    Now can´t take the Hummer hub image out of my head! Maybe the hub could be converted to Rover wheel stud pattern, in a similar way as was made in the Spidetrax 90 from pirate4x4. Anothe advantage of the Hummer design is that brakes are out of the harms way in the diff, and not in the hub.

    My brain is building an image of a Hummer-Jaguar XJS Dana 60 axle under a Landy. Mmmmmmmmmmm... This picture from a Hummer hub has been taken from pirate4x4. Mog 404 parts seem beefer... http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/mercedes/116600-hybrid-hummer-axles-versus-mog-hybrid-axles.html

    Dirtydiesel, what bushing are you using in Wrangler´s unilink?
  4. o_teunico
    Avalibility of parts and weight saving will be the pros.

    Hummers are independent+portal. Also have CTIS and double beadlocks. Early ones are more than 20 years old now. If the parts could be cheaply sourced and posted from US... This pic is from pirate4x4. Uses Hummer parts, but they have left halfshafts laying horizontaly. With halfshafts in "suspension drop" position it could be a super-portal with maybe +8" extra clearance. Only problem in Europe will be sourcing tyres for Hummer´s 16.5" rim.

    Si, it´s maybe time of developing the x-portal axle with those parts from the twisting Vitara buggy.

    It seems a very rare thing that front Salisbury. I have seen it only in some armoured Shorlands. Sorry, can´t help with part no. or diagrams.

    Redneck solution is a trailer ball. Grader balls seems to be quite popular and HD. Fortunately I live "near" (about 100km) from Ponferrada. There is Europe´s biggest power equipment breaker, Casquero www.casquero.es/

    Errrrrrrr...think that this other x-joint will be useless in a Landy, but maybe for the bedroom...
  11. o_teunico
    Dubai number plate says it all...
  12. o_teunico
    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ground clearance!
  13. o_teunico
    Have seen this in one of the cars from Tornado Motorport... ...and I was guessing if this kind of arrangement could be used as an option instead of traditional portal axles. They seem light and could be made 100% Rover with diffs, shafts, hubs, etc. from scrap/secondhand parts from L322 Rangies, Disco 3/4 or RRS. Parts from a 500HP RR in a Tdi Disco 1 will certainly become bombproof.

    Sourced from Difflock forum... Si´s mighty x-joint More here http://forum.difflock.com/viewtopic.php?t=16760&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
  15. o_teunico
    Nice Merc, but certainly the price will be an obstacle. I like the portals and CTIS. I have never seen anything similar out of a factory and avalible at a franchised dealer. It looks more like a SEMA thing...
  16. o_teunico
    The more 1Link setups I see, the more I like them...It´s so simple and flexible...In a coiler the axle will need no modification and the bolt-on gbox crossmember and radious arms will be very easy to adapt to this system. It will be also extremly easy to revert it to hockey stick+panhard setup
  17. o_teunico
    Is this an example of that?
  18. o_teunico
    Somethig like this? I like that idea.
  19. o_teunico
    What´s the best way of doing that: A or B? (radius arms heated in forge and bent)
  20. o_teunico
    Those are the ones I want for the Disco. Fedima makes them in both 9.00R16 and 35x10.5R16 marking, but it´s the same tyre. This will be a selectable version of that Good treads also http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=27817 and http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/land-rover/816718-diy-3-link-front-suspension-rrc.html

    In this situation a mid-axle and front little wheels, like in Bill´s 6x6, will become very handy! Notice also buggy #38 with lambo-doors!
  23. o_teunico
    Si, how is the front axle attached to the "Y" piece? What prevents it from wrapping? Nice Fedimas. 9.00? How ended the twisting buggy experience?
  24. o_teunico
    Very nice project and with lots of detailed pics.
  25. o_teunico
    What about the steup proposed by Flatback90 and used in the Auverland A3? Seems very easy and cheap to make. With it the diffs nose will be allways pointing to t-box.
