It appararently doesn't work out that much more expensive than giving landrover axles the full treatment to get them as strong as they can be. The unimogs with portals and built in lockers would still be much stronger than these. Just ask those who've done the upgrades it cost's thousands to run axles with lockers that would put up with the load even 35's put on let alone 37's.

You are kidding right??? In the UK you can get just about any mods approved for road use.

You would have no hope here. Sam's old mogrover is much better engineered, and would be much safer on the road, yet even it can't be registered, for many reasons.

The biggest reason being the front wheels don't touch the ground?

hey ben i think it is actually registered isn't it?

but obviously not 'approved'

How can you say it is better engineered have you seen both vehicles? I have looked at the mog rover and read about it and it is well engineered for it's purpose comp work. I'm not so sure how it would handle on the road though and i don't think i'd be putting my hand up for long distance trek in it.
