Thanks for the info Roo.
I often wonder about reliability issues when vehicles get modified.
Having been down this road years ago, I can say it was fun for a while but I soon got tired of the breakages, bills and down time.
I'm very careful about doing such things now.
It will be interesting to see how these latest modified vehicles fair with a few miles and trips racked up.

So many new hiluxs run 35"s all day every day and wheel hard without issues with front wheel bearings ... Diffs isn't a concern , solid axle Hilux have literally same diff and can run 35"s - 37"s all day and have a lot of mates that do , without issues. My diffs are getting built with nitro gears solid pinion spacers and lockers very soon. I wheel hard stuff, so breakages are allways gonna happen. That's what happens when you do more than a fire trail or shopping mall haha

Haha I know all this allready. Upgrading diffs is allready happening. There's no such thing as a 4by that dosnt require mods to run a bigger tyre. Prado is just as capable as any other rig out there.

There's allways gotta be a hater haha. What I don't like is People saying it can't be done when I've done it and made I work great! I hope people click on. 32" arnt the biggest tyre you can run on a prado.

Good call doing the ratios and spacers. My diffs have been very solid ever since I had that done. The ARB lockers are not without issue though

As for saying it can't be done... You've only just done the mods. Let's see how it goes over the long term.

So how's the Prado handling it's bigger shoes? All nice and strong like you expected?

Looks good mate, well done for having a crack at something most are weary of, I have just gone to 33's and am happy how they went for the 9000km cape n gulf trip. Yeh lux gear can handle big tyres, i have a comp lux on lux gear and run 37" sticky compound tyres and its been fine (so far) though it is asking alot of a small diff regardless of it being built..

But at least your realistic about breaking it.. Just sas it if the front becomes a problem as it seems your not gonna stop modding it (thats what happened with my lux lol)

But you need to realise when people are giving helpful advice or are 'haters' as that was not the case as above mate.

Anyway, keep us informed on what breaks next

Yes it's great to push the limits of what others expect - it's sometimes necessary in order to make progress. However the word through the grape vine is that he's breaking much more than he's telling us, but he's not likely to admit that here

You expect him to tell you otherwise?

Wheel hard vs Wheel smart....

By the way, I picked up the rubbish you left behind...

Plenty of pics and a bit more info on fb. I don't think he gets on here too much.

Depends what you have your truck for. I used to give some of my old trucks a lot of abuse for the fun of it! Wheeling hard is usually a lot more fun if you're willing to deal with the breakages.

[glen_ep Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close glen_ep]

I completely understand the joys of wheeling hard and accepting the breakages. I'll admit to doing it on occasion and I certainly enjoy watching it My only angst is when people say you can do XYZ on forums but don't back it up with the actual technical details of how its done, and most importantly include the negatives and consequences. When people are researching a build they'd like to do, they'll likely to read this thread and get excited about fitting 35's on a Prado, but they won't know about the multiple diff breakages and legal issues that come a long with it.

Ill admit I've broken a rear diff, but so what? Guys are breaking them on 31" road tyres haha! And it was 6 stage at yalwal, possibly Hardest track in Australia, also where 2 twin locked gq's snapped cv's and a solid axle swapped Hilux blew a rear axle and air locker.

I don't get on here much I'm more on the Facebook group because this page is full of old complaining men. I'm 19 years old I don't fit in with you prado owners much. But I spent a hell of a lot of Time on my car , I know it inside out, and I like being the one that pushes the limits Because nobody else will

But I'm confident in the front end - I had to be pulled out of thise track all in front wheel drive bouncing around spinning the front wheels on he limiter just to get out. Even if I broke a cv, it's literally a 15 minute trackside change , I carry 2 cv's with me all the time!

I don't care that it's illegal , that's obvious. But when I do a write up it will appeal to the guys that are eager to get the most out of there prado , not just happy with 32" all terrains. What I don't get it that the prado runs so much gear from other Toyota 4x4's that confidently run big tyres and hardcore rigs. Hilix max runs 35" all day every day hasn't needed to do a wheel bearing in 70,000 of daily driving on 35"s. rear diff is Hilux - which is capable of running big tyres, transfer case is a strong unit- same as Hilux which run bug tyres , it's just you guys think it's out of this world because the typical prado owner does a couple of fire trails now and again.

From here http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post417838

That's bullshit , Comes down to driving ... FJ are super common running 35" tyres , and I have mates that run 37" on a Hilux rear diff which is exactly the same as ours

Prado would handle a 35" easily

I haven't even snapped a cv and I'm running 33" where a mate with an 80 series blew his cv running 33"

And here http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post418078

It seems to me rather than a "diff club" it's a shit driver club...

Just sayin
