Swapping diff ratios gets expensive. Especially for a salisbury.
I assume you already have 0.996:1 T-case high range already?
??? AFAIK the tallest ratio available for the Sals/D60 is 3.54:1. The SD1 has rover diffs in 3.08:1 and 2.8:1, but that is no help if you can't get a matching rear.

Hi Ben, The Sd1 has 'salisbury' type rear ends dont they? with a watts link or similar like the XE falcon? actually Looks a bit like the XE falcon borg warner diff from memory...
Hmmm, Memory
Anyway, the overdrive will self destruct in 10 seconds behind the Isuzu, I have thought about using a Laycock type unit from a Volvo 740 Turbo 'box. These are similar to the GKN overdrives for defender LT230's, but a little smaller.
I was only going to use mine when cruising on the flat, but then, with all that torque and towing a camper, I might just want to USE it....
And I can see THAT destructing too. Just face it. The Isuzu with a turbo on it will destroy most LR boxes except a TRLT95, so we just have to run 33" tyres minimum and stay under 130km/hr
