Thread: Fabricated 4WD Diffs based on the Ford 9"

I have no idea how hard he drives, but going by his axle assemblies, they should stand up to some abuse given 32" tyres.

Here are some pics of Ancient Mariner's axle assemblies. Similar fine standard of mods to the LT230 and the rest of his drive train. It is one strong Land Rover that will put most to shame.

Rear axle assy:




Front axle assy:

Land Rovers don't break axles. Drivers do.

Nice axles! I think you'd hard pressed to break those.
