seals, vent tube good. I do not do deep water crossings, so I changed the oil and it still vibrates and does not sound right, so I am thinking new seal and bearings, when I...

Just a heads up. I have had differential oil leaking out of the birdfields for many years. I recently read where removing the vent valve from the front differential might help. I removed the valve and ran 1/4 fuel hose from the original vent location up to the brake master cylinder and voila...

I have a new never used CJK Offroad Electric Locking Differential Harness with High Pinion plugs. I can give you a front or rear locker switch (I have one of each). The harness is 12' long. Price is $100 + shipping/PayPal fee. From CJK: No more cutting and splicing into the frame harness for...

Other than synthetic, what is the optimal weight for temperature range of 10*f to 95*f Is it OK to use gear oil intended for limited slip differential or traction modifiers for a differential that's open or in the transfer case?

We've been replacing rear-end components damaged by a former owner to get the truck straight and level. After replacing a bent trailing arm and a leaking KDSS cylinder ($$$) the alignment tech noticed the rear axle is offset 1" to the side. Factory spec allows for 1/2" with stock...

Hi all. I'm looking for best guesses here and also hoping someone can suggest a reputable LC shop in the SLC area... This morning in attempting to free my 1999 100 Series from a 1-foot-deep snowy/icy street parking spot, I appear to have 'broken' 4-High. In my first attempt at plowing through...

Hello Mud, Raven Industries in Tempe, AZ has a pretty decent deal on Gears / ARB Lockers installed for about $3300 F&R (90 day warranty on labor). Google searching is very sparse - only a half dozen positive reviews on any site I find (such a low number suggests employee and friend posts)...

So long story short, I destroyed my rear diff while wheeling last weekend. It leaked all its oil, and the rear wheels wouldn't spin at all. I couldn't move the truck in 2WD, and had to engage 4WD, essentially running on the front wheels only. This is because I have a part-time 4WD system from...

I recently parted ways with the body and frame of my parts car (1975 FJ55), and now have these complete axles left over. Willing to sell them complete or in pieces, just let me know what you're after. Uber-reasonable pricing. I'd prefer not to scrap them if people need parts! Buyer to pay...

Since I broke my inner front diff axel this past weekend I have been searching options for repair. I found a guy parting out a 06 4WD tundra and will sell me the whole assembly for a great price of $250. I need to remove it myself, no biggie. Is this a suitable replacement for my 99? At the...

I've been setting up my own gears for a long time now (infrequently) and just ran into a few industry changes that caught me off guard (specifically Yukon Gear, but others are likely the same). Hopefully I can save "the next guy" some trouble by putting this out for anyone that doesn't already...

Hey gang, My pinion seal finally crapped out completely so I'm using the opportunity to regear as I service both the diffs. In reviewing the FSM I saw a pantload of SSTs listed for the removal and installation of various bits. How many of these are absolutely essential and how many can be...

Who still makes rear diff skids for the FJC? I visited BudBuilt and they don't seem to market one for the FJC anymore, although they still have one listed for the '03-'09 4R (same axle/diff housing). The fact that he doesn't make them for current models of the 4R or list them on the FJC page...

On her second voyage out, the Lotarp100 took us on a 35-mile journey on fire roads through the Richloam Wildlife area, about a half-hour from home. We picked her up about a month ago. Somebody gave her a $200 maaco paintjob complete with runs. It looks great as a background for mud spray...

I took out the front third member to fix a leaky pinion shaft and found a chewed up mess. Does anybody have a set of front differential gears they can sell me for cheap? or know of any used thirds for sale in the area??? Need em shipped to Broken Arrow, OK 74014

Looking for a rear 3rd member for my 89 4Runner. Seals/bearings etc. must be in good shape. Preferably within a day's drive of Jackson, MS

So my Front diff and various other components have this green sludge on it. it gathered a decent puddle in about 3 hours. Idk what to refill and was wondering if yall had any ideas. I dont have green coolant (its brown and needs to be changed), and theres no dye in the A/C. my engine oil isn't...

This past weekend I did some light off-roading here in Virginia in my new to me 87' FJ60. It is bone stock which is the way I like it. So whenever I was going up a steep incline where I needed 4 low once the vehicle came under strain the front dif sounded like it was slipping and not sending...
