Given the track change yo u shou I'd be looking for a pair rather than just a front mate. You will get away with just a front but will suffer a little with rear steer, especially in the Beach Sand.
You will need a new Drag Link and Tie Rod. I recommend a GU Steering Box too.
Yeah definitely doing both, I didn't want to have different track widths either.
Liftlid had just the front for a bit I think?

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I think if AB has another chat to his boss, I think the green light he got was to save his pennies for a GU itself. Not just the diffs.

Clearly you sold your pants when you downgraded to a GU old mate.
