I was wondering why you hadn't tapped me on the shoulder to do some soldering for you. All good.

My setup is rear varilock and front air locker. It absolutely rocks! The front locker is especially helpful when climbing up awkward rock steps. I only need to get one front wheel to "bite" and it lifts the front end up the step - then the rear just seems to follow. I doubt the varilock, particularly a 20-year old one, could provide enough lock-up torque transfer to do that. My limit on rock steps is now the entry angle, not traction. If I can get the bullbar over it, I can climb it. (I have tried a couple where it did not fit under the bullbar and couldn't get up without rock-packing.)

I was actually waiting till I can reliably going to the Gold Coast and make it back before I contact you. I think it am now at that point. I wanted to save some money since I spend already quite a bit more than I was anticipating when I got the car. However, I then reread the info about the CAN Bus filter and realized that I still can reuse my NP242 I have lying around for quite a while now with this device. Would have been a shame to let it go since not so many are out there to get.
I am in the process to salvage my V8 an take everything out I need and then transfer it over step by step over the winter. Once spring will be around the corner, I will reach out again.

This sounds pretty much like the setup I will have on the V8 and will have on the CRD. The Airlocker is indeed great. I was able to get to places where I saw several Landcruiser and Patrols fail to go. I prefer front over rear locker if I would have to decide which one I go for. Since I will have a 6.5 Inch lift the bullbar barrier will be not so much a problem for me. I had more trouble with the steering damper or other low hanging parts which can easily be ripped off or damaged. I am also going to relocate the steering damper when the new axle goes in as well as move the bump stopper from the axle to the spring bucket. Not sure how I am going to do this but the hockey pucks are already bought a year ago and am planning to use them.

That is certainly something I am planning to do sooner or later. I am closely following what you, RBT and JeanLuke are doing. But this is something entirely new to me so I will focus on getting all of my goodies from the V8 transferred over and then I can focus on such kind of activities.
I have the right ring gears for the Dana 44a already. They should fit on the carrier of the CRD without any issue. If not I will simply use the V8 carrier and axles and bite the bullet. I have set up my Dana 30 just a couple of days ago without sophisticated measurements and instruments. All I needed was a dialling gauge for the backlash and make sure that the pattern on the ring gear matches the expected outcome. Took me a while and did some back and forth but now it is perfect.

When I once worked out the spacer thickness I recall it was around .300 and the would likely to still allow the ring gear to locate correctly on the carrier.
