    Viscous fan nut tool size?

    I am away from my rover this week and would like to buy this tool before I get back home. Is it a 42mm or 36mm? I have seen many posts on both. The direction on the threads is normal correct since it has one belt? Thanks

    Pinion/diff guard

    Just alittle something I built over the weekend. Its all 3/16" plate. Where it bolts to the diff I doubled the plate at the diff and welded another plate under it to go under the pinion. This gave alittle extra room incase a rock bends it up. Since I put sides on the pinion guard I drilled...

    Swampers on Rovers, post up some picts.

    My D1 is no longer a DD and I think it needs some TSL's TSLSX's or something like that. Since Interco is not known for their sizes to be very true (32" SX runs short and a 33 TSL runs tall) I would like to see some pictures of Discos on swampers and alittle info about the lift they are...

    Truetrac diff oil

    Im pretty sure this is a stupid question but since gears and lockers are so expensive I figured Id ask anyway. I can run a full synthetic in a truetrac correct? The reason I ask is because I ran a clutch style truetrac in a camaro years ago with full synthetic and it caused the clutches to...
