    Diff locks for the Classic Range Rover

    GDAY all , with 3 old range rovers and 2 Discos in the back yard Ive decided to build one up into a decent road registered bush basher , I used to have Maxidrive diffs and difflocks in front and rear of the old 78 2 door , which I sold off,. I was amazed to find out that the maxi-drives no-longer exist. Can anybody suggest a diff-lock for the rear diff ?

    ARB airlocker.

    I have a trutrac LSD in the rear of mine. Not as positive as a difflock, but pretty good anyway.

    You probably wont break the ARB locker.
    Depends on tyre size and diff ratios and your driving style. If your after big strength forget stuffing around with rover diffs uless you prepared to use Toyo cwps etc

    If you want to use Rover ARB lockers and 24 spline Hi-Tough shafts with pre 86 Rangie or AEU 2522 CV's will get you going.

    Yeah , I was thinking of using the R380 box out of the disco into the 89 vogue with a alloy headed 383 stroker ,then detuning it with a smaller quad throttle body on straight LPG ,will be alot of fun !
