    This is another aproach...tridem! . Axles 2 and 4 will be lifted 95% of the time. If the terrain is soft, all three axles will give extra flotation. Need a super reduced turning circle? Lower axle 2 and lift axles 3 and 4. Making the tridem compact could be possible using narrowed series axles for 2 and 3 and a widened coiler axle. Could be easy with the correct offset reversible wheels, just in the same way as seen in front vs rear axle in twin wheeled vans. That will give an axle arrangement similar to Nazi tanks. . Problem? If you need to take out one wheel from axles 2 or 4, you will need first to take out axle 3´s wheel. Packing transmissions for 3 axles in so little space is another challenge...

    Unfortunatelly I have no access to one of those. Even our SI LWB hearse has Series III style diffs, with no six bolt seal housing

    Yes, but it´s made from vapour and only exist in my mind!

    Just some questions for Bill, Why so much holes in the casing´s lip? The gear that goes in the diff´s pinion, needs to be modificated or just by coincidence the have the same splines? How is the box´s casing joined to the diff´s casing? Welding?

    Bill´s famous drop box.

    Hi TDman! I'm with the smartphone now, but at night I will have access to a laptop and I will post some pictures of Bill's drop boxes that he has sent via FB. What design have you been thinking for your 6x6?

    New info for this old thread. Santana 2500DC (88", LT85+230, parabolics) has the shortest rear prop I have ever seen in a production vehicle: 380mm at rest. Box end is double cardon.

    I´m allready doing it! Land Rover just vapor, but the garage development is real. Fighting with stone and rocks at the moment...
  9. o_teunico
    That is the idea...I cannot take the multi axle out of my head! Thanks to both of you.

    Just a doubt I have regardind 1/4 elliptic suspension. If I cut a spring at half for creating a 1/4 setup, the load rating is retained or reduced to the half?

    This has been the gift that wife has given me for Valentine´s day It reads, in galician, "O´Teunico´s workshop". Nice...

    Soren, your bar looks very easy to fabricate. I like that. Most bars I have seen, mainly built by americans, use shackles.
  13. o_teunico
    Soren, any advise is welcome! Any pic of your anti wrap device?

    That was what he said, that it was so lesser material that even pegged it was going to be weak, so he never actually tried to pegg a series diff.

    Back in 1998/1999 I saw an ad at a spanish 4x4 magazine from a guy that had for sale a Santana parts catalogue. Unfortunately he already sold it when I phoned, but he lived just some miles from me and he kindly made a copy from the catalogue he kept for himself. In 2002 a friend of the Club Land Rover Todo Terreno digitalished it with an auto feed scanner he had at work. We also scanned the Santana Series III owners handbook. I don´t have the digitall version, but you can find it at http://www.clublandrovertt.org/ , but I guess it´s only available for members (I´m no longer member of that club, but hope to join again soon). A search with e-mule type thing for "catalogo de recambios land rover santana serie III-IIIA" may work.

    That was my intention with the Disco. I even contacted Dave Ashcroft to see if his diff pegging kit will fit a series diff, but he said that series cw/p are of much lesser material than coiler ones. I will have to pay for a pair of HD 4.75 cw/p and 1:1 pinions, copare that to the zero cost 3.54 diffs and LT230 I can source from my bro´s rotten Disco! The idea is to end with a wide axle, 5sp and Tdi 109".
  18. o_teunico
    That was difficult to package in a 100" Disco, but in the 109" I have some extra space, and with a minimum engine/box relocation (slihtly higher and forward) and an angled propshaft joining the two t-boxes, the second one slightly lower for helping with prop angles/SOA, could work. Just an idea at the back burner at the moment.
  19. o_teunico
    Koos, very nice 109" the one you have! I want to make it stage by stage, and be able to drive it meanwile, so no Toy axles. As you did before SOA, I want to fit LR coiler axles. That way I could fit lockers to the series axle (along with 24 spline shafts from ROAM O/R). That lockers will later fit the wider coiler axles and, beeing 100% Rover, will make it easier to service. If for maintaining roll over stability I need 1.5 times the extra lift in wider axles, coiler axles with offset wheels plus spacers are 300mm wider than series, perfect for 8" lift. I have some spare rear axle leafs (both eliptic and parabolic) and fitting longer front leafs was already in the agenda. One of the first crazy ideas I want to make is fitting an extra divorced 1.22 LT230 along with the series transfer plus 3.54 diffs. That will give me nearly 10% higher gearing with the addition of double low box.

    And one like this one?

    I simply think that the forward control concept is far superior to "bonnet" design. It doe not waste space in front of the windscreen and full loaded has a nearly 50/50 load share. VW made a forward control with the beetle and it was much, much more successfull than the bonnet type. Aussies were clever enough and used the Isuzu 4BD engine. Land Rover UK could have contacted CAT, Perkins, Deutz or any other reputable diesel engine manufacturer. LT230 + big ZF manual box and Sal´s with D60 internals, 1.5" halfshaft and lockers, ant the army could have had a super HD vehicle.
  23. o_teunico
    IMHO best Land Rover design ever is the Santana 1300. Nearly 100% common spares with the regular 109" LR but with 1.3 Tonne payload and 3m+ bed. Van/Bus bodies were also available. Unfortunatelly Land Rover UK´s LLAMA project was unsuccessfull, but it could have been a great car
