    Weight ballance is the problem i see....

    a true trailer is designed to have 10% of its weight on the towball. So getting the axle in the right spot is the trick.
    Or load the front or rear to match it.

    Ummm,

    You use the spare diff in the trailer to fix the busted diff.



    What happens to the trailer?

    Plus you're putting all of those extra k's spinning the diff.


    I'd have thought that you'd take out the chassis rails down, for balance, for weight, you probably wouldn't need the same size chassis on a trailer - no two-axle flex, just load.

    cheers

    No, the housing is merely a diff carrier. The Land Rover has a fully floating rear end so you don't need any drive axles to support the hubs. The wheels won't drive the diff 'cos there's no axles.
