D22 Navara Solid Axle Swap Ep 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2021
- Finally started converting my D22 Navara from independent front suspension to solid axle.
This episode involved a lot of dismantling and preparing to get to bare chassis along with preparing the ZD/RD gearbox to match the diff input side. Using the RD transfer is also an upgrade as it is bigger and stronger and the Navara transfers often fault.
In my next episode I'll be giving a rundown of all the gear I'm using to do this swap.
I'll share my progress on each episode and answer as many question as I can along the way. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

dude youve won a like just because of the bravery, one must be crazy to do this, not a job for anyone indeed. congrats!
Thanks mate considering it’s still in my shed I haven’t achieved a whole lot but I’ll get back to it eventually 👍🏻
Awesome video, well documented and gave me a good idea if I could to my d22. Keen to see engineering/mod plate side of things to get it legal on the road.
Thanks for the lesson
Thanks mate, engineering is a bit confusing as they all say something different but I’ll definitely get it plated somehow 👍🏻
Top job mate. 👍
Thanks mate 🤙🏻
Awesome stuff mate, can't wait to see who done your kit ad im looking for one for mine
thanks mate, the kit is from Crawl Customs I’ll go over it more next episode but you can see pictures of it almost completed on his page. It’s not yet available but shouldn’t be too far off 👍🏻 follow his Facebook page, he posts updates with pics and it looks awesome 🤙🏻
cmon mate keen as to see ep 2
sassing my jackaroo in a couple months so keen to see how you go about everything
Haha I’m working on it😂 very slow progress probably upload pt 2 next week 🤞🏻
if you decide to get rid of the airbox and snorkel I'm looking for one
Did you just smashed that mozzie with the hammer? That's savage man, new Subbie here planning on doing the same thing on my D22 Navara, keep them vids coming cheers mate 👍😁
Haha yea managed to catch him with the hammer, great to hear mate 🤙🏻
Hey Reubs, just subscribed ! Love the content however I have a question, I’m curious to know why you did this instead of just buying a patrol to wheel in. Was it because of sentiment ? Or was it because u need the ute platform for work but also wanted to wheel it hard
Hey mate great question, there’s a few reasons why. Partly due to sentiment and wanting to do something different. If I bought a patrol it would be much like every other one that you see on the road and I felt it would be more of a challenge to take the d22 that people often disregard and overlook and turn it into something people admire. There’s a lot of other benefits in terms of the physical characteristics of the nav and this swap too 👍🏻
Nice vids man. You have PSR UCAs, what ball joints are you using? You machined the lip?
Thanks mate, I sold the UCAs as I wont be needing them anymore but I hadnt needed to change the ball joints. I've heard the PSR ball joints dont hold up too well but mine were ok.
Fuck yeah dude!!
Thanks mate 🤙🏻
Absolutely stoked you’re videoing this mate! I’ve got a yd d22 twin lock on 35s and I’ve put a d40 turbo on it and now I’ve broken a few cvs and im about to sas it too, got a couple of questions, are you getting it engineered? I don’t know about zd30 sump will it clear the tail shaft now? Or run a patrol sump? Im in two minds because I’ll have to cut and change the sump or just run stock transfer and cut and flip the diff
That sounds like a weapon, no surprise the 35s are breaking CVs. I do plan on getting it engineered, and the sump will need to be modified. Crawl Customs has designed and manufactured my kit as a test fit for ZD30 Navs but he has done the same on his YD25 nav. Although the YD25 is more involved like you said, from memory he has designed the YD25 kit to use custom front diffs. If you go to his facebook page you can see pictures of the rig.
How come you do choose to SAS is? I bought my d22 just before christmas for 8k so I doubt it would worth a sas. Is torsion bars a problem? I'm not all familiar with all the navara suspension setups.
