It is incredable how these trucks can go with the stock axles and parts.

I finally started into putting the 80 series axles into the truck, with arb diffs.

they are bolted in, and the truck is now sitting on 6 lug wheels. Will post pics when I am finished.

I decided to weld up the rear axle mounts to factory spec, rather than moving them to center the axle in my twisted truck.

Im beginning to think the frame is slightly bent as well. I however dont care, and plan to modify the upper A arm mounts to fit.


ON another note, I want to remove my ABS system and replace with a non abs master cylinder.

does anyone know if this is the proper unit to fit? Are the early (pre 94) discos the same as the later?

NTC4991 | Brake Master Cylinder

This is a Russian website which has ported the LR MicroCat part numbering system: Landrover Parts Catalog
It's showing the same NTC4991 master cylinder.

Very under rated vehicle they are. Should be no dramas getting rid of the abs with that cyl just a bit of pipe work to clean up.
