Outer Limits 4x4 Board

anyone ?

think these are correct but they _may_ be 1.3L numbers

diffs 3.727:1
high 1.454:1
low 2.268:1

i think they're 1.3 ratios

it's 12% lower than a 1.3s ratio so if the 1.3 is 2.268:1 that would equal 2.7216:1 (I think )

my owners manual states low 2.557 high 1.590 diffs 4.111

awesome

thanks guys

What ever it is it is worth the time to bolt one in if you have one lying round. I got one in mine I picked up for $80. It made a big difference to driving can idle up hill with no pedals.

well then.....is it really worth it......

Obviously the 1L transfer being lower geared would be better than the 1.3L but is it going to make that much of a difference?
(ie is it worth the effort?)
I'll give you my current dilema, Ive got a 1L soft top, hope to use 31's for daily driving, and possibly 33's for bush, long story cut short, intending to use the entire 1.3 drivetrain form donk to diffs (Note: later on will be changing to Lux diffs and 33's and purchasing a set of rockhoppers as the funds become availible).

I recognise that the 1.3 setup's mounts are all different, which I'm cool with 'updating' etc, but for added effort would you suggest I retain the 1L tranfer setup (and modifying the connecting shaft to suit) or change the lot (my preffence) to the 1.3 transfer setup as my reasoning is that it will be better for me in the longrun when it comes time to add the Rockhoppers.......what do you guy's reckon?

Yes, i think it would be worth while keeping the 1L x-fer case in there - and since you already have the 1L running gear, and will also have the 1.3 running gear - you will already have all the parts required i think.

A 1.3L on stock gearing will not push 33's anywhere near as nicely as a 1.3 with 1L gearing - this will be evident when both on road and off road...

But you should still keep the 1.3L x-fer case for when you upgrade to a rockhopper - because obviously that is going to be even lower again.

Cheers

Basically I've got parts from flogged out(and rusted) 1L as well as damaged wreck 1.3 (good donor parts and body).

Was going to try just using the 1.3 driveline (from motor/transmission/T-case) and still use the higher 4.11 centres for the diffs.

Will play with the red axe and welder this weekend.

Thanks for the opinion.

If ya want to go series 3 rock hopper, you will need the 1.3 case and/or gears. I run a 1.3 donk with entire 1.o L running gear, it is very worth doing, and cheaper than a hopper, total gearing is 15% lower in hi & low box. but one litre can only use series one hopper. you can change the mounts over, and replace drum handbrake with later yokes, etc, no big deal, christover
