    Where in Perth do you hang out? There are good independents around - mine is in Rivervale, and others like a guy in Wangara.

    Hi, don't know of anyone down your way, although there was someone who was running a garage down there that allowed for interested parties to use their tools, hoists etc for maintenance and repairs.

    Darren at Aztec 4x4 in Rivervale is a goodun' independent, but I'm not sure if you want the work done, or to do your own thing (possibly with some constructive help or advice)?
    Plenty of technical advice on here once you work out how to search, and LOTS of gurus.

    All the best.

    any ABS-equipped RRC or D1 diff will suit. you need the vented front callipers from the RRC.

    *** DO NOT DRIVE IT *** I'm betting you have a broken 'CV joint and its only moving because the center diff lock is in. The '95 probably will be air suspended, so I'm guessing the spring seats will be different.

    I have a set of front and rear axles from a 1997 D1 that I bought for spares if that might help.
    Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
