Overdrive and PTO winch. Can it be done?

<< < (2/4) > >>

JD LWB:
I'm probably not going to be doing that much off-roading.  

On road mostly I think, but with the capability for 4WD (many Aussie roads aren't that good)!

Miniman:
I personaly dont know but there will be someone on here. If you have a digi cam get a photo of ya rear axel. Make sure the camera is on the lowest resolution makes the pics smaller for the net. If its still to big to post and ya dont know how to compress it you can send it me and I will do it for ya. I have put 90 diffs in my 88 series 3 diesel and its tops it used to do 65mph revving its t*ts off now it will do 85mph after about 3 days but it will do 70mph not a problem without revving like mad.

JD LWB:
I can't take any photos of it, or have a look as the Land Rover is in Australia and I'm still over here.

Does anyone just happen to know the answer? :D

Xtremeteam:
as its a 109 it "will" have a salsbury on the back unless it has been messed with,
this will have a 4.71 ratio which is lower than the 90 ratio of 3.54

to make it easyer for cruising it sugest fitting bigger tyres as its lots of work to alter the rear axle ratio

Dont bother with the Overdrive the Fairy unit is a pain in the bum, it will fail at where the splines engage on the dog of the output shaft on the main gearbox. I am in Australia and I assume the unit you have purchased has a 186 cubic inch holden motor. The Fairy unit in Australia may be fine for 88 inch Land Rovers but forget it with a hard used 109. I guess it depends upon where you are going to live in Australia but where I live (in Alice Springs in the middle) a 109 without modified diff ratios is quite frustrating (CAN YOU IMAGINE TRAVELLING 1580 KM TO THE NEAREST CIVILISED PLACE AT 80 KMH) the holden motor will pull very well  but will rev its butt off to do 100 kmh the end result is a car that is very expensive to run. It will pull 3.54 Range Rover diffs and if its a 2a I would be suprised if it had a Sailsbury so the conversion will not be expensive. (I recently bought a Range Rover 3.54 :1 on ebay for only $75 aud a Salisbury 3.54:1 will cost $600 aud) If you live in the eastern part of Australia distances are not great but if you live in the centre or the west you need to change the vehicle to cruise at at least 100-110 kmh.
I personally drive a Stage 1 because of where I live I presume you are going to live in the eastern states all I would suggest you do is get here put up with the 80-90 kmh speed of the series 2a and show the people of Australia that Toyotas Suck off road when compared to a real 4x4.
I wish you well
