MutleyFJ62 said:Get a 60 with lockers and spring over!!! hahahaha IFS wimps....... while on the subject of IFS, anyone come across front diff breakage with fairly minor off road work? Sorry for the hijack, Australian 4WD Monthly did their annual review and broke a brand new 100 TD auto front diff....very ordinary and a little too soft for Aussie conditions.
MutleyFJ62 said:NMuzj, it was a 100 with IFS, smashed the ring/pinion. This was a brand new vehicle on a clay base with OE fitted Dunlop Grandtreks. very ordinary
ShottsUZJ100 said:Wow, a one time occurance.
Geeze...I've never heard of an 80 or 60 front diff failure?
Greg B said:There's always a "weak link" in every axle. It sounds like the birf's are the weak link in the 60 and 80 axle. Since the 100's cv's are beefed up, it's probably finding the stock diff to be the weak link. I would suspect with an ARB in front, the weak link would transfer out to the cv instead of the diff. BUSTED100, do you run an ARB up front? If you do, it would support this theory as would Shotts' breakage in Moab.
ShottsUZJ100 said:I had no breakage in Moab. In fact, I ran the trails with a bad CV and it held up. The dealer put on free boots for me under ext warr (I didn't need them, they did me a favor). When they did that they broke an outer boot clamp. By the time I got to Moab (3 months later) the CV was dry and knocking. The fact it held? WOW! And, we made it home OK.
Greg B said:Wow, I missed that story along the way. That's pretty impressive!
ShottsUZJ100 said:The one disappointing thing about our Moab trip was this CV. I had planned to run all the trails open and letting TRAC kick in where needed. I wanted that added challenge of running open while the other Cruisers were locking.
I didn't do that. I locked too up figuring it be easier on the bad CV. Boooooo!
