Peter,
it was suggested that I get a set of crawler gears in the transfer case and get a defender transfer case because they have lower gearing. It would have cost HEAPS more.
The Ashcroft C+P's are the strongest in the world.
I have always had to balance performance with my limited budget - and I know 'doing it cheap' can sometimes prove more expensive - but I'm happy with what I have achieved.
Good luck and thanks for the compliment.
The rims are Rock Crawler - and I got them from Les Richmond Automotive in Thomastown. Greg at Melbourne Tyres can get the rims as well so you could do a deal. I got mine from LRA because the was a shortage of stock in Melbourne at the time (a week before Christmas).

I havn't done anything to the front axle/cv's yet. I don't use the front locker becasue I'm scared I will break something. It's there in case of emergency. I put it in when I changed the C+P's and the ARB diff carrier is heaps stronger than the original LandRover one. A problem with the diff carrier is that under load it can flex slightly and this allows the pinion to 'climb up' on the crown teeth and cause teeth to break. It also saved me from pulling the whole diff apart AGAIN to have the locker put in at a later stage.

I will probably get a spare set of CV's to take along on trips.

Thanks for the compliments
