New Greaseable birf and Tokico's

[Squash]

I do know Mobile Parts quite well and will approach them for a bulk order.

Once this step is complete we will look at the pre 94 and post 94 birfs and drive plates.

Note all units are interchangeable as long as you use the proper drive plate, mind you I have swapped the different years with minor adjustments.

ballpark price? strength compared to OEM?

 

[Tapage]

nice never saw this thread until now .. bad for us with part time t-case and hubs ..

 

[Squash]

Had a couple of replies to costs and now need to consider shipping from Aus.
Cost of unit is $230.00 not including the shipping.

Ideally this is a bulk order, post 94's take into consideration that currently you would require the older drive plates to match the shorter Birfs that run in the 7* series trucks and pre 94 80s'.

My secondary approach involes the larger left hand birf in post #14 which uses an even thicker drive plate and possible spindle but this will take time. As some of you know Toyota does not want to deal with the public when suppling mining companies and suppliers are held accountable.

PS. Those of you with front end issues should look at heat sensors for the hubs, my thoughts are that all heat issues result in damage...monitor heat, react to heat and you will save costly parts and being stranded.

If the zerk is countersunk into the end of the spindle there shouldn't be any interference with the
back of the manual hub assy, and they are pretty easy to pop off I figure. An extra step, but
worth it for direct to birf center greasing IMO.

I would be interested in the group by. Later type for 97 FZJ80

Is the retail price in Australian dollars (230AUS=178US)? Wonder what the price would be from the Canadian supplier? The HZJ-79L birfield and thicker drive plate combo sounds interesting.

 

[Tapage]

And what about the resistance, quality and strength..?

 

[Kernal]

Any updates on these birfs?

 

[IronYuppy]

Yeah, what's the dilly-o on these?

 

[IronYuppy]

Also I'm confused... There are references to both "pre 94" and "post 94" in this link. Which part number applies TO 1994 FZJ80s?

 

[bugsnbikes]

Im pretty sure depending on your production month- your 94 falls into earlier (93-94) or later (94up). I forgot the cutoff month but any dealer can look it up based on your vin.

I am interested if there is a group buy, Im in Ontario Canada and have a 1990 hdj80. Does any one know off hand if the rear disks and pads on my truck are the same as a US 80 series? ( will I need to buy from Austraila, or get them localy)

The rear calipers are different (smaller) than the US market rear disc models. I assume that means the rear pads - and likely the discs - will be different, also.

You can probably get part numbers in the Diesel section, as there are lots of Canadian HDJ81 owners hanging out in there.

The rear pads are the same as a Lexus LX450. There are part numbers listed in a sticky in the Diesel tech section. I have no idea about the calipers or disc's though.

continuing with this hijack...

I recently replaced rear hoses, discs, calipers and pads. All are same as US 80s except the discs which are about 1" smaller in diameter. Cruiser Dan could not find them in US, so I got after markets from E4 in Duncan. DBAs are available from man-a-fre@sbcglobal.net in the US and freddieawad@justbrake.com in Canada.

ttt and keeping current

 

[ForealBoreal]

anybody have a line on these? bump

 

[Wheelingnoob]

I talked to the Canadian dealer and they make there own greas able birfs. They said they are about $700 each.

I now have a e-mail out to the OZ company sorting out shipping and weather or not they have the longer birf needed for the 95+ drive plate.

 

[Kernal]

You can have your current birfs drilled and add a zerk fitting for cheaper.

Ya there was a thread about this not too long ago, although I think he did it with longfields. I believe the issue with longs is that they didn't wear as well as stockers in a DD rig, I believe the greasable units were supposed to be better to handle the wear.
