hey mitch, its a complete rear axle i am after with discs/calipers etc as mine is a drum brake version, needs to be quite cheap aswell as i need to spend cash on the other truck (turbo etc) ............... let me know if it is a complete axle youve got as that would be good..thanks

3.9, 4.11, 4.33 and 4.625 from the factory and there are also 4.88 available aftermarket.

Virtually all TD42 Safari's are 4.11.
Nissan Terrano coilovers, turboed VH45, Safari axles, and some other stuff.

I have fitted 35' KL71's to my 1990 GQ, gearing is all up the poo. I think I need 4.6 diff heads, where can I get these from? I have been told they are the same as a terrano, is this true, if so what year?

Rear terrano = front GQ. Think 4wdbits.co.nz sell them for the rear (and front but terrano way will be cheaper) for around $800ish?? You will find them on their site easily enough otherwise its ex aus as far as I know.
