45p? You can't even buy a cup of tea for that these days!

Wouldn't turning it upside down make it run backwards, just putting a front axle on the back won't make any difference, as the prop is going in the right direction still.

You sure? I would have thought a clockwise turning prop which makes the front wheels run clockwise would make them run anti clock wise when stuck on the back as you are swinging them through 180.

I was always under the impression you had to flip an axle to run it on the rear and I don't see why an IFS setup would be any different. You need to shift the crown wheel on the opposite side surely.

Nah, your front prop runs the opposite way to the back one.

Also 8" pickup diffs fit in either axle, they are exactly the same.

I've never read about flipping diffs, not in a Toyota anyway. wouldn't you get pinion oiling issues?

:doubts self now, off to garage to rotate things...:

I didn't realise the 8" could be swapped like that or that the transfer box rotated the props in opposite direction. Thanks Tony everyday can still be a school day
