Thread: Why do LRs only have Diff Guards?

Yeah i think Nissan diff housings a a whole heap stronger and not to mention the internal parts .

Its because parts are that expensive and finding a good mechanic near impossible, that you'll buy anything to save the hassle of ever needing either. Or maybe our parents never bought us Lego.

Used to have a F100 4wd, huge steel bullbar with a piece that came way down near the ground to protect the front diff.

Any time I'd do something stupid I'd feel the bullbar plough up the dirt.

Not much good for approach angle, though.

i think the housing is on par with most other makes, its just the thin piece of metal land rover have put on the front to cover the crown wheel it must be only 1-2mm thick at the most and with the crown wheel only sitting a few mm back from the cover it only takes a half decent knock and the cover starts rubbing on the crown wheel which in no time rubs a hole through the diff housing.

have had to remove quite a few diff centres in army 110's to panel beat and weld the front of the housing to get them back on the road in the bush

in saying all that i still havn't fitted diff guards to mine

how did we go with that mob over iin perth

what mob is that 8O

Rovacraft, and the CUTEE diff guards.

Still yet to contact Rovacraft :roll:

But are Rover cover plates that much softer than the others?

There is no need for diff guards between the soccer field, the shops and home.
