Thread: Series Landrover Diff upgrade. Worth a look

Probably just me but it doesn't 'look' right, like it would fall over on a cross slope.

Wouldn't need snorkels. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hard to get these days.

Approx 5K landed in a low gear set (7.1???)
So if it has to drive anywhere at speed (if series can do that ) they will be limited to about 80km an hour.

There is a volvo portaled county ute in the LROCV.
I only know of three sets or so in Aus, but there are more.

I know if a set going under a Bush Ranger project.

Isuzu motor / 6 speed manual / Volvo axels

Have you an idea of the cost difference between these and say going Mercedes mog diffs like Sam Overtons "Mog Rover" ??

Would need to be a complete mutation though, I find it hard to believe the 2.25 would have the torque to turn them even with helpful gearing.

:roll: ...... it is all about the gearing...
look at the Toyota guys running 37" + tyres.. on crappy hilux engines...
they turn the tyres easy due to the fact they have 2 transfers and 4.something to 5.29 diff ratios

as for the Mogs.. it is a huge job compared to fitting volvo portals due to the torque tube design which needs re working with a driveshaft flange needing to be machined and fitted... plus Mogs are heavy ass axles... volvos are almost a bolt in

Thanks 8)

no probs...
Bill Lambet aka portalrover on outerlimits has made some portal axles for series landies
they are super bling... here are a few pics

Maxi-Drive in Queensland make and sell them in kit form. Although cost is somewhere around the 15k mark from memory! Bolt straight onto Defenders, and series as well!
