Photo's Of Your 4x4's - Something that you should get on here...  

booflux

Because anything over 31s is illegal and with a P plate on you are already a target
Yes bigger wheels will lower the RPM but you will actually use more fuel, the reason is the vehicle is out of its torque range so you will need more right boot or drop down gears up hills, and just to hold speed due to the larger rolling resistance. Up to 32 seems to be alright without diff gears but 33s and over really do need it done imo.

The auto lockers range in price and a lot of people will tell you buy an air locker or fit it to the rear. IMO a $500 lokka brand from 4wd Systems in the front is the way to go. It totally transforms the vehicle offroad without affecting on road characteristics, and it also allows you to crawl stuff offroad which means less damage and breakages. Most people break diffs in IFS due to coming down back to ground with wheels spinning. A locker means the car will keep driving when it lifts a front wheel which IFS does much to reguarly.

you have no idea. i'll post some pics soon of the pissin nissain that came out the same day, we got through eventually, that drivier was like no worries, 40 minutes later the nissain got out...

HOON69

nice work mate

WICKED

I'm about to put new diff's in mine. Thought I'd post some pics!

booflux

We have had a few holdups on the front so I have started on the rear. Old mounts and bumpstops are cut out and its ready to weld in the new ones. The new springs are longer and have moved the rear diff back. I am just waiting on the crossmember for the rear inverted shock setup and I will finish the rear off.

cvbass

I am kinda new to 4wding, but why leaf springs and not coil? I wouldve thought coil would travel better?

MENICE

Some new pics of my GQ 4.2 turbo diesel wagon with the new 5 inch lift and 35 inch Mickey T claws, just waiting on some coil drop out cones before I go flexing it up.

HOON69

orsm troll looks great

Hi everyone, i own a ifs triton dual cab, how hard is it to install a LOKKA to the front diff? Im not very mechanicaly minded but willing to giv it a fair shot. Is it worth spending money on a IFS 4wd or biteing the bullet and going for a coil sprung solid diff one?
Cheers
Trent

HOON69

its something a wouldnt touch unless you got someone whom knows what they are doing
it'd take half a day to a day to do

cvbass

Thanks mate, just a couple more pics, good fun in the sand, I wouldn't mind getting a body lift and 33s though

booflux

If your not very mechanically minded probably best not to do it. They are not hard by any means but they do require a little knowledge. In relation to keeping or selling its up to you, mine was never really a drama as IFS it caused a few scary angles at times but with lockers and the right line never failed to follow the solid axle trucks.

If you intend to go full hardcore or comps in the future and you have not dropped too much money into it already then look at upgrading. If its just weekend warrior social wheeling, then lift it, lock it and have fun keeping up with the big boys in the underestimated rig.

sc00by

thanks booflux and hoon69 for your comments, is there any way to get more flex or travel out of ifs? like different brands or is it just all about the same, gets a bit freeky when suddenly a wheel gets thrown a foot off the ground. and is there any way to keep the water out of your cabin whilst doing creek/river crossings?

HOON69

water problem would be seals/rubbers

as for making IFS travel theres not much but there is ways but costly and some might say will just break more pats etc

if its a toy then just lift it,bodylift,set of big MT's like 33's and lock it like boof says.

booflux

Youll get used to lifting wheels mate its an IFS trait :happy:

PASSNBY

god i love that hilux, so unique

putsy

Abit of knowladge goes along way when doing the lokka even though the instructions are easy to follow and good detail. I have them in my hilux front and rear. Listen to booflux on the IFS stuff he is the king in this area A coil sprung soild front end or IFS depends on how hard you want to go imo.

SLO304

This is what im peddeling at the moment, pretty much a stocko with big feet. The ifs has about as much flex as a subaru leone...





[attachment=483366:attachment]

And me mates 75, its quite a capable truck. ARB air locker in rear, 36" peeds, extended shackles, bodylift etc etc...

Few pics of my zook. Tuff little machine, 31" tyres on F100 rims (great offset). Just spent a few quid on her gettin new bearings, gearbox seals, inner axle seals, left front cv. Wouldnt mind a snorkel and some sliders soon... See how it goes....

booflux

Well with a huge thanks to Dan, Buddy and Ryano the lux is done

I still have a few things to tidy up and clean up etc. I also stuffed up the rear driveshaft length but it is out of the shed and looking flaming insane. Anyway enough crap heres the pics.



Dan got here early so we finished off the final welds on the front and made a start on the rear.







From there bubs showed up with the spacers and we got the front done.







Standing on its own feet.







The rear inverted shocks






Now for the good pics.


































Standing height should lower a bit.







Absolutely stoked and it should only get better once the springs soften, it was nowhere near max flex either.
