Brace all the radius arm mounts on both the diffs.
Reinforce the shock towers.
Swap in a gear driven transfer.

Buy a leafy.

Weld a 2 or 3 mm washer over the top of it. Big enough to cover the top of the strut mount and with an appropriate sized hole for the strut thread

On the topic,

You can do things like diff breathers, headlight upgrade, LED interior light, and reverse light (camp light), general maintenence.... Heaps of low budget stuff you can do.

It's his favourite job... pompoms

Hose for breathers. I used garden hose, 95% of the people on here will disagree. Mainly because it isn't oil resistant :roll:

I have had garden hose on my car for 2 years and it has worked a treat :peaceout:

My front diff is from a leaf sprung Sierra. The rear is standard coily...unbraced

The mounts just get swapped for a thicker material 3 or 5mm

Because I wanted to piss off the struts and radius arms, the other bonus is I now have cromo cv's/axels and a lokka Armsup

Only ever had a problem with my rear diff. I think this is because the rear of a coily works a lot better than the front...suspension wise, therefore it creates a lot more stress on the mounting points. JMO though :wink:

You're welcome to swing by, and I can talk you through what you do and don't need, and what you can get away with short term.
