Once I have the front diff changed I'll be staying 4.3 and then sort the transfer box with some reduction gears. Im also considerkng rhe 26 spline front shafts so i cannuse 2 un modified rear diffs, ease of use. Follow your original advice scottie just 4 years later :roll:

Side by side comparison. The new shafts are a nice amount bigger, definitely softens the blow from the cost!

So my speedo stopped working and I'm not totally certain. That the vss was working as its made hardly any difference to the performance.
I'm also wondering if its possible to change from some Spanish clocks to the jap clocks and just rewire it. The vitara speedo is so far out and lazy to respond. Tried to adjust using the little lever but made no difference really
