Theres a few variants in the Surfs, you'd have to confirm with your axle code listed on the plate under the bonnet. Theres a website you can look it up on.

Most common were 4.56 and 4.88 from memory.

Why pootrol?

wont they be heaps wider than the rear?

i used a 79 series front it is the same width as your ifs rear

if you put an airlocker and a set of aftermarket ring and pinion and long feilds it is tough as

Because the gq diff is all ready to go. and 79 series diff is hard to come buy and if you do get one they won't be as cheap as a gq.

$500 each is not bad at all.

Just one other prob, anyone know how or where i can get my guards flared. they look mad when done prop, could you just drop them into a fibreglass shop and get them to fab it???
