Offroad-Express

Hi there all I gota Ln130 with a v8 in it, 5 litre holden.
Every thing else on it is standard so Im wondering what do you all recon about the factory driveline, in terms of strength off-road and what would be the first thing to upgrade?

Hmm, my money would be on the CV's, then diffs in close second

Take it out and put it through its paces, see what happens perhaps.

cvs ????,theres not much you can do with the std ifs cvs but also youre front diff will be the next weak point because there only 7.5 inch oppossed to 8 inch in the rear,has youre truck been lifted ? if yes how?cranked t bars or............,youre obviously backing a 308 what g/box are you using is it turbo box or non turbo?

Its running the box from a 2L-T, hasnt been lifted-though maybe it has been in the past as it looks a bit higher than usual-how can I double check for sure?Its got 31`s on it and theres 12-13" of guard clearance-yeah need more rubber too....

I would say if you give it some stick off road you might pop the front diff, or possibly the front CV's .... seen one down here with the lexus V8 and he eats front diffs and CV's

Rear end should be fine, the 8" diff is pretty tough, and if you have the R series box in it that should hold up to. Check the model plate under the bonnet, you should hope to find R150 or R151 for the gearbox/trans. Otherwise its the W56 or G52 which will last a while but eventually give up !

Give it heaps ( stuff a solid axle under it after your sick of trashing the old front end )

hey is this the surf ive seen in orewa?

best way to find out what your gonna need to upgrade mate is take it out and give it some shit see what binds up/breaks etc will be doing either the stadia or tirua river track(grapevine?) when i get the new steering link rod done in the cruise missile in the not to distant future,maybe mid june'ish at a guess, so your more than welcome to come when we go, im sure D,boy will be there if hes not to scared and whoever else is keen, not to far from auks either. should be a good fun day. or somewhere else if the sugestions are made, im keen to go anywhere theres mud

do you have mud tyres for it ?
does it have a winch?
are you adventurose(mad) enough ?

all relevant questions....

Dude, I'm shitting my self already!!!!!

hahaha,, sweet gonna be rad

hey woopass you forgot the most important question=DO YA SMOKE??????????????????????

Hey Wopass - whats the deal with access up the Stadia these days - I thought it was all private land now?

Damb that sounds like fun, but I dont have any mud tyres or a winch...
And nuh if havnt been to Orewa in it yet.Shes not certed but took it for cert check this week and failed on a few minor things- just WOF stuff, moter swap was all ok.
Also anyone know if the 4wd computer can opperate independantly from the 2L-T ECU? Tryin to work out a new 4wd lume and just wondering if il have any probs with that.
Cheers.
