I went to the auto wreckers a couple days ago to scope out a replacement rear axle. They had 3 early 2000's pathfinders and 1 91 there. The 3 2000's ones had huge drum brakes on them, where the 91 had discs. Both were coil spring setups though, so that would have to be cut off and welded on spring perches, but measuring from backing plate to backing plate, the Pathfinder diff was 0.5" narrower. The driveshaft flange bolts seem to be the same (measuring with a tape measure), so the B2200 flange should fit. The biggest difference is the pinion is about 2" longer, so driveshaft will need to be shortened. The diff is massive compared to the B2200, and gear ratio is either 4.3 or 4.6, which is what I want. As for the disc's, a master cylinder change may be needed, but the parking brake is actuated by cables, and is small drums inside of the discs, so that should work nicely.
