Looking good, mate you've done well. It looks like you kept the rear lower links straight. Did you end up fabbing new lower mounts for it? Also, how did you end up doing the upper ball joint area?
Cheers

The lower mounts are the stock patrol ones just moved inboards. The ball joint is still there, just cut the mount off the rangie diff and connected it in the right spot on the GQ diff on a plate. Will try to get a better photo of it.\

All the rear arms are stock rangie, shocks are in stock rangie positions f&R, rangie springs are used, all front arms are stock patrol execpt for the steering arm and panhard, that are modified to have the rangie ends on 1 end.

It means if I break down in the middle of nowhere I can get a sock replacement part.

It's still got some distance to go. But there are some vibes at freeway speeds on trailing throttle that I will look at this week.

geez mate, when you say you'll post some pics you don't leave anyone wanting. looks like a top job all round.
i take it this way of upgrading diffs is cheaper/better than the usual upgrades that people do to overcome the factory weak parts.
hmmm.. a nissan diffed rangie, sounds like the perfect weapon, some more food for my thoughts.
