didnt realise hiaces were 4x4....!!!!!!! i know they are leaf sprung, but i really dont have a clue bout other questions, as they are so specific. never heard of anyone using a hiace axle on a rally car, sounds impressive.

sorry cant help, love to see pics though when finished

Well those are some fairly broad questions.

For starters the Hiace has been in production for nearly 3 decades and in that time the specs have changed enormously.

I would say they are nearly all,if not all,drums on the rear.

Diff ratios are most likely 3.7 4.11 or 4.56.

All leaf sprung as far as I know.

The hiace shares some engines with the 2wd and 4wd Hilux and Cressida so they may share the diffs also.

There are 4wd versions but are normally badged as a Townace which is a passenger version of a Hiace.

If you dont have Hiace in your area to look at you might want to invest in a workshop manual
