Sure mate, would like to schedule it, but not doing this at work incase it spills over time wise. So its front dive and at mercy of the weather. I have done 2 diff swaps so far, so other than the maul, I'm not aprehensive about it. Its certainly a lot more difficult on your own (wouldnt do it agian solo).

The main concern are the front diffs to be honest, on the 20L they can break, but having manual hubs can help hugely, but again if you get the 2.8 diffs AND manuals your laughing, though you will need to change front and rear to keep the ratio's the same.

just a idea for the future then the cost and time of replacing the two diffs and asociated parts may add up to just less than buying a swb 2.8
