Cyfun Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hey Randy, speaking of Quantums, just saw this on Bozeman craigslist. You should get it, if only to sell to me when I can get my rump roast out there. Would make for a ***************in parts car, or to leave as is, or to try and lift! http://bozeman.craigslist.org/cto/2696303262.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyfun Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 So what other IFS diffs might work for a rearend swap? A Toyota front IFS? Frankenstein the Toyota inners to the Subaru outer CVs? Or swap the locking Toyota hubs over completely? I'm guessing there are clearance issues with truck IFS diffs, but if you've got your diff dropped for a lift anyway, would that provide enough clearance?

Idasho Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I dont think the issues you are going to find will be related to clearance. they will be related to gearing. Most people are looking for a locker for a non t-cased Subaru. That means the rear diff needs to match whatever ratio they already have.

Cyfun Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yeah, mine's got 3.90s, but luckily Soob made 4.11s. Were those in the automatics? But wait, you say most folks who want lockers are in newer soobs without a high/low tcase? I would have thought most who have a subaru for offroading are in an ea82 or ea81 specifically because it has lowrange. If you've got a newer car with AWD, then your offroading is probably mostly higher speed stuff such as mudding and rallying, in which case LSD works well enough. Amiright?

Idasho Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Did you even read my post? I said nothing about newer subarus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Sure, but who has an old Subaru that doesn't have a tcase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ah, thats where you got confused. Do not confuse the stock 4wd (single range or hi/low) with a t-cased Subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostema4328 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 As I posted earlier. the rear diff from an expedition or explorer with IFS would work most likely. You should be able to find a locker for one of those and probably a 4.1 3.9 I dont think is a factory ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ah okay, you mean with a Frankensteined transfer case from another vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
