hi guys, new to the forum hailing from south america

just got a 91 safari granroad, and have a couple of questions for you....
inside the vehicle i see no switch for diff lock which should be close to the
switch for the aerial i think, so, im looking for a foolproof (me) way to check
if the diff is LSD or not, any help with that?

thanks!

It will be LSD if it hasn't got a locker (we're talking rear diff yeah)
Look for a sticker LSD
Failing that jack the rear up spin a wheel the opposite wheel should turn the same way if it's LSD

thanks that seems foolproof enough to me!!!
is there a way to take a regular diff to remote locker that you know of? or does that necessarily entail changing the whole assembly and housing?
