new daihatsu user but 4wheel drive lover

Forum: 

Hello i will apreciate any help that i can get, i would like to know the following:

1. does the daihatsu rocky comes with diferential lock on both axles and if it doesnt how does it works when offroad

2.where can i get the sun roof hinges.

3.whats the correct type of battery that i should use.

4.last but not least does the 1986 daihatsu share parts with any other small off road like (zusuki,toyota hilux,mitsubishi montero,hyundai galloper etc).

Hello, and wellcom. 1) No

Hello, and wellcom.

1) No it does not have diff locks. Both Fourtrak and Spotrak are old fashoned part time 4x4's. Ie. They are rear wheel drive on the road. (driving the rear axle through a normal diff). And only 4x4 when you select it. When you do this 50% of the engines drive is put to each axle, where the diff does it's normal job in each one. You can still get stuck if one wheel on each axle is spinning, but I'm sure you know how to deal with this, as you are an old lover of 4x4's in general?

2) Sorry. No idea, apart from normal 4. Main Dealer, Breakers Yard, Motor Factors or E-bay.

3) As above.

4) Yes and No? Some parts are interchangible between the two Daihatsu's. Also some engine parts are compatible with some Toyota vehicles (as they are the same engines), but not necesarily 4x4 Toyota's.
