Overdrive and PTO winch. Can it be done?
JD LWB:
Thanks guys
The Land Rover I have bought is this one
I'm going to Holbrook in New South Wales initially, but plan to travel around, so a bit more top speed without revving it to death would be a big help.
When get it, I'll have a look at the rear diff and if it's not a Salisbury, I'll probably upgrade them to Range Rover ones.
James.Harwood:
If it is a S2a that has not been hacked about it will have a landrover rear axle.
The salsbury axles first apeared on S3.
As soon as you change your diff's for higher ratio diffs you increase the ratio of your low box and reduce off road ability, can i suggest that you change the high ratio gear in the transfer box instead or fit an overdrive.
Canada Al:
Are you aware that you can get rover diffs in 4.7:1 and 3.9:1 and 4.2:1 as well as 3.5:1 . I have found the Range rover diffs ( 3.5:1 ) were too high and although they did increase the crusing speed they reduced the acceleration quite a bit . I have a Lwb SIIa with a 4.2 jaguar engine ( so power is not an issue ) and I have done what you are wish to do . As far as I know you can't fit both an overdrive and a PTO or winch .

I'd be interested in the details of the conversion!

I think the fuel bill might hurt even more than normal!
