Hi Martin,
Looks the same as I fitted, Brett got it from the USofA, mines a 1999 model works a treat.
Dont know if/when they changed splines
Andy..........................If you do this mod just be careful till you get used to it, can be a little jerky going slow turning wheel, I just go slower round bends and roundabouts.:woohoo:

You can use the lockright locker in the rear, it doesnt matter about the amount of splines because it uses the original side gears. i think the part number is 1510 from memory. As for the front i would go with an air locker so that it gives you more control

Picking mine up in a few weeks, pre-ordered 1510 and collect from Florida! Just hoping on getting crawler gears too
only if I get my hands on her credit card!
Should show up well in customs!

why are you buying from florida when you can get them in the UK?
hopefully it must be dirt cheap to make up for the hassle

It is a fair bit cheaper, considering no postage costs. And I will be passing the 4x4 parts place a fair few times.
I know our good UK suppliers are great valve and supply an excellent service, but they are also stung with import costs.
I would have been the first to buy off our UK suppliers if I wasn't in a position to obtain these parts without the shipping costs.
Once I get my jimny back from west coast off road ctr, in hopefully the next few weeks then that is all I am spending out on it for a good while due to other commitments. This also means if I break the jimny then I will not be fixing it unless it is free.
I have just roughly worked out how much I have spent on my jimny just this year and decided that I must slow down.
