Hi there

Well least I am not the only one having problems with the outer-limits site - even DeeJay's link provided will not work.

I have been following the guy building the hybrid with the land cruiser diffs etc - such a quality build indeed.

Its must be down for repairs - will try again later in the week.

It was down for a while, but if you try www.outerlimits4x4.com (http://www.outerlimits4x4.com) you will be asked to re direct to a new site which is http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/
Easy peasy

It may be Turoa who has just done a series with a high HP Holden 202, Hilux axles etc.

Hi there

You are right it looks to have a holden 6 cylinder - still unable to get axcess to outerlimits.

What are the advantages to having toyota diffs within a rover - I am assuming the better gear ratios?

all the best

Toyota hilux diffs use hypoid gears, which although 8" dia crownwheel are stronger than the 8-1/2" spiral bevel gears in Rover diffs.

The 30 spline Toyota axles are larger diameter than Rover 24 spline axles.

I was going to say because they are stronger but that will do nicely. :D

How is yours coming along Slunnie? Matt

Its been dormant for a while, but now HSC is out of the way things have been picking up again. I've spent some quality time out at LVS picking up bits, and a few more from Bundalene on Ebay. I' should have most of the bits now to keep moving forward with it and hopefully get the suspension finished, flick the front leaves and coil the front, power steer and hook up all of the other bits. I'm cautiously hopeful that it will be a goer this Xmas.

Could I trouble you to post some pictures of they hybrid?

Many thanks.

Ps I am curious why do they use rangy chassis - and weld the series outrigers on. Why dont they welding the suspension (coils etc) to the series landy chassis?
