Greetings, and Welcome! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


Based on a few conversations that I've had with several Trooper owners, here's what I can tell you...


The later 2nd Gens were equipped with a modified 12-Bolt rear axle, and you are correct that there are fitment problems when attempting to install an ARB Locker into one of them.

The solution would be to install an earlier non-modified 12-Bolt axle -- something out of a 1996-97 (perhaps up to 1999 - not sure) *should* work perfectly...


However, I say "should" because I am not sure if there are any gearing (or perhaps other) differences with the oil-burner models, since we do not have those here in the US.


I hope this helps <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
