Hi chaps...
Now i read a post where someone said you can change the sfa import diffs crown nd pinion with the vigo ones. Ive done research on the net and come up empty handed...
Has any1 done this before? And which model hilux exactly is the vigo? The d4d?
Reason i want to do the change is that she needs longer legs

It may be possible but I' haven't heard of it (D4d is the Vigo shape.
You can (or could) get different ratios for the import diff. Speak to Owen Bridger at Mayfair Gearbox and Diff. Also chat to Dylan about what ratios he found to be most suitable for the Lexus.
Something to keep in mind is that if you 'lengthen the legs, the strain on the drive-train is increased - if you still have an SFA box, it's not likely to last.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
