24 splines into Rangie Diff

Post by Vogue »

I went up to Mt Dissapointment on Saturday and destroyed my rear diff in my '89 Rangie.
I'm looking at buying a detroit locker in a Rangie diff housing. The guy has been running JMac 24 spline axles.
So the question is can i run standard disco 24 spline axles? Is the hub the same as the origional 10 spline that would have origionaly been in the diff.
I know the strength may be an issue, but i'm only running 32" muddies.

Thanks

Alex

I believe you will need to use the 24spline stub axle, hub and bearings. That is what I did anyway :)
Should cost ~$220 for the stub axles, hubs and axles.

Hi

we put a Jac Mac Locker in Disco Dave rear and used the 24 spline later model Disco axles, bolted straight in. So far so good.

24 spline axles should fit RRs rear housing although I'm not sure if you will need the D1 or D2 hubs too - I think there were some slight differences in the hub offsets though I don't think this affects the axles. Anyhow, if needed, D1 D2 hubs are cheap and fit straight on - same bearings.
Nice gq swb ute chop with a huffer for the good times
