They can handle up to 33's without issue. If you bump up to 35's you would really need to regear and throw in some stronger axles. After owning my 90 for 2 years I've got to say it's been cheap to maintain. Parts are very reasonable if you use the proper vendors and they're very easy to work...

Great trip and gorgeous rig. SWB G's are my favorite

If it doesn't have an LT230 in it you should consider that route. I'd think 35's would be hell on the Borg-Warner viscous coupling

While I agree in principle, sourcing parts for a LT230 isn't going to be quick no matter where you are or what ratio you're running. If the OP intends to take his vehicle abroad to what I'd consider truly 'remote' places then this would be the least of his concerns with a DII.

And how is this a problem? The LT230 is a very robust transfer case.

Considering you don't have roof lights a hood blackout isn't really functional anyways

Although I've used Detroits in the past (and will when I lock my 90) they are not in the same class as ARB's. It's a little unfair to reason paying shipping both ways is enough negate the cost difference between the two

Take off the sway bars if you haven't already. It'll jump around a little on the highway but if you can deal with that it makes for a big improvement on the trail. If you have a stock read bumper trim up the quarter panels and sides of the bumper. That area hangs a little low and tends to get...

That will be excellent on the highway. That's about the same RPM as a stock D2 at that speed

If you're not confident in your mechanical skills at all I'd suggest having a shop do the work (differential or transfer case re-gear). If not set up correctly the new gears can cause major issues down the road. If you can find complete third members complete with 4.11 (or lower) gearing and...

Guess it really depends on the abilities of the OP. If he'll be taking it to a shop swapping diffs or swapping the t-case may be close to a wash depending on parts availability and cost for t-case gearing. Another option is look for someone who has a set of 3rds with 4.11's who may be willing...

Clearly I picked the wrong career field

That's a hell of a lot of gear for 33's. I ran 33's w/o issue on my D2 with stock gearing. You could possibly go to a 1:1 transfer case (opposed to the factory 1.2:1) which would keep the excellent low range ratio and with a reduced high range for lower highway rpm. Regardless of your decision...

Just ************. Somehow this story keeps getting better

I love that winch mount on the LR4. Sleek enough not to stick out and ruin the clean lines of the LR4 but noticeable to the gear head who looks close enough.

I recently added a 2nd Rover to my garage as well. Once you get green in your blood they become quite addictive. What are your plans for it as far as raising the suspension or fitting larger tires?

Labor alone could buy 3 nice D2's

This trip is pretty awesome. Glad to see you worked some really challenging terrain into it. How many total days was your trip? If/when I ever make a big trip out west I'll certainly be referencing this

They allow right hand drive in the U.S. as well, it just can't be converted from whatever side it was originally on (i.e. RHD converted to LHD)
