Hey I’m looking into converting my 2010 sr5 v6 Hilux to a ls2 or ls3. Just wanting to know if my running gear can handle that sort of power and is there anything major that should be upgraded. Cheers

Wouldn’t it be easier to supercharge? 300 odd kw ATW for $10k sounds cheap - and light.

Haven’t been able to find someone that’ll supercharge it for that cheap plus would my motor n gear box be able to handle 300rwkw?

V6 hilux R series gearbox is rated to ~700nm in a 2wd application. Not sure if they downrate them for 4wd.
I would be upgrading the 1st gear thrust washer at a minimum and whatever other Marlin goodies you can afford.
Transfer case should be ok but might stretch chains occasionally
Diffs will require some mechanical sympathy or more $$ thrown at them
