88pathoffroad Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Unless you have access to a cheap wrecked R50 Pathy with a good rear disc axle, it'll be really spendy. Swapping the whole rear axle is probably the easiest way, but it sure won't be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I was thinking about this a while ago. Since the LE WD21's came with discs, it seems to me that it would be a good idea to find one of those H233B axles and swap it in. However, I don't know if the linkages would be the same, and I'm not sure you could get the ABS to work. But, the older axle would also give you a greater selection for lockers if you decide to go that route, also. I haven't done much research into the swap, but it seems like it would be a viable option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 You can do that with a WD21 Pathy. I'm gonna do mine pretty soon here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
