Re: Lexus getting hot

Since I had the Spitronics on my truck I can now see what my coolant is doing, I installed a android pad with RealDash My Lexus Hilux 83-93c in SA temps.
This was the reading when I got back from work after driving in traffic, parked idling at the house

Re: Where can i get good Recon Diff or Second Hand Diff

They are indeed tough, much stronger that the local GearMax one. Refurbishing is the better option, changing the ratios means changing the front diff as well - the front and rear diff portions (3rd members) are interchangeable, a nice option to have if you have diff trouble out in the styx. Diff is...
