Thanks alot for that, yes i read an article/web page where a guy had photos and a very good despription on how to cut the 2WD diff into the beam and rethread the casing so you could bolt it all up, just can't remember where it was.... I'll have a look for it now though, thanks thats been a good help!
Thinking about it and reading what I wronte it makes sense for it to be 1/4 inch off (totalling the 1/2 inch difference).....so please check the thread before cutting.....
no probs mate...It's an easy way to save a grand IMO. as on a 4x4 you'd need crazy power to break a 2wd rear diff.
