I was wonder if it's worth it to swap out my diff in my 1st gen x to a 2nd gen diff with lockers and for disc brakes. I know I can do a conversion and get a locker, but lockers are pricy when I can pick up a diff for less that 600$ that has one and disc breaks. The downfall I see is that the 1st gens have a better lsd that the newer x's do. Has anyone done this conversion before and is it worth it? Just out of curiosity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I suppose you're talking about the rear diff. 1st gen ones are supposed to be stronger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nick - I've not heard of anyone replacing a 1st gen diff with a 2nd gen. And we so have folks with seriously modified 1st gens. Or are you talking about replacing the whole rear axle? Haven't heard of that either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The only gears u ever need to upgrade IMO are in your tcase (as long as u runnin 33" tires or less). For anything larger u will need to upgrade diff gears and it prob cheaper to look for those 5:13's but forget out of what vehicle. Suspension Armor Tires Accessories Is the order usually, 4th time! |

Not sure what gears are in first gens but the stock gears in an e locked second gen are 3.36(auto) and 3.69(6 speed), 4.10 and 4.56 are available. Axles are basically a dana 44. The e brake on them are high maintenance and don't usually last very long. |

Sorry if it was a dumb question. I met someone with a first gen with disc in the rear and he said he did the conversion that's what got me asking is it possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
