Apparently This Diff I Can't Break... We'll See About That!! 

3:50 yes, the grinder produces some heat, but on the structural hollow sections, cutting them length-wise releases stresses built in from manufacturing. Cut a face out of square hollow section (SHS) or rectangular hollow section (RHS) and it's usual for the remaining piece to spring inwards a little. The face cut from the section, as you've shown, will nearly always curl back on itself. Use a jigsaw with a metal blade, which produces far less heat than a grinder, and it will still curl back on itself.

Leaving oil in your housing also helps to dissipate heat

Ho Chi Minh safety shoes with socks ...good one Sam

You'll find that's a dial gauge not a feeler gauge. Two different measuring tools.

Good shit Sam Keep it up ❤

Good viddy Sam. Love your work

Harrop, Yeek!! Have a look at the small diameter hemisphere. They could have made it bigger and stronger, it is a lot smaller than the powerlock LSD. Also, the cross-shaft in the Eaton is piss-weak, three piece and pissy diameter. Small spider gears inside a small carrier. The locking engagement ring is also a weak area - and then there is the issue of it unlocking when you change direction! In comparison to a Pro-locker, the Eaton is a joke.

Thankyou Sam for all the content you put up 👏. You have to give credit where credit is due, you have got a pretty high level set of skills for a young man and than most of us that watch your show ... Myself included . 👍👍👌

It’s great watching you break everything so I can build mine right the first time hahahahaha awesome vid as always!! Pull my Ls2 out of a wreck on Thursday!! Pumped

Like your japans safe boots, nice job Sam. You can put some centres in each end to spin it and then find someone with a big press to straighten it out. Cheer's.

Good Job. Now let’s launch some rocks. To minimize distortion make shore there are no gaps between the two parts being welded together. Grind and test fit grind and test .again . Fussy grinder better finish.

lol thats my picture of the diff at the 50 second mark. and it just went to heaven about 6 weeks ago after 4 years of duramax pain followed by 12 months of LSA abuse.

Thought you were already using a h260, no wonder you're going through diffs, poor little h230 with all that power going through it hahaha nice one mate hopefully holds up a bit better

Can`t wait to see you try break your diff now at landcruiser park, well done sam!! :) i`ve gone into a diff once and that backlash shit is something to get your head around aright :(

Whens the 80 coming back?

Love the videos

Blew my H260 driving to work one morning, poor old girl had a big weekend and didn't like Monday. Was in a MQ/GQ Patrol ute. Was told at the time no one had ever seen that diff die like that.

Watched as soon as I got notified

H260 was also fitted to some early ZD30 MT variants

The intro explains why the diff keeps breaking 😜

After seeing the Crown wheel from a 90 degree angle it al makes sense. "It's all coming together".

Hey Sam. Nissan also make a H260 with full floating axles in some leaf sprung GU's If you start snapping axles, I'd be keen to see if the full floater is stronger

Hey Sam great video you forgot to mention to change to the HH260 diff you will also need the shorter tail shaft as the nose of the diff is longer!!

Lol that box section didn't move from heat. It moved because of the way it's made it's under tension so when you cut it up it pulls back out

Love the safety thongs bro !! 😂

1:25 his lying guys yes we do......😂

Love the work boots, what brand are they? Might have to get some myself

I like your work shoes 👞 👌

6 months from now... Pwo gday guys, gonna chuck this 9 inch in me ute today.

So did you use your old diff gear, crown + pinion from the H233 on the H260 ? Or did you buy new diff ratios for the bigger diff. I have the H260 bigger diff and really want to use 3.5 or 3.9 ratios, but can't find any.

Why an E-Locker ? ARB makes a locker for H260 also. The E-Locker engages and disengages everytime you change direction.

Trending number 18 on youtube according to youtube stats 🤙💪

mint

As you own a patrol you are very prone to break things so good luck with the diff

I have the same welding helmet

love the fashion bloke

Get a cold cut circ saw

Yeah mate still go through these in my 4.8😂

What rust proofing is it that you used

🔥

Dana60 with 35 spline?

Gold

I see you're wearing your safety thongs Sam. Nice work.

That v8 in there is why your breaking components sam.

Hey Sam, can we all see more Mac and tj in the vids

Feeler guage=× Dial guage indicator=yeap

Are you going to SSS ?

