WELDING FRONT DIFF ON SERIES. WHAT U THINK.

<< < (4/4)

Wanderer:

--- Quote from: "Miniman" ---We all know how a diff works but as I mentioned at the start for off road use ONLY. Yes on tarmac it would be very bad but if you are off road the wheels spin and slip very easy. I had an old diff and today I took the old one out and welded the other which is scrap anyway. Took it off road and its absolutley fine. I have video footage to prove it. Just have to get it off camera. I am not going to keep it in will change it again tomorrow as like Jim-Willy says Half shafts will break. It is fine off road the turning circle is very slightley reduced but a landy has no turning circle anyway. You can tell a very big difference when on hills the grip is fantastic but I can see that the halfshaft bill will also be fantastic. Cheers for the input guys.

Also leaves alot more mess on grass....LOL

Miniman.

At no point in your original post does it say that it's for OFF ROAD use only.

You asked for views on doing it.
You got views that it is nothing short of lethal on an on road vehicle.

If you'd asked for views on using it OFF road you'd have got go for it but steering may suffer when you floor it.

Miniman:
I do appologise i did not say off road I said 4x4ing. May be a little X wires there. Yes only OFF ROAD ( 4X4ing ). Well you don't 4x4 in a series landrover as you get axel windup. Its not nice. Hey come on we not all rich and can afford a 90 to break.

OK so I appologise if everyone thought I wanted to weld my diff up for on road. I was not clear enough. This is why I mentioned F W Hubs because it would not give me any probs on the road with the FW Hubs unlocked.

SORRY GUYS.....

Must be alot more clear next time. Slap hands for me...
