It’s not all flash toys getting our attention to detail

Here we have 2 Hilux diffs we are having to rebuilt after their owner bought from somewhere else as a rebuilt unit and failing quickly and then not standing up to back their work

Was easy to see what some of the other suppliers of exchange diff options in Nz don’t treat a rebuild the same as us and why getting from a actual diff rebuilder gets you a lot more for usually very little extra cost

We have all the correct tooling to do the job correctly and we fully strip and check everything every time no guessing plus install upgrades to everything we to build to make it as strong as possible

This is why we offer the best in the industry of up to 24 month and 30,000km warranty for many of exchange options (conditions do apply)

Custom drop in packages to suit your vehicle

We don’t just sell you a box we design a solution

Not every car just needs a 9”

We find that most cars would benefit from something smaller and more efficient to be able to use your toy more

Even for a lot of smaller cars that the go to was a Hilux we have much better options that are lighter better wheel bearing and brake options

Borg Warner based options are the best option for many of these vehicles

With ratios of 2.77 to 4.11 can be matched to most common engine gearbox and wheel combos

Axles in 28 and 31 spline to handle anything you give it

We have drum and disk brake options to suit 13” up to big 340mm to fill up the 20” wheels

We can supply a drop in package to suit most vehicles with just hook up the brake hose and connect hand brake cable bolt straight in to factory and know you have a rear end you can depend on

Have many great traction options to suit you best

Is it time to sort your rear end for good

Due to our workload we have a wait time so get In touch to get in the queue if needing something this season