Sup bro got black duck covers

How heavy is you car? Like I don’t think you need the much tbh that’s my opinion I could go 4WD when I get my first 4WD as my first car and start off-roading

whats happening to the other bullbar you were making up for the patrol ages ago?

“You don’t want welders flash”. Next shot is him welding without gloves

I don't know if you changed the front diff centre as well, but if you didn't know, your front and rear axles will have different speeds at the wheels creating torsion and stress within the axels. Also, your odometer is also probably out of alignment as it is but it will definitely be worse with this diff centre changed. Also, if the previous diff centre used red lock tight, it needs heat to liquefy the lock tight in order for you to remove the bolt, you will also need to do the same thing with the new diff if you ever need to remove the crown gear again.

Friend to friend, you won’t break the H260 !

How come you didn't do a custom dana 60?

H260 different ratio to the zd30 diffs. You'll probably have troubles in 4wd at road speeds but I could be wrong

Love how Sam says to wear a long sleeve to protect from the welder when still in thongs.

how much for your old e locker :P

Love the safety thongs 👍

Curious as to why you wouldn't do preheating of the diff housing before welding to assist with stopping warping.

Also came in some zd30 models

What gear ratios are you running? I'm struggling to find 4.6's for the h260?

This was a different video mate!

He looks like Robert downie Jr but australian

did u get the welds inspected by a certified boiley

Regardless of welding technique, method of welding or amount of heat - that diff will be bent like a banana. If you didn't check it for straightness and correct it.... You'll be crushing bearings and binding axles in no time.

The ls will destroy all yor patrol parts lol. Beter trying a race style diff changed to 4bb spec. Those beams wont do shit with a supercharged l98.. goodluck

I thought that was meant to be the clean side of your workshop?

"perfect for welding in" Me: So why does it have reflective tape on it? Anyone who does more than 5 minutes of welding would know this hahaha

can't wait to get that shirt so i dont get welders flash..... wut

Nothing us unbreakable

I have been watching this channel for over two years, there have been no "built not bought" for some time, selling T-shirts and advertisements with sentiment I return to the episodes from 2017-2018

Why not go 9inch? Serious question

I read the pinion on the H260 is still weak can anyone confirm this

Oh dam I'm here early 6th

4th

why not GQ diffs?

Easy to break constant stuff if the sponsors pay all the damage.

It’ll break.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

And then he rolls it

Chinese safety boots 🤣🤣

Mate, reality check, you need to put $$ into the 80 series cruiser, she won't let you down. You've proven time and time again Patrols weak, break when you need them to be awesome and even Fraser Island towing states they are the number one vehicle they tow off the island (one a day this week already)!! Just saying. But back to the work you did. Nice job but is that bracing water tight? If not put some holes in so you can flush inside the bracing with fresh water after a big trip.

So what are the legalities of this. Does it have to be signed off by an engineer?

Can't beat the thongs

That’s a stiff diff

Please dont go to that park, you will roll your patrol

The reality we can't ignore; 1. When you die the real you( the spirit inside your body) either goes to Heaven or hell. 2. Who goes to hell? those who don't believe at Christ as the savior. e. Who goes to Heaven? Those who believe at Christ as the savior. No works can save you, there is no physical thing you can do to get saved but you are only saved through faith at what Jesus did for you as simple as that. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. In other words if you want to go to heaven after your death you must confess with your mouth and believe that Jesus Christ was crucified and he shed his blood for your sins at the cross and was buried but risen again on the third day and alive in heaven now. After believing at Christ as the savior you must change your ways and try to stay away from bad works or sins as hard as possible, you must show that you are a new individual in Christ. e.g stopping fornication, getting drunk, homosexual acts, masturbation, pornography e.t.c. As a human you will still fall at some sins of course as no human is perfect, but you must not swim in sin you must try your best to fight against sins and live a righteous life. Also grow in the word; I suggest the following RU-vid channels; Real bible believers, Robert Breaker and Pastor J.D Farag..

should just switch to toyota :)

first

Welding in thongs nice.

You talk about Welder's flash with the new shirt but you are still wearing thongs and no gloves..... hmmm....

Not worth enduring the ads for this crap.
