The fact that you have far more power than any other series Land Rover and the ability to engage a centre diff lock when the going gets tough makes it the most capable Series Land Rover ever built in Solihull. I have owned a Series 2 and 2a and I currently own a 2001 Range Rover as well as a 1981 Stage One Truck Cab. The Stage One ****s all over any of them off road.Quote:

Have a spell on the bench ade30946x6 for a couple of weeks as you are out of your depth on this subject mate.

Pre-LT95 Series LR's don't have CDL because they aren't permanent 4WD.Quote:

That PTO you sold me is just the bee's knees, though. People in the LROCA are more than a little envious.Quote:

Sorry don't agree apart from the limitations of the leaf springs they will out perform any series I have driven.
Off road with their low gearing and narrow track I find them exceptional in fact much much better than my Defender (apart from the leaf spring limitation).
Simplicity well I would prefer a gearbox that is strong enough to do what you need even if it has got a centre diff.
You talking to ade30946x6 I take it?Quote:

While the centre diff can be converted to selective 4wd engagement,the main problem with the Stage Ones LT95 transmission is that although it is much stronger than the series units, If something catastrophic happens such as the centre diff assembly poking a big hole in the back or side of the transfer case, then it's virtually unrepairable or even replaceable with another unit in a bush situation away from workshop facilities, due to the sheer bulk and weight of the transmission in which the transfercase cannot be unbolted from the main gearbox to break down the assembly into two manageable size chunks. That happened to a club member on a Vic high country trip some years ago, which made retreiving the vehicle a week long ordeal that occasionally gives me nightmares when I dream it is happening to me.Quote:

I always believe that you should maintain the centre diffs in the LT95 very well.
They are crudely made but if used and maintained properly they can be pretty reliable.
The low range gear coming loose seems to be the biggest gearbox housing destroyer, loctite seems to fix that.
