    I thought I understood all this until you guys got me all confused. Here is a thread that may help or hinder your thoughts. http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...40&Main=412844

    So according to that thread i understand it as us having the modified 12 bolt. Good find Zeus but yeah it doesn't completely answer it in my mind. Here's another somewhat weird theory, if the modified is stronger then if i were isuzu it'd be in the tod rigs before any other rigs. Kinda like the majority of v8 full time 4wd Jeep Grand Cherokees have the D44 rear and the six cylinder have the D35. Yeah unrelated to isuzu but still a theory. And when ya think about it if they were in the tod troopers then it wouldn't be any extra retooling or anything for isuzu to throw them under our tod VX's. So maybe the US spec has the modified and the JDM's have the standard by that logic. Maybe i'm over complicating this.

    Guys, you are all making this to complicated. If we did not have the standard 12 bolt, we would not be able to use the aussie, or the 4.77 gears out of the 89 RS troopers, like we already are, and I am currently running.

    The modified 12 bolt does not apply to our vehicle.

    ^^ 100% TRUE, period.

    The VXs (all of them) were equipped with the earlier, non-modified 12-bolt rear axle -- and you can take that to the bank.
