The mere thought of cruising at 80 mph on a set of Colway Annacondas makes me scared.  Rather you than me.

bogie:
Had it up to 115 on my last set,bit deaf for a while but hey you either love em or hate em,and i love the m***** f******!

Range Rover Ron:
Disoc transfer box is the way to go.

Range Rover Blues:
Only thing I'd say is that having fitted 235/85s to Blue it styruggles to pull in top cog, if I'm towing or against a head wind then forget it, the gearing is too tall.

Ridgeback:
I would go with the disco transfer box as mentioned.

My Td5 has a GKN overdrive, when it was working I really liked it but this is the second one its had. The first lasted 60K and 7 years, the one on it now is only 2 years and around 10,000 miles old. It gave up on me a few weeks ago.

It left me with no reverse gears and was slipping in forward gears. They cost around £1000, if you can get one Vs the disco transfer box at anything from £50-£400.
I now have 2 very expensive paper weights!

I put a 1.2 disco transfer box in my 200tdi 90 and It was loads better at speeds between 60-70.
It was nice having the option to keep the standard gearing then use the overdrive for speeds over 60 but I don't want parts fitted to my defender that are are so tempermental and could leave you with no drive.
