Im guessing its a 10 spline 3.54 diff. You can get a complete second hand 3rd member for cheap. form a '92 or older RRC If its 24 Spline then '93 or newer RRC or Disco

It has the 24's in it, Im looking at running True Tracs front and rear so now seems like a good time to order up the rear.

What are you plans for the body? Are you looking to get antoher 88" tub?

-Jeff

I dont think I want to get into the tub yet, so far I have pulled off the front wing and pounded them out with a hammer. I want to fix this thing up but dont want to take away all the battle scars. I am going to paint it myself in my shop, back to Arles blue. Someone painted this thing with a brush at some point. The only panles Im looking to replace is the passenger side door post, it took a hit sometime ago and the door doesn't work right, lower hinge is busted.

My in a year or two if I decide its worth it Ill get into a tub and firewall, it could use it, but for now I want to get it up to health and just drive the thing.

are you going to fix up the interior if i remember correctly its missing the lower dash right?

I plan to paint it body color, new seat cushions and make my own "dash" more or less some simple storage. Im a metal fabricator so I would rather make something then buy it.

Right now it only has a gauge panel bolted to the bulk head

Fun fact, the chassis of my rover is a Great Divide edition, the VIN plates shows it was black and the previous owner says it was the only black one
