hi all, after much chasing around i did it, that is swapped out the original worn out d35 and replaced it with a new drum to drum 8.25 with 4.10 gears and standard trak lok,
and to match i swapped out the original d30 for a brand new d30 disc to disc with matching 4.10 gears
i have 4" of lift so my prop shaft fitted ok (1994) just needed new U bolts, and with the new front control arms and shock absorber bushes it drives like a new car. only problem was that the nut case "experts" who did the work put my wedges in back to front and the pinion angles were wrong, so after having a massive disagreement with them i had to spend an hour of my time sorting it out, no bigee but none the less annoying, as i took it to them as they are supposed to know what they are doing
i love the get up and go with the new gears and 31" tyres, all said a great improvement.
next job is to get the a/c going and get a paint job on the bonnet (hood) roof and tailgate
gee,s i love this car
