This has been done. but I'm not sure re cost. You will also need a Salisbury tailshaft.

Keep your original housing with Ashcroft centers/axles. Pat

I second this, much better clearance and just as strong......

2001? It should already have a Salisbury in it..?

Not better clearance than a shaved Sals, and a Sals CWP can't be beaten for strength.

yep, wasn't the transition point '02 ?

Hi

On P38 Puma rear diffs, how many people have broken their CW&P? not half-shafts. If so what size tyres and how hard where you/they driving?

I have a 130 that I use for touring running stock 235/85 tyres and don't want to put a Salisbury under it.

I'm considering running a pegged Ashcroft P38 locker & their halfshafts.

I'm not arguing about the Salisbury being much stronger - it is - fullstop anyone who has plucked out a center will know this. I have a shaved Sals with 35 spline 1.5" halfshafts and it is bombproof, but that under a 36" tyred playtruck.

I just want a safe reliable touring solution for normal 4wd driving on stock tyres.

The Misadventure 4wd crew (youtube it) blew the rear diff up in their SVX, crown wheel and pinion failure. Pretty sure they were running 265/75r16 Cooper at's at the time
