05+ Taco gears

Post up some pics of those babies when they arrive! :drool:

I will for sure. Carl said about 10 days to arrive.

I phoned a shop here in Edmonton and got a quote of 1000K to do the install for both gears. Alberta Driveline do great work.

The rear will take no time, its that DAM clamshell up front that takes all the time. I wish Toyota still had the solid axle up front with the removable 3rd member.

I love KORE stuff. I'm just hoping Kent builds a few things for Toyota one day!!

The best company in Canada to deal with high end suspension and off-road parts. The owner Kevin has really helped me with my build with most of the stuff.

Certainly sounds like Kevin, I couldn't go last year but did allot of wrenching on the race truck. I will be down there this year chasing and driving for Kevin. I'm slowing getting my truck ready for Baja, to chase.

A couple of pictures from last year.

Fortuner Diff Gears

G'day all,

After some exhaustive research Ive found out that Toyota does make a genuine 4.55:1 diff gear set that would suit the Hilux and Tacoma that shares the 120 platform.

It is the Toyota Fortuner found in Thailand. It is a wagon based 4x4 built upon the toyota hilux design. In the version with the 2TR 2.7litre VVTi engine and auto transmission it runs a 4.55:1 ratio.

heres a spec sheet from Thailand I beleive where they are made -

Now, the only problem is whether we can find a way to bring em over. Im guessing with the currency exchange rate with Thailand, it should make it somewhat affordable.

any opinions?

P.S I have just emailed them inquiring about if I could import a pair, so will wait for a response.
