Re: 2003 hilux diff drop kit

Thanks for the feedback guys, Gernot which diff drop kit did you use? Are you using just the 2 points to lower the diff and swiveling the 3rd?

2003 hilux diff drop kit

Morning guys. I unfortunately snapped my outer cv joints on my kzte this week-end. To be quite honest I expected this to happen at some stage as I have ball joint spacers, 33 inch wheels and an auto locker....weakest point would be the CVS. Anyway I want to lower the front diff to correct the angle ...

Hi All I encountered a strange issue on my 2003 hilux kzte a few weeks ago, I noticed a very small crack at the bottom of the chassis where the steering box mounts.
