oh ok, sorry you are right the rear is a low pinion diff and the front is high pinion, so i would be ok to swap my LSD rear to the front and weld up the rear?

do many people weld up toyota diffs?...im pretty cheap and iv owned a locked front and rear patrol - weleded. and never broke anything

is this a good idea in the rear? or am i going to break somthing, im using jac mac axles which are basically unbreakable....weak point would be the centre i think

What are you going to do with the tie rod if you fit a low pinion centre into the front?
