airlocker exchange

Im wondering if someone could tell me if an air locker (arb) out of a bj73 mid wheel base landcruiser 1985 would fit into the rear of a 1994 4.2 litre 80 series. They both have the standard diffs that the factory put in them.
thanks rusty

Re: Cat 5 for relays?

My advice is dont use it in auto applications, all cabling in a vehicle should be multi strandard. Using solid conductor wiring ie shielded or unshielded twisted pair will only lead to fatigue at any joint or point of vibration and cause issues for you. There are plenty of other multicore stranded ...

Gu To Gq ajustable drag link

Please help.
I am able to get a set of ajustable drag links both front and rear off a GU but Im unsure if they will fit on my 1992 GQ ute. Is there any truth that they will fit as long as the gu was manufactured before 2002.
