Hi Mace.
LC stuff is nice.
And yes I will most likely spend $2700-$3000US on the front diff alone, However for me to get a built, locked, 35-spline, high-steer Dynatrac to Darwin in Aus would cost much more initially, and exponentially more to maintain.
Now as for the wheel spacers I can not understand why it would be a bad choice to use them?
I was thinking that by widening the front housing 5 1/2" and using an 'average' offset wheel (standard 16x8" LC 80-series wheel) I will be able to get some sort of a longer life span out of my wheel, and king-pin bearings.
Then by using 1 1/2" wheel spacers that would be giving me almost 8" wider wheel track. This very wide wheel track combine with the lower roof line, and lower chassis will create a heaps better CoG.
