Would love to see you guys bring an Arm style diff drop for the 200 series to the market! So much better than spacer style!

Well done with the video and explaining along the way👍. The inner L/H CV joint still looks to be on a severe angle at full lower travel. You would think that joint at that angle would fail under extreme load.
@tyrellmay9260 Жыл бұрын
It's at that angle cause it's on the hoist, once the weight is down they should level up abit

Any chance this kit work on US 5th Gen 4 Runners? if not any plans on making a kit for US 5th Gen4 Runners?

It doesn't. I reached out to them directly for 4runner's, tacomas, Gx's and they got back to me about it stating that it wont fit.

I don't suppose there'll be some kind of exchange or discount program for those of us already with the N80 underbody protection kit.
@KAONaust Жыл бұрын
At this stage, a used-gear program is not really the kind of thing we're able to support operationally, but it would be a fantastic thing to be able to do in future. That said, if you have the full kit, the Trans guard wouldn't need to be swapped out. We've currently got a front and sump set to suit this Diff Drop in progress. Our best suggestion with the front and sump would be to try selling it on.

great video. Can you please confirm if the diff centre contacts the steering rack at all after being dropped? I have a kit at the moment where this is the case and i am looking to change it beacuse of that?
@KAONaust Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Great question. Our does not contact the steering rack at all after being dropped, clearing both it and the cross member by about 10mm. We have seen other options on the market with claims for lower drops that do often result in vehicle components fouling.
@DavidLee-bm1sw Жыл бұрын
Hey Lay, just a quick question. Why didn’t you guys over at KAON, engineer in the extra mounting point for the diff drop arm on the drivers side of the car, like they do with other brands like phat bars and psr etc? Is it just not needed? Or is the way the KAON ones are built higher in strength? Thanks
@KAONaust Жыл бұрын
Hey David, great question. When designing the diff drop our philosophy was to retain as much of the Toyota design principles as possible, whilst still achieving the optimum drop required to correct CV angles. In our experience, the extra mount increases the potential for drivetrain vibrations by making one side in particular too rigid.
@hiluxmax2709Ай бұрын
No such thing as too rigid, especially with the loads and torque in low range when loaded up. Have used these setups a lot with full front to back bracing and there superior results with no additional vibration.

Looks so good :) Do both the Stock Toyota Underbody Protection and also the Kaon Underbody Protection fit with this Kaon Diff Drop Kit?
@KAONaust2 жыл бұрын
Hi there! At this stage we can't confirm it's compatibility with the Factory Toyota sump guard, but it is unlikely. Our current N80 & Fortuner guards are going through a revision to be compatible, which we'll be adding soon. Our recently released N70 guards are compatible - just select the Diff Drop option. Hope that helps!

What is this for?
@KAONaust3 ай бұрын
That's a complex question! But in a nutshell, it lowers your diff, which after installing a lift can often be necessary for IFS vehicles to ensure correction of CV angles.
