thinking of buying 97 3.1 jackaroo

Postby stardog » Sat Jul 26, 2014 3:19 pm

Well im thinking of buying a 97 jackaroo with a 3.1 engine in it 5 speed manual looks in good nick as well as I need a bit more space than my MU has.
The problem is can I change the lokka front diff from my mu into it I know the bighorn is the same as jackaroo but not sure of diff ratio is 4.3 as well but I find every time I go out bush I need the trailer for all my camping stuff to fit even my 52 liter fridge not much room left in the back of the MU at all but the Mu is great to drive dam its a hard decision to make.

If your Mu was 3.1 and original diffs the heads will swap no issue Pays to check tho either by a rotation or tooth count. If the Mu in top gear is doing 2500rpm at 100kph on about 31 inch tyres I would put a dollar on it being 4.3
