Thread: Toyota Diffs into Range Rover Housing

your search capabilities are crap. Manty have done them, including myself.
You need an 80 series high pinion front and a hilux rear.
The flanges (caps) come with the axles, the cv's are generally toyota 23 spline.
So you need from Jacmac. front axles, rear axles, rear drive flanges, front drive flanges, front spindle bushes (need machining) rear hilux centre, front 80 series high pinion centre, spindles need machining (boring), bushes need to be made to fit swivels, hilux or lonfield cv's.

Rovertracks have reasonable information on their website on how to do the conversion.

I used Discovery axle housings (non IFS) with 80 series front, Lux rear and bobby longfield 30 splines and ARB air lockers. vern's spot on with everything else you need.

I do have a copy of the template used for the toyota conversions that I can loan out so you get the right drill pattern to fit the toyo diff centres. You need to drill out the toyo pattern and then weld fill some addition rover holes that won't be used. Boring the swivel hubs needs to be precise and Marlin Crawler bushes will fit

The rovertracks set up makes life pretty easy and gives you a real strong driveline. their armour sewer caps are bloody strong too as long as you are handy with a mig.

Since doing all this we have absolutely abused the car and it is going strong

Awesome thanks for the info, why a hylux rear though(isnt it only the 80 series that come with e-lockers)? Can you not do it with a 80 series rear center in both front n back?

Not too shabby with a mig so I was considering the sewer caps or I might just make up some armour for the diff as my housings arent rusty (ive been told this is rare)

80's rear is bigger, this is designed to take 8" centres, ie. 80/100 series high pinion front, hilux in the rear.

OMG it's Max Power!

Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to
touch! But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your
ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear! 'Cause his name
can be said by anyone!


I'm sure I'm the only one who knows what this means!

Xav, have you been drinking?

So is there no possible way I can use Rear 80 series e-locker diff centers? As I can get a pair really cheap atm, n fronts apparently are hard to come by unless u wanna spend $$$

Only if you put the entire rear axle in.
