christmas has finally passed and I managed to get a weekend in the shed.. bring on version 4 of the rear end [:o)]

gone are the lowering blocks... they are now forsale btw



I have also had enough of beating on the rear guards to gain more clearance, plus my rear track is a tinnny bit over the allowable increase, so I decided to shorten the housing









In the end I took 6mm off a side, pretty simple job really.

And with the wheels now able to roll free, i dropped it back on the ground with some dummy bumpstops... sort of forget how small it is when its always 2feet in the air...

I believed I was using the "right" hilux diff.... In the end, it measured 1380 from drum face to drum face. The info for the "right" diff said the housing flanges are 1200 f to f, which it is.. so who knows???

anyhow, this is pretty much how the rims sat before I started


hindsight, I would have cut the inner half arch out and then pulled the outer skin only... Think I managed to get about an extra inch a side out of the guards.

Nice rims hey Simon [:p]
