Topic: hy-pinion or v-6 front end? Pro's and cons?

[flyin ryan]

Have an 85 yota.  In the market for a front third with 5.29 and arb.  Which gears are more durable.  Are the bearing sizes the same?  Is the hy-pinion as strong as the v-6 rear third?  What do you suggest? Thanks!

If you are going forward then the hi pinion is stronger but if you get a front tire wedged and you need to use reverse to get out then the V6 3rd would be stronger in that instance.  I run a hi pinion and I dont wedge my junk so I dont ever worry about it.
