Any one here know, if the gen2 8" front diff uses the same cw+p as the gen1 8" front diff? i can not seem to source a Gen 1 front diff in 4.875 flrare as hens teeth as they were only in v6 manual pajeros. There are plenty of gen 1 4.625, and plenty of gen 2 4.875 diffs around, would anyone know if they use the same pinion and crownwheel?

Gen 1 were low pinion, Gen 2 high pinion. I don't believe they are interchangeable.
Have you looked at what's required to install a Gen 2 high pinion into your Gen 1?NT Platinum. DiD Auto with 265/70R17 ST Maxx, Lift, Lockers, Lockup Mate, Low range reduction, LRA Aux tank, bull bar, winch, lots of touring stuff. Flappy paddles. MMCS is gone!

Ahh true. Forgot about that! No I havent mate, I have looked at every way to get a lokka in the front. 4.875 gen1 8" diffs are nearly impossible to source. Do you know where I would find a gen2 diff into gen1. I have been a member for a few years and have been searching every corner of the web for by best option. The gen2 front diff would have super select thats the only issue I see. Custom drive shaft and probably gen 2 cvs. Sounds kinda hard. Apparently early delicas and 4x4 vans had a rear crown wheel and pinion that will slip into a 8" gen1 diff.
Failing all this it might be swap both diffs to 1:4.625 and install crawler gears. All expensive. Possible to put an arb air locker in the rear for around 2k installed-jero- 1990 SWB NG TDi import, 33'' BFG KM2 muddies on 15x8 'sunnies', steel winch bar, custom rock sliders, Steel roof rack, Domin8r 12,000lb winch, 2.5" straight through exhaust, Allisport TM intercooler, Boost Tee, EGR delete, 22' LED bar, GME UHF + GME antenna, high gain fm/am antenna, duel batteries, 2in lift - Lovells springs and Gabriel shocks/struts + tough dog torsion bars, snorkel, catch can, diff breathers, VDO boost, oil pressure & EGT gauges, fusion speakers, more to come...Comment

I believe the gen 2 front diff is a bolt in to a gen 1. Housing and all.
I remember reading about this on outerlimits4x4 years ago, I think the yanks were doing it to get a front locker. Try having a search on there but if gen2 parts are as cheap in oz as they are in nz then I'd just buy a front diff and take a punt that it will fit.1994 NJ SWB, 3.5 Manual, 285/75/16 Deegan 38s MT, 25mm body lift, Twin ARB air lockers, XD9000 winch, custom bar.

well, another option is to swap both diffs to 4.625 ... does anyone here know if running lower gears with a diesel is worth it? i imagine better highway economy but down low speeds ??-jero- 1990 SWB NG TDi import, 33'' BFG KM2 muddies on 15x8 'sunnies', steel winch bar, custom rock sliders, Steel roof rack, Domin8r 12,000lb winch, 2.5" straight through exhaust, Allisport TM intercooler, Boost Tee, EGR delete, 22' LED bar, GME UHF + GME antenna, high gain fm/am antenna, duel batteries, 2in lift - Lovells springs and Gabriel shocks/struts + tough dog torsion bars, snorkel, catch can, diff breathers, VDO boost, oil pressure & EGT gauges, fusion speakers, more to come...Comment
