No. Not even close. And you can't get chromos for NT either.

A WT will be the closest and best for chromos and width.

NT = 49"
WT = 52"
Jimny = ?

This is going to be one of them threads that runs away, people get called names, people cry, people say things need to be moderated

Jimny is wider than a WT sierra, hence why joeblow is using axle bits to make his wide front diff

youll also have steering bits in the way

If you have cash to burn, PM joeblow and get one of his custom diffs.

bending it and bracking cvs once i lock it.
if i dnt lock it i will be able to drive harder, hence the diff bracing, if i lock it ill still brace it but ill just want stronger cvs and axles.

you shouldnt break CVs or axles if you drive it right... you're only running 31s so it should be ok.

Yes. They are reverse cut hypoid ring and pinion, so you need to flip the diff. This puts the castor out, so you just fit some castor wedges to get it back to stock settings.

No, because they are helical cut gears.
