Default Hilux diff in esky?

hi guys,

ive been reading, and have read some stuff regarding hilux rear diff, geting put in an esky...

so is it hard to do, as some are lsd's and have a high ratio, which will be good for motorkhanas etc..???

thanks mike

any one know about the lsd centres if they all are the same? Saw one on ebay but was out of a later model one. My diff is a 75 model i think and wouldnt mind putting a lsd in it rather than welding the thing up.
