Gq vs 80 series

[MEGOMONSTER]

Everybody knows a Gq has stronger gear, everybody knows a gq has a longer lasting engine (even in petrol!), the 80 series drives better on bitumen and around town, the gq is a better balanced 4wd exhibiting superior tyre grip, handling and articulation....... So which is a better 4wd?

Oooooooooooooooooooo.............

I run a 91 gq, father in law a 94 yota 80..

I've done over half a million k's and have all original running gear..

Inlaws 80 had 350 thou and had both diffs, radiator and clutch done...

The obvious price difference too! With money saved on a gq purchase you could do lift and lokka then really piss on the Toyota

You don't need to though with the superior LSD in the rear of a patrol.

How does patrol have better tyre grip ?

Yeah sorry that wasn't real clear lol.
I meant that the way they are better balanced seems to helps with grip. The power gets to the ground

[Bloodyaussie]

With Nissans lsd of course there is better grip......

I love rubbing in the fact the Inlaws needed to lift there new prado to get the same travel as a stock patrol.. Lol

well all I could say to this is theres mechanic at work with a 105 series he will tell you straight that the Nissan is stronger and the horror stories of all the crap he had to do to make it strong making his own spacers for his diffs to stop them disintegrating going back to an earlier gearbox installing a bigger clutch this is the real horror had to re pin the flywheel and then get the bellhousing machined out for it to fit. shit all this to make it not as strong as a Nissan.
