so if fitting one to an SR5 you end up having lots of moving parts like us SR drivers?I think what you mean is, if fitting a locker to an SR5 will it affect the ADD operation - the answer is only if it is engaged. when the diff is open (locker off) it operates as normal
Of the selectable front diff locks is ARB air lockers the only choice for 05+ luxs? I think TJM do a front and rear locker for 05+ diffs
Will any/all of the selectable front diff lockers disconnect more parts then the standard SR drive train? meaning I will get longer life out of all the other drive train parts? Fitting a locker won't change the operation of your SR diff if not engaged
and finally, a bit left field, but it did get mentioned ealier.... has anyone found a kit for freewheeling hubs yet????? I'd love to have freehubs again No-one I know of does a FWH for the 05+ Hilux, the hub design, due to the drive mechanism - CV joint via half shaft - doesn't really lend itself to FWH.
The Dodge factory bearing setup is pretty near identical to the Toyota. So this is what the kit would basically be I am assuming. Longer CV output shaft instead of a yoke style output. This kit would also give you the ability to have manual hubs. Something we all would like to have to save on uneeded wear on compnents. More importantly though if this kit were to come out our front wheel bearing issues would be illiminated and the bearings would be servicable. Price is looking to be between $1500-$2000. I find that resonable because when the crappy wheel bearings pile it can take out a ton of expensive parts that can equal more than the price of the kit.
