Which diff do you have on the vehicle, local or import?

Is that an electrical selectable Locker then?
(Rather than an automatic)

True-Track locker will fit the import, but it's non-selectable. I'm open to correction, but the IFS / KZ third member with electrically actuated locker might fit the import diff, but then you will have to change the C&P ratios to suit the SFA.

Het hoeka gister weer gaan kyk op die ander thread. Die koop kan deurgaan as daai prys net met so R150 goedkoper was? :surrender:

Not sure about the KZ IFS third member, but the Fortuner third member with selectable fits the SFA import diff perfectly. I got those and they work like a charm on the SFA.
