Not yet. I have everything I need except an open carrier for the 14 bolt rear, so I can use my locker with the 3.73's. As soon as I find that, I'll do the swap.

You can legally export a CUCV and all it's parts to Canada. This is done everyday. I researched this before I bought mine. I was seeing all the crap on Ebay and other sites that these could only be sold to US citizens. This is incorrect. GL only sells to US citizens. The person that purchases...
Made in the USA
Here's one made in the USA. And it's only $6.50. Hard to beat that. I found it while reading a glow plug thread over at the Diesel Place.
