Re: Just fitted sammy axles but!!

Well I'm running 31's at the moment but would go to 33's if some tyres or wheels with tyres came up at the right price. Would def have to go back to a 410 t box then tho.

Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ

I've just recently done a derv conversion on mine. Isuzu 1.5 turbo mated to a Carlton gearbox. Engine stroke + gearbox ratios and being a 410 made it sooo low geared I barely got 60mph out of it flat out on the road.

Re: lock right diff

Price difference even if they did fit 410's would sway me to give the lock right a try. Is it worth putting one front and rear tho??
