I know someone like that, so far its 3 rear diffs and 6 transfer boxes and a few other bits. Its a td5 110.

Result :)
Get yourself a Magnet on a stick from X-Eng and if it happens again, pull halfshaft out and drive home with diff lock in - save you calling a flatbed. Or get a spare set and replace.
Ashcroft are expensive but they are fit and forget, even if you fit a rear locker you'd be hard pushed to break them unless you start to put 37"+ tyres on :) More money but a lot less hassle than halfshafts breaking.
Are you running your BFG's on the Boost alloys? If so the offset on those is horrible and so steering off-road is less than ideal. You might want to consider selling Boosts and replacing with steel modulars. This will fund your rear halfshafts! :wink: :wink:

Really, I'm running MT's on mine and don't have a problem....
Has been made better with a set of wheel spacers though... proper steel hub centric ones, not alloy jobbies or flat type.
Also, all the G4 Defenders don't seem to have a problem... and the off set is virtually the same as a standard Land Rover steel wheel :? :wink:

I'll get myself a magnet on a stick when its out of warranty!! So far i've been recovered, had 2 hire cars (still got 1) and got a main dealer in london to fix the vehicle without quibbling for FREE!!
How is the offset on the boosts affecting the off road driving? I dont see how that can be. Also i like them, they look nice and its my 18,000 mile a year road car too, not just a play thing.
SteveG:
As you say Ian you have put spacers on.
The turning circle is not as good with Boosts on and hence why they are not as good off-road IMHO
Cheers
Steve
