Hi mudder,
I fitted my rear locker and true trac front diffs about a year and a half ago and now wouldn't do without them. The smile that I have every time I just idle through nasty cross-axle sections where previously I would have to carry a lot of momentum, or cruise up hillclimbs that would have been impossible with open diffs is well worth the $1200 they cost, and half a day of fitting!! I find that you can drive obstacles with a lot more precision, and at the same time being much kinder to your vehicle. They seem to be bulletproof, barely noticeable onroad, and you don't have to worry about switching your traction on and off. I would highly recommend for pretty much any defender that is driven offroad.
Was going to suggest pulling them out and checking for a part number, I remember seeing them on mine.Quote:

Hopefully for you they still sell the deeper flanges
I know defender and county axles are different. The county had longer axles and the flanges are thicker as well but the PCD is different. The bearing spacing is wider on the stub axles as well. I wonder if a county axle is the same length as the defender longer ones.
