My Mother-in-law was really scary, but after a while, it was ok. I never had a mother-in-law before, either. I'm game if you are, you go first, :DBob

I am going this way with my d2.

Mate if you do a search on atb in disco 2, there is a couple who have these and speak very highly of them, you might even pm them to get more info.

Kev

Does a front LSD give any negative affects ? , i would have thought that a selectable locker would be better for the front and LSD for the rear.

Mate, I don't have one yet, but the feedback I have from those that do is no, the diffs don't lock so there is very little influence on the front end under normal driving conditions. I assume that more traction off road will have its associated differences, but not the same as a locked diff. Full differential action still happens....as I am informed anyway.

Kev

The only thing I've heard through the US where there was a trend towards fitting Detroit TruTracs (same type of LSD) is that the self centering of the steering is increased.

I heard that too Slunnie, but apparently it's not that much and the off road far outweighs the minor issues. I guess I will find out:)

Kev, there is a stronger self centreing, but you soon get used to it.

Cheers for that, I re-read the original thread on the atb and remember that info now, but in perspective the self centering action is a minor issue and I think someone replied in a pm that they found it a benefit.....?..... But anyway, plenty of front wheel drive vehicles have significant feedback in the steering department. As long as the offroad benefit is good, and I am sure it is otherwise I wouldn't be considering it......and the cost is a bonus too.

Bob, I will probably get the diffs done because I am changing ratios too, going to 4.12 because I will be running 33s......so need some expertise in setting that up....

Aghhhh, all this talk is getting me frustrated, I want to make this happen now!.....where's that money tree?:D
