There both good. I run maxi's and the biggest issue is the fact that the disengagement of the locking dog takes a while to unload, especially if they have a few k's uinder there belt like my rear one has :evil: .

Other than that, maxi's are great. Jacmac make great stuff, pity they are hard to deal with style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

Good luck wheichever way you go.

they gave me a price of $1300 for there air locking unit. Not sure whether that includes stronger axles, for that price i wouldnt think so. A maxi drive is about $1850 including stronger axles.
Which of JMac's locks are better, air or vacumn operated?

JM with axles is same as maxi.

air IMO is better but you need a compressor.

I was quoted $2800 fitted for the Maxidrive with axles for a rear diff (Salisbury). Is $1000 reasonable for fitting? 8O

$2800 is a bit exxy for fitting/supply cost. I paid $2350 total for my front maxi. The fitting costs were $570 which included a couple of bits and pieces such as machining and new seals, etc..

Shop around a bit for a better price. I haggled a bit with cash and saved about $300 total on supply/fit style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

The pre-88 Rangies don't require the CV upgrade as the old style 2 piece RR CV's are quite strong anyway and handle the front maxi no worries.

The 110 County jobs I have heard are strong but a bit brittle. One bloke in our club with a 130 Defender was negotiatuing a easy-ish hill on a recent trip and smashed the entire unit 8O

So that's the answer to your question style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
