Re: Different ratio diffs on the same truck
The design doesn't make sense?? You are obviously going to be converting a Safari rear diff which is a solid beam axle to be independant. Why not do two at the same time so you have one for the front?? Or why not just do the same conversion to the Safari high pinion front diff?? It's been a while ...

Re: Pinnacles contacts
Just after you go out of the wee settlement and cross the river, you can leave most of the vehicles at the locked gate and take one on up the road to the house to get the key and pay (think its about $20ish per vehicle) then come back to that point and proceed through the gate From there its easy ...
