I have an '05 Gen 1 (4x4) and an '08 Gen 2. My Gen 1 has some minor mods but mainly runs as a family truckster still. The rear diff has started to growl and the 'pumpkin' is seeping fluid.
I need to replace the rear axle housing and rear diff. Does anyone happen to know if I can use a 4.10 rear end from an '07 donor 4x2, with some kind of alternate mounting flange that is slightly different between the 4x2 and the 4x4, but easily swapped from behind a 27mm nut? I found a decent-looking replacement rear end but it's from a 4x2 and I am not sure whether it would be a good buy or a horrible mistake to buy it.
Thanks for any feedback you may have for me.
