Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey you guys,

Does anyone have experience with the McNamara front half shaft and CV joint ? As I understand it, the CVs belong to the Land Cruiser 73 and have been adapted for the Land Rover. Is that correct?

Do you think it will handle a 35" and more tyre?

At the moment in Israel the only option for heavy duty half shafts and CVs is the excellent but unreasonably expensive Maxi Drive.

I am just about to purchase front half shafts and CV joints, so would appreciate any insight you guys may have.

Thanks,

Erez

I am running the McNamara axles in the front of my 89 Range Rover with the modified CV's. I believe that the CV's are from a hilux. This means that Longfield CV's could be used i believe.
As far as strength goes, i haven't broken anything yet. I've been running 33's without a problem and have just got some 35's so i'll soon know whether they are strong enough. I believe that they will be - a lot of people are now running 35's and i haven't heard of many failures with either McNamara or Maxi-Drive.
As far as cost goes, i would have thought MD and McNamara would be priced very similarly.
Another option is swapping in GQ Patrol running gear.....
