Thread: Has anyone done this??

If you mean the complete rear axle assembly, quite possible; there will be a few problems but nothing insurmountable. (I assume you mean a 110 Defender - in the unlikely event you mean a 90, very easy). Later Defenders with the Rover diff would be simpler, as the diff centre only could be swapped.

I am not too sure why you would want to unless needing the more robust diff for advanced offroading.

I don't mean to teach you to suck eggs, but make sure the front and rear ratios are the same.

I know a bloke in Townsville fitted a Salisbury into the rear of a Rangie some years ago.

I want the strength of the Sailsbury.. And of course I would make sure the ratios are the same, thanks. Was just wondering how easy this would be.. Seems to make sense. I am trying to set up the old girl for touring. The bigger rear diff would be an advantage..

Yah 110.

Yeah it's been done, Disco Steve had a salisbury in the rear of his rangie, i don't think there would be to much involved. you'd want some decent size tyres though, the salisbury's are a lot stronger than the standard rover diffs but they are so flippin big they seem to drag alot out bush
Gets quite annoying but i spose you can just go bigger tyres...
