anyone know if they are the same for e/locker and non-e/locker?

MOT?
Japan 4X4?
Bruce?
Peter?

interesting, the EPC doesn't show a long splined front shaft so i am wondering if they used the long spline even for the open diff...
the part number is:
43412-60100

hummm, curious...

thanks though Louis
 
Wayne, do you have an exact length? I have a long front axle shaft that is too long for the '45 but not long enough for the '60. I got it in Honduras so it may be a '70 series. Let me know as I will be in Cranbrook for the fall and can bring it up when I drive up in two/three weeks.
 
Nah, i haven't pulled it apart yet...
i was hoping to have all the parts to swap in the e/locker...

Sheldon and I were in the shop looking through EPC and discussing your e-mail from the other day. We were stumped as well.

We do have two each (new) of the front long side long spline shafts, and rear short side long spline shafts for BJ74's in stock (the rear short side matches over to a bunch of applications...HJ, BJ, HZJ, PZ, LJ) but it does not appear according to EPC that the front shafts from pre 1990 will cross to the post 1990 applications. The rear appears to.

If you can confirm your front is same dimensions as the BJ74...then one of the ones we have will work for you. If not, then we can get from Japan, as we have a shipment leaving soon.

Now that we are getting more post 1990 7* series into Canada, people will have to start giving year and model to ensure getting the correct part. Being 43412-60100 you are post 1990...correct?

Funny they don't mention lockers at all. We wondered if they tooled them all long spline after 1990?

Do you want me to bring it up?? About all it's good for with me is a big beating tool!!

If your long side front inner axle "is" for the 70 series, it is also a FJ4*, BJ4*, BJ7* inner axle up to 1989...and is part number 43412-60020. This subs up to 60090, which is for post 1990 HJ75 only, to 1991. Post 1990 front long side for the PZJ, HZJ, LJ, FZJ etc is 43412-60100 which is the part number Wayne posted. Question is if this is simply a part number change, or a physical change.

Is your inner axle a long spline as well? The long spline will be needed for the e-locker application that Wayne wants to run.

the truck in question is a 1990 PZJ70, i am thinking maybe they went to a long splined axle for all the units but then that could be a PITA to find out after pulling the thing apart it wasn't. i really want to get this truck back up and running...

while you are looking i could use the wiring harness for the front and rear lockers on a 70 series and anything else you might have kicking around. i have the units sitting under the bench (from the PZJ75 project) and would like to use them...

cheers and thanks for checking this our for me.
 
after just chatting with Dave, the front axle is the same for all the 7* series models after 1990 which includes the HZJ73 which came with the e/locker in the front...
hummm...
maybe i need to just pull this one apart and inspect. i am surprised no one has covered this ground before.

maybe we need to move this to 7* series tech.

this is an very interesting stuff .. I'm not sure about the long splines long side .. the short side is the same in all 7* aplications .? or viceversa .. :frown:

According to EPC nope. What the physical differences are is the question.

RH inner front axle = 43411-60020 crosses to 60060 and is good for a slew of HD Landcruiser applications all the way from the FJ4*/BJ4*/*J6*/BJ7* up to 1990/01.

RH inner front axle = 43411-60030 is for the RJ70 and LJ70 up to 1990/01.

According to EPC the heavy duty stuff does not cross to the light duty stuff. pre 1990 It will be interesting to see what Wayne discovers this weekend when he takes the axle apart and measures. If you can, measure both the inner LH and inner RH axles so we can compare.

I have had all of those on the bench at some point, the sum of the lengths is the same for 4* and early LJ7*, the offset is different and the long side LJ7* is just inbetween 40 and 60 series lengthwise.

The front "8"" or "HP" or "fine splined" or "80 sereies" elocker does not require a long splined shaft, niether does the 8" rear elocker (fine splined engagement collar as well).

The 9" elockers have a sliding cog that solidarizes the shaft and the differential case whereas the 8" has a sliding collar with splines inside and outside that engages in the planetary gear and diff. case.
 
Wayne, the shaft I have is 2' 6 1/4" long. Splines are 1 1/2".
Let me know if this is what you need.
 
thanks for ht eoffer but the shaft is fine (afaik) i beleive the carrier itself has broken into 2 seperate pieces which seems to be a common problem with big tires and a heavy foot...
cheers
