I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what rear axle I have? It is in a 85' 720 and it does not have a removeable third is is an integral carrier axle. Also how strong are the Nissan divorced t-cases?

Search Damnit! Ha Ha just kiddin', lifted the below for ya from Nissan4wheelers.com. I'm sure they wouldn't mind:

The axle code is located on the door jamb sticker on Nissans. If it's not there, there are visual ways of determining what you have. On some older trucks it's on a plate in the engine bay above the fender well on the passenger side.

CA41 - Found on 720's - This is a C200/R180 combo with 4.11 gearing. Some 720's have the smaller H190 rear end that's identified by not having a removable rear diff cover. R180 front ends in 720's are different than the Hardbody and Frontier versions, as the diff is nearly centered. 720's use unequal length halfshafts and are not interchangeable. All 1986.5+ halfshafts are interchangeable left to right.

CA43 - found on 720's and Hardbodies. C200 rear / R180 front, 4.375:1 gearing

As for the Tcase, it's a very strong gear driven divorced piece. Too bad it's low range is a sorry 2:1. I bashed the hell out of my old 720 way back in the day when 33s were big tires. Tore the whole front IFS out and broke a torsion bar, but the rest of the drive train was quite stout.

Thanks for the response. I am glad you mentioned the Nissan 4 wheelers site, I had been looking for a Nissan site because they are all new to me because I am a former Jeep guy that thought he would try something a little different.

I have a set of GM 1 tons out of my old cherokee that will probably end up under it.
