1989 Rugger - Blown Front Diff

Forum: 

Hi,

new member from New Zealand. I have a slightly modified 1989 Rugger with the 2.8TD motor. The truck has full outside bull bars front, rear and sides with high-strength tow hooks, roll cage on the inside, stripped interior, removed overload springs, high-speed electric winch, and full recovery gear on 33" M/T tyres.

I have owned the truck about 3 months and it's great, but after a spirited run up a pretty rough hillside, I blew the front diff bouncing up a terraced portion of the hill.

It is proving somewhat difficult to find a replacement.

Does anyone here know where I coul dfind one in NZ, or even better, know of anything slightly more common (eg toyota hilux etc) that would fit?

Thanks alot in advance.
