Going from Dual TT's to ARB's....gradually....

[R_Lefebvre]

If I didn't already spend the money on 4.11's, this would be easier to justify. I suppose I could sell the rover diffs with 4.11's and TTs easy enough. The rear is only one year old with very little miles. Don't get me wrong, I was about with like 12 guys the other day. We met up with a bunch more. My truck ran circles around everyone else's truck there. I complain, but anyone else raises their eyebrows and says, "Wow. That's a great truck." I'm just spoiled. I know it's capable of more. The back end fell through the ice and the front wouldn't lock, so with one wheel in the air, I had to winch with no help from the tires until I got the second wheel to bite a bit too.

Keep me posted if you want to sell that stuff. No promises, but just let me know.

more benefits:
more locker options: aussie, lockright, etc.
more gearing choices: 4.10, 4.88, 5.29, etc
bigger, stronger internal parts. the axles are also thicker inside the semi float flange. i'm not positive the diameter, but i believe the 30 spline inners are 1.5" and rovers are 1.3"? someone can correct me, but they are larger, which inherently makes them stronger. they are also made of stronger alloy steel as well than ashcrofts design.

maybe i should post the thread here? it's on dweb if you would like to check it all out. search DII toy conversion under my user name.

most the time 1.5" would be a 35 spline and 1.31 would be 30 spline. 24 spline rover stuff is like 1.24-1.25 as I recall.

thanks musky. i knew the difference was something like .2-.3". it's still a big difference when it comes to axles. the hub splines are 24 spline and are the standard rover 1.24-1.25". i appreciate you correcting me. that's right, dana60s are 1.5".

It depends if 18% is big or not. 1.31" is 18% stronger in torsion than 1.24". 1.5" is 77% stronger than 1.24"......

Most Dana 60s use 30 spline stock.

Proper 24 spline shafts and CV joints should be stronger than a Rover R&P.

right. these axles are stronger by design, through the alloy metal used and the size. they are 30 spline at the diff end.

cheers.
