Tough Dog suspension for Toyota VX 200

Monday 19 July 2010 - Filed under LiftKits + Shocks + Springs

This is the list of all Tough Dog suspension parts for Toyota Land Cruiser VX 200. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when shopping for liftkits to the VX 200 Land Cruiser, but I have listed those where they are relevalt.

Note: Due to the front to rear rake of this vehicle, the rear can ONLY be lifted 20mm. The front will come up 40mm to level the vehicle out.

I took the time to build this list for the users of my other website LandcruiserV8.com, since I had recived a number of emails regarding spare part numbers for those models.

Aussie Locker automatic differential lock

Thursday 17 June 2010 - Filed under Diff locks

When I was looking for a new diff lock for my brothers Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70, I found the Aussie Locker automatic differential lock. I knew there were a few automatic differential locks on the market, but I must admit I knew very little about how they worked, how reliable they were, or how to install them.

If you can install a set of brakes you can install the Aussie Locker

The fact that its very cheap and everyone can install it, the only thing left to look at is how it works, and how it is to use Off Road.

TJM Pro Locker diff lock

Wednesday 16 June 2010 - Filed under Diff locks

I was on the hunt for a alternative to the ARB airlocker, and came across TJM Pro Locker. It’s a air-operated differential lock like the ARB airlocker. They use a air operated piston style actuator, that aim to eliminate the risk of oil being pumped up the airline. Larger pinion gears, stronger materials and a thicker carrier makes the TJM a very interesting diff lock, and I look forward to getting my hand on one in the future.
