I don't have sliders just shitty old ARB steps (mach 1 bend a lot) with the top plate missing cos they don't fit anymore, but am thinking of making myself some. :) Have seen a few good examples on here that i might pinch a few idea's from tho. :D

Just got some interesting info patrol4wd.org
Diff ratio and rear housing can be picked from the transaxle code.
The 2 digit number signifies the diff ratio and the letter code signifies the housing
ie HG 46 - 4.625 H233b rear diff
HH41 _4.111 H260 rear diff Leaf sprung utes 3.0L and 4.5L gotr these
Usual numbers are 39-3.9 , 4.1 -4.111 , 43 - 4.375 and the wanted model is 46 - 4.625
H260 rear diff has ratios of 4.111 and 4.375 only
H233b has all the rest .That was in their archives
Just went and had a look then mine says HH43 or 4.375 got to be happy with that thought i would only have 4.1 at the best :) :D
