Probably not just yet, but maybe when I have some extra $$.

The factory locker works well, but IMO it has some inherent weakness due to its locking mechanism. The ARB units are much more robust.

Tell me about it. I haven't been able to source a replacement without spending extravagent amounts of coin, so will just wait for the ARB. I wonder if it will fit into the factory locking diff with the shorter axle and so on...... :roll:

You might have to go back to the normal axle. I kept mine, did you?? They are pretty easy to find anyway.

Yep, kept it and the LSD diff head too., well actually when I did the swap I just changed the entire housing and all, and rolled my old 4.6's under the LWB chassis I still have sitting in the shed.

To put a RD110 in you need to remove the entire front diff.....?
