We all learn something new every day mate  :D


--- Quote from: "CNorman" ---My next concern would be that they would not be as "man" as land rovers off road.

They are substantially lighter so don't see the transmission shock loads that a Land Rover might see. They definately require a different technique to achieve similar results to a Land Rover. Having owned a modified Samurai and a couple of Land Rovers, I can vouch for the different approaches to off road driving. When I first started using the Sammy after years of V8 torque, I thought it was rubbish. But I quickly got the hang of using more inertia  :lol:

But surely that only allows you to run on tarmac in 4wd which is not a great deal of use? The standard setup works perfectly well i.e. no centre diff. Why would anyone want a centre diff just so they can lock it anyway?! The way I see it, it just adds complication. Or am I missing the point, Simon?

generation-x:
in threoy steve you can lock the axle diffs up for true 4x4 and the gearing is mega low too :shock:

glaggs:
How easy is it to fit the Lada box, i.e flanges etc, might be a way of lowering the gearing on the JImny?

generation-x:
into an sj ive been told easy jimny im not sure but it has to be cheaper than fitting a dg tuning kit
