Very nice, build it up yourself or get someone else to do it?
All mine had spent on it this week was a tenner for some shampoo....

I do enjoy a modded D2!
Detroits are excellent for halfway house but when you drive off road with a locker you soon work out how often being locked can be detrimental
A locked diff half the time aims to find traction at a wheel that otherwise wouldn't be given drive, but an open diff seeks to give drive to all wheels whilst allowing for rotational differences
Ie, a locked diff will encourage wheels to break traction at the same time as guaranteeing any wheel with traction some useful drive
Being locked on a side slope can be a VERY bad idea
As such, detroits aren't ideal
But in fairness, most of the time you'll get more use out of being locked than unlocked.
To put it in perspective, what you're looking at above is the best part of 1400 quid.
Gulp.

That was built by Nige at Megasquirt and his main man Steve.
I built my ARBs into casings a few years ago but they didn't owe me as much, plus they weren't pegged.
As such, get a pro to do it and get it right
