There's nothing special about Jeeps, especially older ones, that any competant backstreet garage couldn't tackle.

Find a local axle / transmission place to re-build the rear axle.

Mark at MDG knows a lot and does good work but you'll pay for the privilege and probably be told that 5 other jobs HAVE to be done on your Jeep.

Roof tent - you might find a good deal from Landrover (TATA :lol:) outfitters.

axle work can be done by lots of places that do that sort of motors. as for so called specialists they wont ever see any of my money unless they show some kind of value for maney. its just like payin £350 for a service that you can do yourself for about £30. get your truck or just send your axle to Mik from rednex who will rebuild your axle to a top standard and he wont fleece you for it. 8)
