Yep for the auto levelling:D, http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-t...ml#post1254835

um, vlad - pretty sure you need auto adjusting lights not auto levelling suspension for HID? Though I suppose it would do the same. As Matt pointed out - he has that feature with his air springs. But - who mentioned HID???


Matt - Dougal is running stock tyres and a stock body chassis. If you removed the bars and winch etc from your old rangie and fitted 28's I'm sure you would have a chance???

Btw - depends on the gravel. the WA pea gravel over here is so slippery I could at least chirp all 4 taking off if I was silly enough.

My rangie is now a chassis in the paddock:(

Nope, that's the thing with having 3 differentials, on power you'll spin the wheel with the least traction, not all 4, drift on the other hand:D


By the way, I'l be in Perth late october for a mates wedding, if your keen for a beer:).....I'll be roverless though:(

Ben the HID was in another thread and I beleive it mentioned auto adjusting headlights or auto levelling vehicle (the emphasis being on the "auto" ). Just thought a Bohe system could potentially make it legal to fit HID's to a Defender, all things considered.

Yeah, sure, you will be inclined to lift and spin one front. However it is still possible. Now I have lockers F+R I will have to give it a go.

Definitely up for a beer.

The way diffs work one wheel has to have 1/4 of the traction on one wheel to spin it up on a fulltime 4wd vehicle.
With just two wheel drive one wheel needs to have less than 1/2 the traction for it to spin up alone.

The interesting thing about the landrover/rangerover chassis setup is both driveshafts spin in the same direction, so it doesn't get the driveshaft torque unloading individual wheels like 2wd live axle vehicles get.
A G-wagon on the other hand has both driveshafts turning in opposite directions, that's going to load and unload diagonal wheels under acceleration.

That's it, lockers are the only way possbile:D and your gonna need some really loose gravel......or ice

I'll give you a bell, I'll just be jumping of the plane with my bag and no direction I'd say:)

Nope.
Have you ever actually tried this? Get any vehicle on a gravel surface and boot it, then go back and look at the tracks you left.

This appears to be the quote of mine you have issues with:

JustinC has similar experiences, maybe you should stalk him too.
