Are these mods from good brands ?

[Sanz]

Hi
I am trying to buy a disco 2.
The seller is claiming he has used the best in the market.
I am not much familiar with these.
Could you please help me. If these mods are good.
Kindly check the screenshot attached.
Thanks in advance

Yes.

What are you intending to do with the vehicle?

It has been set up with many modifications that the average driver would not need.

[Slunnie]

All of it is pretty good.

I cant comment much on the sliders, or the tune though.

4.1 brings the revs back to standard. He has badly miscalculated if he thinks 4.88s are the trick for 33's. It'll be doing a lot of revs on the highway.

I have a new prado which I have modified and currently taking her to offroad.
I am just concerned about the insurance. Because most of the places my mates go are not legal.
Public also use those tracks. But I am not comfortable to use. $80k vehicle even though I have taken club 4x4 insurance.

So looking for a less expensive car only for offroading.

I love disco 2 and many of my mates have it. So thrilled to join them as well.

This particular one has 380k kms . Should I be concerned about that ?

Thanks

Thank you. Do You think 380k kms is too much ?

Am I allowed to share the car ad here ?

Auto or Manual?

Am I allowed to share the car ad here ?I think so

[shack]

Thank you. Do You think 380k kms is too much ?The transmission would be about ready for a rebuild if it hasn't been done.

The engine?
Well that would depend on how it's been serviced and treated.

[V8Ian]

Yeah, link the ad if you wish, but hope someone doesn't gazump you through it.
My view is you're showing the car, not promoting the sale.

Has some very good gear on it.

If you are planning on registering it be careful of tyre sizes

33's are 4" bigger than standard so will require engineering.

Don't know enough about diff ratios to comment.

If all working correctly would be a very capable car suitable for tuff tracks & would show a few patrols & cruisers the way forward.

Anything sold by LRA and Ashcroft in my opinion are quality stuff.

I have a lot of both and could not be happier.

[twr7cx]

Yes.

[RRT]

All nice and dandy, note that the axles appear and front uni joints appear standard, no mention of the brakes??? You could be lucky as they do not have appeared to spared expense and they have actually upgraded these as well, worth the ask.

As far as the gearing goes, have done three charts, one the standard D2, what I have 4.37 and 32's. and the diffs and tyres as mentioned - 4.75 and 33's

With the 4.37 and 32's am happy with the compromise of off road ratio's versus on road increase in revs, once at speed the engine is relativity quiet but there is extra noise and the speedo out correspondingly, this of course will much greater again with this setup.

[Slunnie]

Just to clarify here. 4.11/4.12 diffs bring the effective gearing back to standard (or close to) when running 33" tyres. 4.88 diffs would be correct for standard gearing if you were running about 40" tyres, which admittedly I would enjoy seeing!

Also, speedo calibration on the Disco2 comes via the ABS sensors, it is independant of the driveline gearing so a ratio change wont affect the speedo. Well, unless you have a manual transmission and that is in relation to the cruise control operation (or lack of).

[Kaaaiju]

I know and have seen that disco in real life, it's nice and all but some stuff should of been done or upgraded for that price point

I have now with the motor rebuild spent over $75,000 on my d2a but can't sell it for more that $18k

So that original price is a bit high for that stuff

Bit confused with this statement. On my D2 with the 4.37 and 32's my speedo readings are out -10% (as well as Nanocom readout) with this against three sat nav speeds (phone, dashboard readout and rear vision camera/mirror sat nav). With the three calculations I did with the Ashcroft's Ratio Calculator, the corresponding revs for standard versus mine at 100kph -2249rpm and 2512rpm which is almost perfectly -10%, so yes the speedo will be out with different gearing and therefore over 15% with the 4.8's and 33's.You would get 39.11 in Low Range first as a benefit against the standard 29.15 - for mine, 35.98 was a more than reasonable out come for the extra 10% revs on the freeway.


Think even 37's would be an impressive sight on a D2, might rub on the back of the headlights though...

For the D2, it doesn't matter if you're running 3.54, 4.11, 4.37 or 4.88, the speedo will still read the same. Speedo correction is done by modifying the resultant outgoing ABS signal. You could even remove both tailshafts, get a tow and have a speedo reading.

But as you've done, absolutely if you're looking to change the effective ratio for what you need! The 4.88's will be pretty low too for playing in low range!

Did you say rubbing on the back of headlights! :lol2: This was just on FB Td5 Mafia (its not mine!).

That is very funny and spooky at the same time!!!

Oh yeah! My blue ute has 37's and they are massive even compared to 35's! A whole new ball game.

See it now with the avatars, where do you put the block and tackle or do you have a crane on the bed to lift those on, just checked for my own info and nobody wants to talk weight of 37" tyres but I do that the BIL's 33" weigh just under 50kg each and are a b to get on and off. Must dull the performance somewhat, let alone braking, but no doubt they are off road kings.

Right!

So the solution is to either run a headlight OR run a wheel ... but not both at the same time.
I'm not so sure if the 37's would be "King" off road ... as if you run just the one headlight and hence minus the one wheel, I would have thought the whole of point of 4wding is to have all 4 wheels too!
