Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I may be using the wrong term, but i understand it as the wearing of the splines. ie them becoming lose. links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/693/fretting-wear" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That makes my Maxi setup disc to disc both ends and Cromo CV's a bargain at $3k! Dave :drinking: Apart from the fact that the spares availability for the lockers is poor (early) to non existant..(late) My choice nowdays would be Ashcroft lockers, ashcroft rear axles, Rovertracks front axles and cvs ...

very nice!

Not selling mine

Just to add, Micka, put me down for 1 definetely, maybe 2 depending on the final cost. (if they are from Ashcrofts)

This it what it looks like with the new one:

Oi! dont show pictures of my special 'shim-free' broken junk! (everyone will want one!)

Just get one from Ashcrofts. miles cheaper and easier to deal with.

They are not too hard to do either. I got the kit from Ashcrofts too, and also the heavy duty cross pin...

My Defender 90 with full cage, 2 winches (himount and xp), barwork, tube front end, 35's, underdrive (second transfer in effect for non LR people) etc etc weighs about 2100kg with fuel.

I have both :? V8 is in an 03 D2a Manual. Pro's - nice to drive - sounds great - relatively good economy on a run (13-15l/100) - smooth, quiet, and refined. Goes ok when thrashed, cheaper to buy and service. Con's - more hoses under the bonnet than I ever though would be required. - will need head ...

I had 9.5xp's front and rear to start with. After about 3 months, I sold the front one and fitted an 8274-50. A bit later on I swapped the motors around. Personally I would go the 8274. Mine has now been on for a good few years, never even been looked at, and always works perfectly. IMO the xp is ...

I use it every day too. It's excellent.

Will send you a pm.

Will be interesting to see how these wear. That was my only concern.

re the auto - sure do! still sat in the garage!

sweet. Looking forward to seeing how they go.

Decided to drop down from a 285 on the disco as I have the Krawlers on my 90 for playing and dont really need 'big' tyres on this too!

Springs next weekend all being well to give them a run.

Just put a set of these (Kevlar MTR's) on our Disco2

265 75 r16 - looking forward to seeing how they go.

Full service history

I'd say go for A Disco aswell. if possible get a 2003 d2a onwards with the later type head lights. We have a 2003 d2a v8 manual which we bought last November, with a lot of mods (sahara colour coded bar, warn xd9000 winch, snorkle, LF240's, 33's, sliders, Alloy roof rack, etc , 1 owner, fsh and at ...

Ah fair point, the straight swap is on the more recent ones.

the XP motor (6hp ) is a straight swap. That and an Albright, along with decent wiring and internal/external switches are all I have on mine.

The one in Nerang is very good, the yellow one on Spencer Rd, but I cant for the life of me remember what its called.

Sorry, that makes little sense Serg!! Where do you think an internal cage would mount!??!!

As Garry has said very capable. Based on the D3/D4 platform, but with slightly less rear overhang.

Ediff is a rear locker and was an option.

You will be looking at around 05 / 06 for that money looking at carsales.

I would have said it was a very different car to the Jeep.

RIP Nottie

They look pretty good. Will pm you shortly.

Hi All, I am after some saddle, and pin and eye mounts for some additions to my roll cage, similar to the ones on the attatched link. Does anyone know anywhere over here where I can get some? This is just for some extra protection bars, and I wanted to be able to mount them. My random google-ing ...

Was a good day guys! despite the damage. Need to try it again

go the 90! ( I'm not biased atall )

Although personally I'd suggest one of the late TD5 ones as they should be dropping in price a bit with it being available new again now.

Mine is pretty reliable.

Been running mine for a while now and spent last week in coffs on a 4wd action mag trip for a forthcoming feature so used them for 3 days solid on all sorts of terrain. Without doubt these are the best tyres I have ever used. Ever. I was worried about the width but it doesn't matter. Normally ...

I'd go a Disco1 or a Classic RR.

Probably a 300tdi D1 which would be cheap to run, are pretty reliable, good offroad, ok on road etc. Also not bogan atall.

Tons of bits available and easy to work on too.

It is possible for the CDL to fail locked. It happened to my brothers Disco1 and it terminally failed locked, requiring a complete rebuild of the centre diff
