Nope. These have the infamous 12 valve 3.0/auto combo that came with the small front diff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Same size ring gear as the 2.6L front diff but in a high pinion version, so not interchangeable with anything else.

What is with your front grill and front turn signals? Are they a Japanese spec or something?

Not sure on the brakes yet, monte and 52, what did you do? Same MC?
I was going to try the one that is in it. It looks the same as the one in my 93, only difference is a screw. If I need to I will get one from a later model with discs and what ever prop valve it has.
The girll is off of an early model with v6 added I think. I traded a LS grill for it. The blinkers are from a junk yard in Japan. They used those everywhere but here I thihk. I dont have the overseas rear lights, something different with wiring.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I made no changes to the hydraulics. And it's noticable. Stops VERY evenly, and very, very well. The rear pads wear a little quicker than I expected though. I've gone through a set and a half since the swap (including the pads that were on it already). The fronts have worn from 75% to about 40% in the same time.
IMO, it's a cheap trade to make for the increase in stopping power. It's really pretty amazing, especially with the bigger tires.

Cool. I dont mind replacing pads, easy to do. Like you said, good trade off. I always liked the stopping power of the gen2s. Thanks.

I always liked the stopping power of the gen2s. Thanks. I totaly agreed with you on that one! I am very surprise to see how good my genII handles 37s (braking power) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Here's a good article on proportioning valves: Samurai 4-wheel disc although reading around seems most people opt for the 50/50 split, which means just bypass the existing valve. For safety reasons, I'd do some experiments with and without the factory valve connected.

Go ahead, Sparky. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> That's some fine work, man.
Is your field somewhere near Anderson, S.C.?

Yes, very close. It is in Starr, SC. It is my dads friends land, he has a few cars and a barn back there. I usually keep my Toyota there too.

(didn't know you'd swapped in the old style grille! Cool! And euro markers too! Way cool! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> ) Ha... I swapped it with him, I didn't think it looked right on my old LWB.. so the chrome looks better. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
