[BUSHWHACKER]

Could be the front diff, they are the weakest part of the Surf's drivetrain.

Drain the oil and look for metal bits.

Then speak nicely to Stormforce,

Possibly a CV joint let go?

Or go the extreme front diff upgrade path as done by one of the members on the Oz forum. I'll dig the link out shortly, (when I can remember who's done it).

Did you break everything? Or have you got another modification in mind?

[BioHazard]

You will need the front axle from a hilux and the matching rear diff , i went for leaf springs at the front and it is the easier and cheaper method but it could be done with coil springs as the outrageousoffroad hilux was done

[reecers]

turns out the diff is fooked, the wheel bearing was on there way out anyway, and one of my calipers are siezed badly so figured i might aswell get the whole axle and gubbins with it. so do i not need a 4runner one? excuse my ignorance i havnt been into 4x4's for long and dont know what works and what doesnt

do a search about solid axle swaps .... there are some good links here and on yotatec and the austrailian site , also

www.outrageousoffroad (who did mine ) and la supertrux


Captain chaos also posted a good link to a coil sprung one a while back
