Hi everyone im in the planning stage of a hj45 build and just wanted to get a good idea of what im going to have to do.
Ive been reading the forums for quite a while and have a good idea of what i would like to accomplish i just need a few specifics from you guys! Now i have searched and searched and i think ive just confused myself even more.
This is what i want to do. So its an aus spec hj45 im looking at buying so im assuming full float axles?
I want to put in a 350 chev with either 700r4 or nv4500 and a np205. This will require a soa conversion for clearance i believe? I only wanted to run 35s, this soa will net me between 6 and 7 inches, will 35s look a bit small with this much lift?
My main question related to axles ( i know its been done too death i apologise for that ) my dads the car man not soo much me so please keep it as simple as possible here.
So i was thinking for the front-
Arb locker, stock diff assembly with longfield 30 spline birfield/axle super set. Now i want disc brakes so would all i need be the hubs, discs and calipers from a toyota hilux? If so what years are suitable?
Now the rear, since i want a np205 ill require a centered diff. I was thinking-
Stock diff with arb locker and then mating a complete hilux assembly with disc brakes on to this, also adding a set of longfield mini truck chromoly axles, will this work? If so once again which year am i looking for?
Sorry for the long post i wanted to give as much info as i could to make it easy for you guys!
Thankyou in advance
