    Also thinking of fitting a Lokka diff in the front. Can't justify the cost of elocker or air locker, but the Lokka, it just squeezes in on cost.

    Apologies, yes to both. The Auto Hubs are plenty string enough, there are a couple of winch challenge comp trucks running Autos as the Manual hubs are becoming scarce. Remove the ring and full send it.

    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.

    Thanks Daz.

    Went around to @mudnut's place yesterday and removed the rings. Proof will be in wheeling as it was an intermittant problem. But it's good to have it done, it's removed one possibility and it was good to catch up with mudnut again.

    It was good to see you, again. After hearing your account, I've put the Stock Route trip on my Bucket List.

    When we stripped the hub locks off, I could see how the excess grease could affect them, especially as it gets hardened with age. I hope the conversion solves the noises.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
