Dock, I didn't, got slugged an extra $365 worth of duty and other associated fee's. What can you do !

Sandgroper, yeah warranty is voided but only on the bit you have replaced & nothing Ashcroft is going to break so who cares !

Hi Drover any chance sending me the contact at Ashcroft's and part numbers I need to order for the same setup as your rear , so I can get the ball rolling.


Will I be using the original axles or di I need new ones ?

Centre in, air line connected, diff guard on and prop shaft connected. Just waiting on new wheel bearings, oil seals and lock nuts.




After 30,000k's the Ashcroft CV's and 1/2 shafts look like new. No burr's inside the CV's & not a twist or blemish to be seen on the 1/2 shafts.

That's great to know, considering you give your svx a good working over.

hi, excellent set up, if you don't mind me asking what were the costs involved with this diff/ delivery?

Air locker, heavy duty gears, pegged, diff casting and fully set up.
$2400 to the door..
Compared to the cost of an ARB locker - then setting it up, the price is very good. Plus I got HD gears and pegging as a bonus
