OFFICIAL Land Rover thread.

..wow....could that whole case have rusted through? I live in dry places and I can't imagine...

[slammin.e28]

Looking into it, I found a pic where someone was able to stick a punch through the case. Shame, I just put new wheel bearings in this thing about a year ago. So, I guess I'll pull the one from the Disco frame and re-seal it.

Really wish this happened at a better time and I'd just re-gear while it was apart.....but no such luck.

I am eyeballing the peg kit from Ashcroft. Good idea?

[LateFan]

Yeah, the banjo / pan part seems like just sheet metal, but the axle assembly is thick steel. Weird.

Looked up the peg thing - never heard of that before. Hard to imagine a diff case 'flexing' any! Is there drag on the ring while you're driving?

I'm about to re-fill my son's rear axle. He says 80-90 hypoid oil. Is that the correct type?


Spotted on the Denver Post, assisting in the CO flooding...or maybe it was just parked there..

I think it's mainly a thing with oversized tires. If you raise one up, and smack it down the torque will cause the gears to jump and wreck everything. Since I'm running 33"s, I almost want to get that. I read 35"s are axle killers.

Also going to look into FZJ80 axles.

Ugh cant progress any farther until I get this stupid fan clutch off.

Also whos the guy who will rebuild injectors?

[slammin.e28]

Oh goddamnit. Ignition switch would not fucking turn this morning. So I threw a shit fit. Sat there for 20 minutes, eating up my time to drive to work, trying to get this thing to turn. No, I didn't have graphite spray, of any spray really, at hand.

So, start looking for a new one when I finally get to work.

Range Rover ignition switch.

SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!?

That's insane.

So I think we're going to do some creative wiring and eliminate that bullshit.

Just getting another step closer to "rig" status.

This is why I love this thread!

Was gonna try this. Even my original key doesn't want to turn this thing sometimes.

Man, love this thread on Pirate.

95 Classic Build




Eventually mine will probably end up like that, as I replace things with upgraded things, etc. Going to have to retire it from DD duty and buy an L322 eventually.

I still prefer the before on that truck, and would gladly trade my Disco for it.
