Just make sure not to go into mud...that's a "tarmac" only thingy in my opinion...not a trail fixable mod in my mind...but make sure to keep us posted...may be a good boost to the bling meter :D

hmmmm ... will make it mud proof ..
i assume ur refering to the electrics ...
i really like the first gear ratio of 4. something to 1 compared to our 2.something to 1 .. and 6th gear is .7 where we are .8
and paddle shift gear change ... they are lighter and consume less power as it travels from the engine to the wheels.
they say they dont require maintenance... what ever that means ...
i think more bash plates for the belly ....
will keep all posted ...
cheers

If it's built like the ZF out of the HSE's i wouldn't go near it.........

They DON'T like anyfing wet... they are 100% electric but on the up side they can be electronicly locked for awsome engine braking... so for the tarmac off roader :oops: then it would be sweet.. you could even mount the up and down shift buttons to the steering wheel for full bling effect... but i may be wrong maybe BMW made the ZF water proof cause BMW drivers tend to go off road a lot and get the cars wet......

This box will cost almost as much as youre rangie ! I dont think it would be worth the expense.
