LSD for a Hilux

[Tweak]

Ok with the turbo coneversion going ahead, iam in need of a lsd, Whats out there thats factory toyota gear that i can put in, Ive looked for a genuine lsd out of my model hilux but its proving very hard to find one that in good cond.
My hilux is a 2003 2wd

I got a Detriot Truetrac for my Hilux diff.

I think you will find some original Torsen Toyota diffs will go in there no hassle.

the hilux 4x4 came with a rear LSD they crop up pretty regularly. they arnt really tight enough for one wheel up in the air sort of abuse you give them off roading but they certianly LSD quite well on blacktop.

[TTV8RA23]

Surfs and hiluxes came out with LSDs in the back and some surfs with them in the front Hilux diffs are pretty universal and all pretty much fit any other hilux (apart from the very new sheep shagger ones) they are relatively easy to come by but not very cheap. It may be hard to find one your ratio but you can just swap over the crown wheel off yours onto the LSD center and put it together in your diff.

Thinking iam gona have to go new. As its gonna take a big flogging, and removing diff centers is not a fun think to do on the week end lol

detroit truetrac center seems pretty good. and its in my price range AND is does away with friction plates YAY

you can get kaaz lsd's for them, ive been ringing around for a spool and they all keep trying to sell me kaaz lsd's.

[Tweak]

prefer a detroit over a kazz....... Look at the 4wd comps. 70% are using detroit lockers. and the abuse they take its pretty harsh........ never heard them running kazz centers in comps

[DLA11D]

true trac for the win.
I'm running in my lux no problems with the centre. I drive my to work most days.

A KAAZ will take just as much abuse as a detroit but the reason 4wd guys dont use them is due to the fact that they don't lock 100% and most guys in 4wd cant justify spending 1600 odd dollars on a kaaz (or similar) when a "locker" will do the job they require for less money.

Most of the 4wd comp guys will use an air locker if they want total control over their diffs.

Different strokes for different folks but the way i would list it would be.

Drag = spool
Track = KAAZ or similar
Street = True trak or similar
4WD comps = Air Locker
tighter budget = detroit style locker
$50 pockets = BOC locker

Cheers

[Draven]

As linden said pretty much. If you want something that can handle street + other apps, let me know.. I can get you a G-series true trac for under $800 delivered

[timbosaurus]

$50 pockets = BOC locker

BOC must have bought the patent eh... used to be owned by CIG where i came from

[Tweak]

Dont forget "stick" came out with there own center aswell lol

May take you up on that offer draven. Gotta wait till thursday when i get paid
