Drakes Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yes. Much smoother then LT230 and drives much more positivley around bends. Also get a centre diff that works great on roads with patchy snow or ice as it "locks" as and when you need it. Mine is fitted with an auto box and make a great alround package. It also seems to work well off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 People are scared of the viscous going, but everyone I've heard who's had one rates them off-road, especially with an auto, makes for a very lazy driving experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I ran one on mine for a few years. The only downside I ever found was the gearing, with a comparatively easily available choice of four ratios the LT230 gives you a lot more flexibility in matching your gearing to suit your engine and tyre size. On the plus side though the BW is generally a lot quieter than an LT230 and the viscous diff works just as well as a manual one. When I was trialling a few people suggested that it may have had a negative effect on my turning circle but I seemed to win a lot of trials so I was never convinced !
