If its a daily driver or carries family members I would seriously be thinking twice about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing was beaten up because every time it rained someone would send it off the road. Fun to drive though. What's the difference between mini and full spool?

ratter Member 6,793 Member For: 18y 7m Gender: Male Location: @ my laptop Posted 17/10/12 09:20 AM Share Posted 17/10/12 09:20 AM mini uses the diff's original centre (internal centre whether lsd or single wheeler), basically just adds an axle joiner in the centre, a full eliminates the original diff centre and mounts the crown wheel directly on to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieCJ7 Member 67 Member For: 16y 4m 29d Posted 17/10/12 11:52 AM Share Posted 17/10/12 11:52 AM Given its a Dana 44 derivative diff if you have access to a good diff shop who can experiment a little without huge labour costs I think a ARB air locker should be able to work. They are air activated and give a spool when activated but an open diff when not activatedThey are a full carrier replacement so you would loose the LSD There is also electric versions from Detroit that are LSD when off on spool on but not as strong as the ARB I have them front and rear in my Jeep that has Dana 44's and also had a mate that put one in a Toyota rally car and worked out great as full traction in dirt and open in transport stagesAnyway just another option that is heavily used in 4x4's but rarely seen in street cars but if used on the strip a lot could work out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
