Is there much involved in doing this conversion in a Disco with automatic transmission?

I'm living in Ireland

Have done and am now sorted

No Probs, anyone been able to get the bits to repair on of these Detroits?

Does any one know if a Detroit truetrac can be refurbished? if so is there a kit available

I have broken one Gkn halfshaft in the last four years of serious off roading, I rate the as the best on the market really.

I have always considered the Cv as the weak link in the transmission, and as such we have strenghtened every thing else, (diffs, half shafts) , my concern is what will be next on the list of "must haves" when the cv's stop breaking, the cv is accessable and relatively easy to repair and it pays to have a spare or two behind the front seat, What if the last piece in the jigsaw of bits to fail turns out the be the centre diff? if one of these goes clonk during an event then the chances of effecting a repair are less than a simple cv

I would have thought given that the lane was clearly defined between the banks that the usage of the whole lane would cause less damage overall to the ground. As a country lad brought up on a farm we would never use the same track twice when driving on soft ground this meant the ground had a chance to recover where as if the same track is used every time then you get deeply cut tracks which stay for ever.

minivin did I see you take a picture of the event?

Hi Mike all got home ok, had a great weekend, thanks to everyone, Tommys Farm was the biz, hopefully we will all get there next year, anyway there is always Kerry, k

I wonder if the removing a nipple has anything to do with having it in the bedroom

Ha Ha I'm not the first to make that mistake Rockabilly 90

Nice looking green 90 Tonk there

Well Mike will the head swelling be gone before October? otherwise we might have to take off the roof of Tonks 90

Hey Tonk congrats on being elevated to the Chosen few moderators

You will have to change both axles as the track is different too

Been there and done that, it was a great engine and had loads of torque. Got the mating plate from milniners, but there was a shed load of other machining and fixing to make it fit. The truck ran out of steam at 55. I have a 110 with a straight 6 nissan engine in it

We have had the same problem when we made the track rods strong enough we started to shear off the track rod ends, even genuine ones, so a compromise are Qt bars /bearmach strenghtened bars and std track rod ends and even these will bend . Tonk should you consider spring steel ?

Tonk, a 90 axle with leaf spring mounts ??

We have set Tonk. Looks like you are going to be busy again this week

Not before October anyway as we are going to stay with Nick As re spares all we are bringing remembering we have to cross the pond are half shafts, and our AA cards, and half a landrover in bits and pieces BTW Tonk replaced my first GKN shaft this weekend, Truck is having a total overhaul of front axle and a looking at the rear. As for having fun.........Mand, you try and not have fun, Did anyone get maps for Wales yet?

Yep Tonk thats the one

Its nice to hear there are still helpful people out there. Its also good to see trainspotter go to the trouble of acknowledging the good service he got and spreading it around.

Mand who do I see about getting a decent description under ny name like you and Tonk? newbie seem a bit shiney for me really

Any piccies Mand? we had a representitive of HB4X4.UK at the jamboree here also.
