For those of you wondering, any 80-91 non vaccum waggy axle will work. I just picked up an '88 last night and am picking up an '87 tonight. They're identical in width and steering as the '82 waggy front on my Frontier. From surfing full size jeep boards, it appears the vaccuum disco was an option on '82-86 models only. Any '87+ axle is going to be a good find for this kit.

For those of you questioning gearing. You have to swap more than the R&P; you also have to swap in a carrier designed for 3.92 and lower gears. The stock 2.73's and 3.07's in waggy's use a different carrier. That's not an issue for those of you dropping in an ARB locker....that replaces the carrier all together.

Well, I guess it's time to get down to building my second D44. Might it find a home in my Xterra? We'll see.
