LR going with Toy 8" CW&P & CVs: Please advise

[DiscoDino]

Hey guys!

Hope all is fine and dandy...

I´m almost convinced of going with Toy CW&P and CVs with a Jac Mac setup for my Rover and was wondering if you guys can shed some help.

Truck is a V8i Disco Manual with <200hp, around 2K in weight, dual winches, cage, 2 seats, and will be a comp rig by mid-late 2004, running on MAX 36x12.5x15 TSL SX.

I would like to go as low as possible on the CW&P ratio (4.88??) but as with every CW&P, the lower the ratio, the weaker it is by default...so will the 4.88s last?

What are the best CVs to get, Toy stocks, Profields, Longs, ...please explain in detail...I´ll be shipping anything to Lebanon, so might as well get the BEST OF THE BEST once and forall (still single, so LR is my girlfriend!)

Thanks,

Nadim

You`ll be better of with a Nissan set up heaps stronger than the piss weak toyota.

What nissan setup and which piss weak toyota ?!? WTF would he sacrifice all that ground clearence when he's only running 36z. With long/profields it'll be easily strong enough.

The price to do this doesent come close

$1300 for a jac mac locker - you wont even get an ARB air locker + compressor for that let alone shell out another $800 for the nissan diffs. And you still have to install them and buy wheels etc.

Jac mac can build rover diffs way stronger than nissan diffs so why bother swapping in something weaker. Stock for stock a nissan diff is better but when you start looking at upgrades you carnt buy a thing for a nissan diff.

Rover diffs are where its at. The only diffs that have more aftermarket support are Danas and you can build a rear rover to the same spec as a 35 spline d60 and you can build a front one to D44 spec with a 8in crownwheel (toyota) or an easier option is the toy crown with toy longfields. Both these combos are way stronger than any built Nissan diff.

Ok...I think we ALL KNOW that Toys are...let´s say "better suited" for Rover applications ...

SO...

Any POSITIVE feedback?
