Why GQ diffs?
You do know you can build toyota diffs alot stronger then GQ diffs.

I think a set of Longfield would cost less, and be much less work, than putting a nissan diff under there

Plus Rob allready has arb's in the cruiser diffs, well atleast one anyway.

and Jess. If he spent $1200 (approx) on 30 spline chromo cv's, inner axles and hub gears, then got cyro gears which I'm guessing would be around $1000 max he would have a diff that is stronger then Nissan and without all the BS of fitting them. Plus he doesn't have to loose money on selling his ARB's and buying Nissan ones.
Whats a GU front cost? Around $2000? (I have no idea.)
So if you stop and think about it more then just "Nissan crap is best" you might just see that putting GQ diffs under a 40 that allready has diff locks (atleast one) is a farking stupid idea. The ONLY way it would be wise would be if you had the GQ diffs for free or close to and you didn't allready have arb's.

I remember somebody putting GQ diffs under his hilux thinking it was going to solve all his problems, well he sold it as it was worse.
