If you're looking for a set of 4.10 e-lockers, just call your local junkyard. They're very easy to find.

Now we are getting somewhere.

Jim, have you tried to install a hi-mount front diff?

Also, the 4.56 gear set is very intriguing to me.

Tim, hopefully this will make yaa feel a little better... I just got done watching the YouTube vids and LOVE your lightweight Land Rover. Everything you've done to it. The old skool Warn, paint, hardtop, wheel offset, the complete look. Perfect keeper.

do you mean high pinion?

I don't use the high-pinion front diffs as I run Mercedes diesels in my trucks and they would give me a clearance problem up front. I'm not a big fan of the h/p diffs but they're certainly an option.

Thanks but I have to admit that it came to me pretty much set up like that. It was a good find and has been a good truck but I can't take all the credit for the look.

Everyone else. This is exactly the sort of info I was hoping to get out of the group. Thanks all for the links and information. There is a lot to take in but this will help me make my decision.

Cheers!
