[Bolt on Portal box Project]

Just finished that axle testing, looking really good. They are definaltly strong enough, as with all thinkings testing took alot longer than first estimated. I tested in bending as well as torsion to assess the ability of the axle in cornering and side impact...

And finally, after approx 2 years...?...?...

[37" Tyres on a Defender]

Hi Defender

my truck cab (200tdi) run 35 FEDIMAS which actually measure a tad under 37". its running a 2" lift and i had to trim front and rear arches, although it depends on what width tyre you intend to use and how stiff your suspension is (mine runs D44 OME springs)

Drivetrain wise low 1st isin' t low enough and if your running a manual and do alot of winching you could expect premature clutch wear, i run an underdrive. i am not sure on std drivetrain coping with it easily as i uprated mine prior to fitting them so cant comment. it depends on what off roading you are doing, a 37" spinning wheel suddenly stopping has to displace alot of torque!

On road they are fine from a pulling point of view, 5th becomes an overdrive really rarely gets used unless long A road etc. pump has been tweaked a bit. Brakes take some effort!

i cant find any pictures side on that show the FEDIMAS with the arches cut. there is one below without the arches cut on FEDIMAS and another showing what i cut on the front for the FEDIMAS to not foul (its on 33" BFGs)

Good afternoon,

I'm seriously thinking of fitting an underdrive on my 90".

Characteristics :

- 35"x10.5"x16" SSr (in fact 84.25" real)

- 300 tdi

- Halfshaft Ashcroft front and rear are coming

- Bigger intercooler and pump optimized

- truetrac's front and rear

In fact, everything is working perfectly on road, 70mph without any problem is 5th gear but a problems when offroading.

For example, see this video (9min30) this slope was unsucessful in 1st gear (wheel turning too fast) and sluggish in 2nd...

I think with underdrive, I could have try in 1st underlow, after 2nd, 3rd etc...,

What is your opinion?

[Slotted bushes for front articulation?]

this doesnt show it very well but i dont have a better picture really. need to take it up a twist off ramp!

The movement on the front end is now restricted by the plus 5 inch dampers. My suspension is the mostly gywn lewis parts

Really nice front travel ! And thx for advice ;-)

[Slotted bushes for front articulation?]

Good afternoon everybody,

I want to add front articulation to my 90, I already have a complete Gwyn Lewis kit and I want more front articulation, but without 3-links.

I've heard about "slotted bushes" or 3 bush of one type and another one different or anything else...

With google, I find "Haultech Engineering slotted front bushes", an australian company, but nothing really clear about this company, already exist or not?

In Uk, is there any "slotted bushes" manufacturer?

Thx
