35s on a 200 TDI 110

Im coming back to landie seen again after many years of zuks and looking at possibilities

i presume you need a 2 inch lift as 33s go straight on stock, anything else like trimming?

whats the gearing like, i can see you can get more power out the 200tdi but low box off road does it have a major effect,  in hi will it still maintain nice 65-70mph up hills on the motorway
 bearing wear etc,

the 200 TDI 110 will be used to go to far away places so will see a fair amount of road use running a MT type tyre over the more agressive simex type,

Would i be just as well to stick with 33s to keep the reliability there with good gearing.


ive been used to a massive 140 % gear reduction in low range and it nice not to have to drive the point and shot option of too high a gear. anyone running 35 can you give me your oppion please. or any gearing options.

extreme90:
now afink the 110's run a 1.6 transfere box, wich, in conjunstion with 35inch tyres gives not bad results

to help abit here, my 90 runs std diff ratios and a std transfer box and tyre wise has 35 inch simex, before fitting uprated intercooler it was ok but bit crap, now i got a full width intercooler, it absolutly flys up hills fully laden (around 2.35ton ish mark)
so with muds that got less resitance, it shouldnt be bad

if any of that makes sense  :oops:

yeah ,  nice one mate,  

will get Steve to do a bit of fuel pump tweaks, yeah bigger shinny intercooler is on the list.

maybe a tweak of the turbo with out destroying the head gasket.


35s is more so when i go playing i dont get stuck in the ruts left behind by the simex crowd :-)  or at least attempt not to get stuck behind :-)



other question is ARB in the saisbury diff.  heard different things so far,
i remeber the shimms and setting the preload whilst in the car, painful setup from what i can rember unlike zuk diff rangies etc.

in the arb install you leave the pinion alone, is there old carrier an easy one to remove i heard you might need to stretch bits to get it fitted. in to the housing,   but the limited saisbury diff experience i have was many moons ago and it was just to inspection type and setup checks,

Have a silly urge to go take one apart now,lol

:lol:
i can rebuild diffs, but i cba i just go over to crown diffs, top bloke cheap as chips
easier let him faff around than me
my turbo runs at 1.1bar an no problems with head gaskets for 5thou ish
and mines boiled over aswel  :shock:
stupid leccy fan  :evil:
