Sounds like good guess

Great stuff as always DeRanged, you provide some of the best tech on here What are the benefits of fitting the lower links to the backside of the housing as you have done? To get more lenght or?

With 34°c in the garage and the hot moist air rising from the pit, even swapping out engine mounts is killing me!

Yes and the lovely grip of the Krawlers! I ran the 37" Discoverers for the first 1,5 week to get a good feeling of them and then switched to the Krawlers for the remaining 1,5 weeks and even running a higher pressure because of the tubes in the Krawlers the grip was noticeably better in the loose stuff, somethig I did not expect. So now I don't know which tyres to run 1600kgs with both winches a bit of spareparts, straps etc.

Handed it over to a friend for a short run at a Trials course so was able to film it in action myself (which was weird ) Check it out:

Somewhere in between, initially thought it was just the 10 spline stub.. But then the wheel locked Up, and I knew it was the CV 😉😂 My pleasure 😁

Yeah who knew 37's on 6psi and a frontlocker would be hard on a stock CV? 😂

Thnx guys, just realized i had vid of the gearbox crane in action as well 😁 VID_20180712_080137.mp4

So far testing is going according to plan, VERY capable machine and easy to drive. Throwout bearing died om me, so the rearwinch was God-sent:

x2!

Good job mate 👍 been a Long time coming, but I bet its Worth it now you have the papers in your hands👍

Nahh I'll stay covered under the roof Besides if we're driving in stuff so muddy that it'll fil up the waffles chances are I'm already covered in it myself anyways Since when have getting dirty become a problem in 4x4 competitions? I must've been living under a rock

Haha not my problem, thats what you have a winch-bitch for right? 😎

So then, got it all finished up: Protrudes a little bit at the back, but I think it'll be alright: And finally I wasn't pleased with my placement of the waffleboards, made the rear look boring.. So they moved onto the roof instead:

Its just like a proper woman, your Landy.. Testing the true depth of your love

Well thankfully a project is never done Decided to make winch tray in the back only a week before leaving for 3 weeks of offroading Don't even have a winch to put in there, but might snatch the Warrior off of the 88" Who would've known a Series Drop-plate is perfect for the job?

P38/D2 axles on that RRC Blanco?

Yeah, problem is that the V8 has a 10.5" clutch as opposed to only a 9,5" on the Series. So all V8 bellhousings are quite a lot bigger than the Series.

No there are no other reasons, with the dent I told you I made in the bulkhead the engine can be fitted. But of your're using the RRC gearboxes you'll end up a bit further forward anyways. But then you'd have to modify the bulkhead anyways just to stuff that huge trans in there It has a viscous coupling dealing with the 4x4

Don't listen to the Rivet Counters Joe Take that drivetrain you know and trust and stuff it into the 88" and don't look back.. IMO there's no more reason to be worrying about saving RRC's now than back when there was plenty of them. Back then we all new it would end eventually anyways so the deed was no less innocent. The general movement towards originality and "numbers matching" destroys creativity and all the good tech threads on here and everywhere else!..

I don't ever see any linear form of deviation, and they might as well rise as fall in torque value. Usually when abused they tend to be too high in the lower setttings and too low in the higher. Many do the mistake of using it for those last 90Degrees on the stretchy bolts. They just don't like that

I calibrate Torque wrenches for a living, and yes you do need to wind them back or the spring will go flat.. BUT If I were you I'd shell out and buy a Stahlwille, they work in a completely different way and do NOT need to be wound back, furthermore the quality is so good you'll have the same wrench the rest of your days. With regards to calibration frequency, about every 5 years should do it on a stahlwille at a DIY shed, then you'll always be able to trust your settings, no use in using a torque wrench if it isn't telling the truth

Oldschool 88" vs Newschool 88", which will win?

Sounds like the BW would be the best choice to me They do have a tendency to go weak in the viscous coupling when abused, but thats usually on much heavier vehicles and with upwards of 35" tyres, so I'm sure you'll be quite happy with it. It sure drives nice with much less 'clunking' than the lt230