@@nutil6675 there’s not necessarily a problem with torsion bars, they serve they’re purpose along with IFS. But they’re not very good for off-road as they’re fragile and don’t get much travel. I decided to SAS because I kept on breaking parts without driving it rough, decided to build it properly so it will last 👍🏻
Hey mate, did you need to change anything when you put the d40 turbo on and is just one from a stock d40?
Looking good mate well done👌
Wondering who you got the sas kit from? Do you know if they make it to suit a 80 series Landcruiser diff?
Thanks mate I got the kit from Crawl Customs but they’re not available just yet. As for the cruiser diff the mounts wouldn’t be too hard to change to suit the diff I’m just not too sure how different the diffs are👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications cheers mate I'll keep an eye out for them.
The only reason why I'm looking for the 80 series sas is its only 30mm wider than the nav
Nice build!
I have a question, are the rd28 and zd30 transfer cases interchangeable? Or they have different bolt pattern...?
Not entirely sure as I tried a few combinations but I'm pretty sure the RD28 transfer case pattern was different to the Nav ZD30 transfer case. Although maybe the patrol ZD30 shares the same pattern.
Hi friend. I follow you and I like your work !! Could you make a simple video of which pipes I will solve and clean the radiator heating system? The radiator of the radiator is obviously clogged and does not bring me hot air in the cabin. Thanks in advance.
Yeah mate I can look into that. There are two hoses on top of the engine that go into the cabin through the firewall on the driver side. These are the heater hoses and they go to the heater core in the dash. It is common for the heater cores to deteriorate but that often means they leak inside the car.
Que difirencial uso? Y cual era la relacion.
Hey mate doing a sas on my nav as well, is it zd30 gearbox with rd transfer or rd gearbox n transfer with zd internals ?
I used the RD internals as my ZD ones weren’t great so I used RD transfer, gearset and box with the ZD Bellhousing 👍🏻
This is crazy
Haha just your basic lift kit 😂🤙🏻
Do you need like a special certificates for this stuff or do we just do it up anyways?
To have this vehicle registered it will need to be signed off by an engineer, while you don't need to be a certified person to carry out the work yourself it is difficult to find an engineer who is willing to sign off on an unqualified persons work.
Is the reverse light sensor hard to change? And where does it sit?
Hey mate it can be a little tricky with the gearbox in the car, it sits just in front of the Neutral Position Switch. I have a video on how to replace the NPS that might help 👍🏻
We’re did you procure the coil over towers?
Crawl Customs, he is developing a SAS Kit and I have one of the first kits to test fit. Follow his Facebook page to see his progress 👍🏻
Hey mate just have a question where can I get this kit from :)
Hey mate the kit is made by Crawl Customs but they aren’t available just yet
Hi, where is the ep 2? 😁
Lovely project!!!
Thanks mate ep 2 might be a bit of a wait. Very slow progress...
@@ReubsModifications thanks mate, i finish navara bmw m57 engine conversion and solid axle will be the next project... I will keep my eyes in your youtube pag 👍👍💪
@@rodrigosanta4703 that’s awesome is that the 3L in-line 6? And thanks mate 🤙🏻
@@ReubsModifications yes mate 3.0 cc. 6 cylinders 💪
That’ll be awesome 🤙🏻
Hey mate, did you swap the gearing inside the box for the patrol stuff. Or can you just replace the transfer with a 2.8 one, keep the nav box standard and call it a day, cheers
Hey mate I did take the rd gearing as well as my nav gearing was buggered. With my gearbox it wasn’t possible to just swap the transfer as the bolt pattern was different. I think my gearbox and transfer came from a GQ, as the pattern was different and I also had to drill and tap the housing for the NPS 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications fair enough! I’ll have to try and get my hands on a gu box and see how it goes!
@@thomaswhelan970 let me know how it goes, it’d be very interesting to see what changes there are between the gearbox models 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications sure will! Mines going on a gq chassis so I’m wondering which way would’ve been easier to go, sas or cab swap haha
@@thomaswhelan970 From what I’ve heard the cab swap is easier depending on how much extra stuff you’re doing at the same time
Do you still have the tie rods?
