which mount, there are 3. is it the one that bolts to the crossmember just underneath where the front tailshaft goes in?
i broke this one when i hit it on a rock. i took it to a specialist welding place and the guy was able to tig weld a chunck of aluminium onto it then drill new holes........all while it was still in the car .........its held up perfectly to this day

I'll have to get a pic uploaded later - unfortunately I don't have my camera cable here... It's a little hard to explain.
Basically, the mount on the passenger side snapped cleanly in two (bolts to the chassis) - so now the diff is hanging down, and the CV is binding on the control arm. I tied the diff up to get home, but there's no way I'd drive any distance like that.
Think I'm just going to have to hire a car for the rest of the week 'til I've got some time to look at this
I was just doing a pretty easy climb, on fairly loose dirt. The rear right wheel dropped into a hole and the front left was up in the air. That was when I heard it crack. So I'm guessing the chassis must've flexed? Funnily enough, I've got a pic of about the time that it all hapenned too.
Pull the front diff out, its not hard you can do it without pulling the front wheels off. I drove my GV around for 2 weeks without the front diff, while i was doing the locker install. Just thinking this will only work if you have manual hubs.
. It's cast iron, but is going to take about a week to get a replacement, and I can't do my job without a car.
