Pulled rear diff head out and replaced couple of broken studs. Put much more goo round the seal this time so hopefully it wont leak and then I wont break studs over-tightening it to stop the leak. :oops:

Looks awesome, any chance of pics of your mounting points? Do you have a body lift? hoping to start mine in the next few months.......although I have said that before. I've spent the last few months cutting off my roof and putting a new(er) one on the safari, just finishing up some sanding and painting then onto the bar work.

Cheers, yep I'll take some photo's of the mounting points once I've finished welding them. That photo is a test fit with mounts tacked on.

No body lift, I did massage the sill lip inwards (no cutting) to give a bit more room but wasn't strictly necessary. It would be easier with a body lift but I don't plan on it.

He doesn't have an LSD, The air locker is broken so running a temporary open diff.
But your right it doesn't slow him down much!
