Brought a front locker, got a hold of a pair of 4.3s and then swapped them for 4.6s so just need to set these lockers up in centres and get them in.
Then I can start on my motor conversion. I’m finally moving house in a couple of weeks so once I drive the car there it will all start.
Plans have slightly changed diff gear and locker wise, so I’ll be going up in tyres to compensate lol

Picked up my diff from The 4WD Shed, looking pretty
Pulled my transmission out today, engine will come out tomorrow then it’s time to try and fit the TD42.
Run into a few problems already, the motor I have is a semi electronic pump with the TCV on the pump, so trying to find a fix for that that doesn’t involve replacing the pump as I would prefer to do the pump when/if I upgrade the turbo
I have removed the EGR system and blocked the manifolds as I don’t require it

Dave are you only changing the front GQ diff housing to the GU or doing both? How do you think it will drive with different wheel widths? I know the Toyotas are a pig to drive on corrugated roads with different front to rear track widths. Also notice the brace kit is on the bottom of the housing - I just fitted mine and its on the top of the GQ diff housing - any idea why they hung your brace on the bottom side of the housing? I am going to brace my rear diff next and to keep max clearance will put it on top also.

Peebee I will be changing the rear diff to a GU housing when I find one for the right price but there isn’t a great deal of difference between GQ and GU rear housings in width maybe 10mm
I had the brace kit put on the bottom, if it goes on the top then you really have to watch your diff to sump clearance on full bump. I’m keeping this really low so wanted as much uptravel as I could

Thanks dave, I thought it was something like 20mm per side?

I haven’t ran a measuring tape over the two, but the 20mm a side is definitely in the front, but from what I’ve been told the rear is only 8-10mm in total width
