jad Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi Everyone I wanted to get your opinion on which diff is stronger? Im not too interested whether or not the diff locks though. I also know you can get an ARB centre for the salisbury diff. Does this make it stronger or just give it the ability of locking? Thanks Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Somewhat acedemic / pointless poll IMHO Salisbury is a super strong diff as it is, locker won't IMHO add much strength TBH Salisbury rarely fail, when they do its either that its worn to b*ggery or is in a application far extreme - ie LS1 engined monster race truck etc Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Wot he said ^^ if you manage to bust a standard Salisbury you really need to take some lead out of your right foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front salisbury is limited by halfshafts and cv and this can be helped by landcruiser cv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 I will hopefully reach 400bhp+ in the next couple of years (up to a thousand if i get really bored when I get older!) so thought i would ask! It would mainly be a road/laning/camping truck. Not looking for massive bogs with it.... Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 A thousand horsepower in a camper van Brilliant - see you on Top Gear You never know, one day...... 400bhp is fairly realistic, 1000 will require a fair bit more money! but 1000bhp 4wd, doesnt that remind you of another car? but considerably cheaper...... it would be er "interesting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
