LOL, cute little truck! Bait casted - no bites here I am probably done for the year, I have to order my new tranny/transfer from dave before I get into anything serious, I've been taking it easy on both because they are on the verge of collapse, lots of noise, rattling, bearings, pinion slop etc etc - so can't go too nuts with it. This spring will be good though, should have it all done by then.

Nikland, thanks very much, very kind words! I am glad you check my videos out - I will be producing some better videos in the near future. The 8 inch differential in my truck had a very hard life in the underground mines, it has about 2500 hours of use and always in 4x4 low gear - so it was worn out and I needed a new one. So instead of buying a new toyota differential I just bought an ARB locker and installed it with new bearings and ring and pinion gear. I have never broken it, next year it gets a real test - I suspect I will break the cv joint (birfield) first

Regards,

Louis

Louis, dont'you think that's good idea replace front differential 8" whit a more strong 9,5"..like a bj70-71-74?

 

[lshobie]

Yes it is a good idea, but you run into alot of problems - alot of fabrication would have to be done - or you have to lift the truck very high. The high pinion was used and the tie rod was used behind the diff - if you try to put in front then there is no place for the front panhard link - and the 9.5 inch diff comes in contact with the oil pan - so you have to lift high. Also, the 8.5 inch on my truck has the newer larger brakes - I love them and they work way better than the older smaller brakes of any other cruiser so I did not want to lose them.

I think the 8.5 inch front end with ARB locker, bigger bearings, and smart drving there should never be a problem. I only put about 10,000 kms on my truck a year so this should last me for as long as I own this truck.

What year is your HZJ71?

Louis

ummm, the 8" is just as strong as the 9.5 as long as it isn't an open diff. the casting of the actual crown retainer/mount is very thin... if it is an elec locker than theya re just as strong as the 9.5.
(i think i said that already)
the smaller diff has better ground clearence, larger birfs than the older style front.

in reality, i will run either in my trucks...

how many mini truck front diffs have you SEEN grenaded?

 

[lshobie]

I have heard that they are not as strong when under load in reverse. And yes only real problems I ghear of are fom mine use and open diffs, I suspect that the diff in my truck was atleast the second one and was completely worn out - I know it was the second as there is major damage inside the axle housing from a diff grenading. Same goes for the birfields on my truck, they weren't original as I can see where the exploded and chewed up the housing. But - they were in mine use so that speaks for itself. The birfs are as big as the 80 series birfs and are bigger than older 70 series birfs. Axles are the same size though.

They look familiar,reminds of me of what you see on the JDM late model SWB

 

[lshobie]

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[romey]

Louis,

I hope you don't mind me anwering this question since i have the same wheels on my 45 troopie. They are Performance TX wheels made by a French wheel manufacturer. I think these are available in the US and Canada to thru VTO Performance: Performance Wheels TX1 .
A bit expensive maybe, but very strong and there is almost no unbalance in the wheels themselves. I'm very happy with them.

HTH.
Mark

Hi Romey, wasn't my cruiser, I'll have to blow it up though - there can only be one!

Troopie, yes now I remember - I have seen those, but as far as I know they are only 7 inches wide, I'd like 8's. I'll contact them to see what they have available.

Thanks!
