Keep replacing the nissan bits with Toyota Landcruiser bits until no more nissan bits remain and that will fix your problem
PS. I'm after a pair of 80 series rear bump stops also if anyone has some lying around...

ah yes ken now does the same
a bad nissan idea that one
also check the rear tube cross member it has plastic plugs on either side, have to remove the wheels to see clearly, the diff breather goes into that tube thats why the caps are there but the caps hold shit load of grim and dirt which creates corrosion etc clean that out and relocate the breather just a hint

i removed those bungs on one of my last trucks, and the tube was almost rotted through from the inside , i had to turn some bushes and weld them in.....the truck i am building now which is 1988 has the oldest but best chassis i have seen and this is my seventh GQ.
