Can any tell me if it is an easy swap to put Toyotas own Diff lock center into the standard diff. I can get a diff center complete with wiring harness switch etc, and just wondering if the swap is relatively straight forward. Cheers Zack.. |

the front diff housing is slightly different where the centre bolts in. A standard housing would need a little bit ground away where the diff lock actuator needs extra clearance to fit into the housing. I think a couple of bolt spacings are slightly different too. I used a standard gasket when I had my front diff centre out, I had to trim it a little and put a extra hole or 2 in it. I havent looked at the rear, but would assume it would be a similar scenario. I think the front inner axles are different lengths too, though someone would need to confirm that, Im not 100% certain. A visit to your local helpful toyota to check part numbers might help confirm this. If you can get the inner axles as well as centres and your not shy with a grinder, Id say go for it. I can not fault my factory diff locks. They have been awesome. The only thing I dont like about them is the position of the switch. I will be setting up new switches so that they are more accessable and so that the front and rear lockers can be switched independently. |
