boss:
there is a bloke running 38.5inc boggers on totally standard axels somewhere. you also have to take into account the tread pattern, the more grip you have the more your half shafts will feel it!


bolts are on the insude of the bumper and is a bracket bolted onto the chassis :afro:

Jake:
You can see the two bolt holes on each side of the rear cross member

miketree:
1) There is always a risk of breaking a diff.  It's a Landy!

Depends how you drive/treat it. I've damaged 2x 10 spline diffs with aggressive 33" tyres and on both occasions it involved plenty of wheel spinning. Not the sort where a wheel is spinning with no gip and then suddenly finding grip and shock loads the transmission, just spinning with constant grip. Having run out of spare diffs my driving style has changed a little and I'm making better use of the winch, so far so good.