All my PSR gear sold but I still have the factory parts
Custom rear bar?
Yeah custom rear bar but I didn’t make it myself
This a patrol front diff?
Yeah mate GU patrol diff 👍🏻
Do you know how far off crawl customs are from selling to the public?
Hey mate I don’t have a time frame but I know his car isn’t far off being finished as he’s got it running now
how much for the front drive
Hey mate if you’re asking for the front d22 diff it has already sold 👍🏻
Can you do mine next? :)
Maybe see how this one turns out first 😂
How come your not using the navara rear diff?
Doing a custom set up in the rear, using the patrol diff in the rear matches the front diff ratio, track width and with disk brakes 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications i understand but if i did want to use a patrol rear diff could i use the front alone and match the oem rear diff with the patrol one because my rear diff has a arb locker
@@justin_v_soogrim3728 yeah you could do that if the ratios were the same 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications that's what my main concern was because I've seen on forums where people would patrol swap they would do put front and rear which made me concern as I thought I would have to get 2 diffs instead of one because really I just want to make the front stronger
@@justin_v_soogrim3728 yeah there isn’t anything in the rear end of navs that breaks too often, they do quite well
Можно ссылку на комплект, или чертёж?
Hello, I do not own the designs to this kit so I cannot share them. However you may be able to purchase the kit if you contact Crawl Customs now known as Warrego Metal Works.
Starting to think you should just swap a Nav body onto a GU chassis.
I was looking into chassis swap vs SAS and it was hard to decide but with chassis swap you have the same suspension setup as patrols whereas this SAS kit is better and I’ll hopefully have a 4 link rear too👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications Shame you are not going to the Patrol engine & gearbox.
@@bentheguru4986 I’m using the RD gearbox and transfer with my bellhousing, I think the other patrol boxes are too big for the Nav tunnel. And the CRD would be a better but I’ll see what the limits are of the DI 🤙🏻
@@ReubsModifications Patrol DI has more go than the Nav desptie only minor diffeences in the engine, ECU on the other hand will be different tune. Just not fan of the weaker boxes in the Nav and RD28 side.
@@ReubsModifications As for the DI, get the boost up around 16-18PSI and good intercooler (W2A is great for Nav's) along with being rid of the EGR side, they strong enough to break traction easily in a Nav.
Bende de aynı araçtan var. 4 çekere aldığım zaman, 3.000 devir civarında bir bir çırpma büyük bir çarpma sesğ geliyor. Sanki arka diferansiyelden geliyor gibi. ama diferansiyel kaynaklı değil. Bir tamirci şanzıman zinciri uzamış dedi. Zincir atma yapıyor dedi. Şanzıman zincirini değiştirdim. Ama maalesef sorun tamamen çözülmedi. 4 çekeree rampa yukarı zorlarsam aynı sesi ara sıra duyuyorum. Tok bir ses ve alttan gelen büyük bir titreşim/darbe sesi. Sanki dişli bir dişli kırılmış gibi bir his! Bir fikri olan var mı? Neden ?
Hey mate, its common on the D22 Navara's for the transfer case chain to stretch, if the repair was not done properly or with used parts it may not solve the problem of the chain skipping.
Another cause for clunking and banging in 4x4 can be the front CVs and is more common in cars that have suspension lift, it causes the CVs to bind and release the torsion resulting in the clunking noise, however this noise would come from the front of the vehicle.
I would suggest getting the wheels up off the ground and put the car into 4x4 and try turning the wheels back and forth to find if there is any issues with the rear diff and follow forward to the transfer case.
@@ReubsModifications Thanks. I Will tray this.
I wanted a Toyota, but found a cheap nav im doing a top end rebuild on. i got to say ill never buy or recommend one they are the worst cars. I appreciate your videos its helping me with my build but dam these are uselesss 4x4
No worries mate, did you get the ZD or the YD?
