Mitsu Rear (1 Viewer)

Would a raer axle out of a montero/raider be a vaible rear for a centered xfer case application?
Being that it is already pretty short.
If not why strength,part availabilty?

i dont know about that particular rear end much.. But id bet it has limited Gear options, Locker options, and parts are hard to come by..

Put in a Mini truck Rear Axle and be done with it!

looks like this guy yanked out his axle and put in a Toyota in his Raider

wish i could help ya.but i do know from personal ex.that d50 rears are strong and can handle up to a chevy 350 without any trouble.

The mitsu's have strong drivetrains. I wheeled the snot out of my Might Max PU, never had a hint of mechanical trouble. But aftermarket parts availability was non-existent. No gears, lockers, lift kits, etc.

If you want a japanese centered rear axle, use one from a minitruck or T100. There are plenty of gears and brake options for them.

A better (non-yota) option might be a trooper rear axle....

Why?

I bring this up because I may have a line on a rear with the LSD locker already in it. and also the lug patern is the same.
The only thing that wold need done internally is a gear change.
Just seeing if this is a feasable option.

Mini truck rears , or anything , in this area are as rare as hens teeth.

Aha! I didn't know there was any part of the globe where the Toy Mini was not ubiquitous.
I learnt something today.

 

[ridgerunner]

Why?

Locker availability (ARB or stock mechanical) 9.6" ring gear, 1.5" axle shafts, non c-clip semi floater, disk brakes, 63" wide. But gearing might be a pita.

Ridge,
That's good info. I had no idea.

you can place a ARB locker for this rear axle .. and factory ones if it come from a Montero .. but here in Panamá most of those rear axles come with 4.88 and those axle shaft are lest resistance than one Toy axle ..

my .002 cents !
