Dr Evil Fail :doh:

feck off ginge

noisy drop me a text when you get a min, I can probably meet you somewhere with it during the week or you can come grab it from mine if you want

It's not a fail, it's that I'm really trying to get hold of a 1.211

Otherwise it's a 1.222 which are plentiful, but I've got over a grand to save up for the rear diff before I even need a transfer case so I have time to stick around for one

Was really hoping docs was gonna be 1.211

I think very late 300s had them but it seems really hit and miss

If I want yours doc it's cool I'll just run up the motorway one evening and have a look at your build whilst there so it'll be a double win.

Thanks for taking the time to look for it etc

That reminds me I need to check my rear diff, it may have an LSD built into it already if I'm lucky


Yeah no worries, if you don't want it I'll just put it up on here


Not much going on build wise atm, its been stripped of its 35" tyres too so it looks a little weedy waiting for the 49's to make their way across from Florida

believe your new axle does

It may and may not, I need to check the tag on the back of it to see or the serial number then look online

but it is the military spec so I would suspect it could do

Isn't that about 2k in tyres?! :jaw:

49" what the ####

It'll be a dog!

nope military surplus, buy them with rims and 85% or more tread

The ones I have my eye on are $100 each on a rim, or I may plump up and go for the $500 brand new ones but I prefers to buy 10 rims with 85% tyres as thats far cheaper in the long run plus you get one free

be like driving a military truck just need the matching front axle to go with the rear

Ok you had me scared then, 44" boggers are like 700 quid each I think

Yeah it'll be like a military truck but without the weight to go with it, the unsprung will be so monstrous it'll drive a bit funny I think, BUT only time will tell

Gonna be one hella brute, think the baby land rover will be a bit small when it's all said and done?

Nah but these are still Michelin XLZ's


I reckon it'll be a bit on the awkward side to drive with all the torque but the idea is to just leave it in crawl gear and let it idle up stuff given that my transfer box is a Dana 300 with a 2.62 low ratio

Gives me a first gear low of 87.49:1 on those tyres

It could actually make a very good rock crawler!

I guess just get it built then run it test it alter it etc...

Yeah definitely, got someone coming over later to give me quotes on the remaining steel I need and the guy with the tyres should be getting back to me today, just need to check that the Rockwell PCD is the same as the Dana 80

btw rockwell axles are awesome!

Mr Noisy I've got a late ish 300.


I'll have a look see for the serial number if you're still looking for a 1.211?

Hi pal

I have JUST picked up a transfer case actually, but thankyou for the offer

Ahh fair enough.


Let me know if you need to get rid of the 1.4 lol

Think DiscoTim has dibs on that but will be a while before it's out anyway
