Hi, yes if its hanging down, chop it off!

I guess they didn't do it before due to cost (fabbing shock mounts on the chassis).

As long as you don't change the shock angle too much it should work fine (I think).

Good idea, I reckon, Al.

Hi. Thank you so much for the great tech! This is exactly what I needed. Ben if you are ever in Paris, I'll buy you a beer! There seem to be a few options here, so I'm going to start picking my 'selection', and finalising the details. I'd like to keep my suspension and brakes, so although I have ...

Thanks for the input guys. Ben, you're right, I don't think the e-locker is available with all Toy ratios, it just happens to be available in the ratios I'm looking at.

Hi, thanks again. Regarding the e-locker - people seem to have good luck with them (which surprised me too at the start). I can get a complete 3rd (brand new) including e-locker for the cost of an ARB locker for a Rover diff (unfitted, and no new diff), so I end up with a stronger (brand new) diff ...

Thanks guys - to give a little more info, we are only talking about the technicalities of getting the Longs and shafts to work in the series axles here - the truck itself has a V8 (fairly mild), R380 and LT230. The gearing works out fine with 35s and 4.10 Toy diffs (high pinion front, regular rear e ...

Toy conversion for SERIES axles?

Hi guys, I've been looking around for info on putting Toy 3rds, custom shafts and longfields into SERIES rover axles. Everything I can find seems to relate to Defender axles. I know fitting the 3rds will be the same process, but does anyone have any tech regarding the Longs and the series swivel ...
