differential removal
#11
It sometimes, not always, pays to remove the shaft as it may be in good/better condition inboard side and mates together better with the diff. It also maybe worthwhile keeping the shafts and hubs as spares if offroading a lot. Shafts can break easily due to stresses and diff wind up.
FWIW, on my project build here at L8, Ive been running stock axles and stock diffs for over a year to see how well they will hold up. Running 33's and so far I've only blown up a rear diff. Axles have held up great.

de rien. Enjoy your D2 as they aren't as bad as made out by some. They are old, they are complex 'cos they are 4x4, but they are no less reliable than any other 4x4 truck of comparable age or mileage but often far more comfotable .............. and you can get stuck in many places most other 4x4's can never reach
