You're still a dumb ass for even thinking this would be drivable.


Here are a few (a few) projects i've torn some skin on. If you're as well trained as you say you are, you'll know what you're looking at. But, I have a feeling you do not have a clue.

Nice rigs, which one's yours?
Thought so.

Maybe the one without a front locker.

Just as we all thought. You're talking out of your ass and do not know shit. You're trying to understand, but the inbred side of your brain will not let you comprehend what others are trying to explain to you.

You have been told it will not work; have been given reasons why it will not work; and have been told why no one would ever run this combination. You have also been advised, only because you will not listen to what others are telling you, to try thins combo on your own and report back to us.

If you feel so strongly that this combo will in fact work in your rig, please do so. You probably will not even notice you cannot turn do to your crossed-eyes.

People do not have to be engineers, VP's, or even the man-on-the-moon to understand this is a dumb idea. It it obvious you do not have the credentials you claim. And, if you do, the technical school you attend needs to be investigated.

And not one of you pathetic, worthless, no life, dickless, pussy-ass, apparently illiterate, asshats can do the only thing that was asked in the opening post of this thread.
Which is:
STFU IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SETUP.

I've just been fucking around, calling a few loudmouth jackoffs out but this is going from funny to almost scary.
You guys truly have no fucking life, do you?
You can't stop yourself from posting.
I've read about people like you but never thought I'd see so many in one thread.

Maybe I'm being too hard on you guys.
Apparently you're still determined to protect me from myself.
I so appreciate the effort.
:smilelol:

BTW Chapped-ass, still waiting for your answer on the rigs.

His is the 2nd from the left fuckstick.

How about you quit bitching and run it since your so convinced it will work. Money says that your to much of a pussy to post back when you waste all that money to find out that people like Dan and Marc were right all along.

all this from a jack ass who said hes bored of this thread and unsubscribed. dude, your a dumbfuck, we all know it.. you can let it end already. you called out loudmouths? you are truly a f*cking clown..

and if this is the extent of your engineering prowess, that explains everything :smilelol:

Damn dude, why don't you lighten up?!

NO ONE here has run it, therefore no one has experience with this setup!

Seriously, try it and honestly evaluate it and bring some new info to the forum. I mean that sincerely.

He seems so proud of his work, what's in it?

That's the funny part.
If any of you guys would shut up long enought to actually listen you'd realize this is all moot. (for the truly stupid, that means stop typing and READ)
I didn't say I was convinced it would work. Obviously, given the post in the first place, right?

I've explained that I don't care about your opinion.
I told you why I don't care about your opinion.
I've posted this at least 3-4 times in this thread and you still don't get it.
I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings but, for God's sake, let it go.
Are you so desperate for my acceptance that you keep trying to give your opinion, no matter how many times I tell you I don't want it?
Then why keep trying?
It's pathetic.

Do you know I've gotten PMs from people laughing at you assholes?

GET A LIFE
seriously

I'm betting you have not gotten any PM's on the subject.....

If you really want to test this out, go out and drive someones truck with a front locker on the street. Lock in the hubs and lock it into 4wd. You will quickly see what the problem is.

Anyone who has built, driven, or anyone who remotely understands how a locker works, would know the answer before making a post about it in a public BBS. The reason you posted is because you do NOT understand it. People quickly understood you do NOT understand an automatic locker therefore offered some info to you.

It does not matter if it's a Rover, a Jeep, Toyota, Sammy, Yugo.......if the front is locked, it's a dangerous set-up for street use.

If you understood how a Detroit works, you would have understood before posting that a Detroit is LOCKED when you have power to the pinion. That means when you are making a turn from a stop light, or pulling into a parking place, you would not be able to turn. Even with a Hydro-steering set-up, the front wheels would "slide" as you made a turn. In order to run such a device up front, the front axle MUST have the ability to un-lock or discontinue power to the pinion. You can't to this in a Rover with a stock LT-230.

You can, however, convert the LT-230 to 2wd. Being the mad Jedi engineer you are, you should be able to figure this out easily. In fact, in your fully staffed and equipped facility, you should be able to machine the parts we need to do this conversion, too. When you get around to doing this, maybe then we can re-visit this thread. Until then, you're a dumbass and you should shut the fuck up before making yourself look even more stupid.

x2 on just trying it, if you really wanna chew up your D1s front end.
if you really have a great shop then you have the resources to screw around, have fun!

IMHO, if I wanted to run that I'd just buy another CJ7/Dana 300 combo, floating front/rear axles.

my buddy is selling his D1 for parts, pm me when you are ready. :D

being an engineer does not mean that you know what you are doing. a few of my friends are engineers, and i know several others. only two, my best friend and his older brother, are any good around the garage. they learned the same way i did: driving, breaking, fixing, trying, repeat.

i could fabricate the products that you sell, but why?

Let me see, when I post a question here, it means I want answers from people with experience and knowledge (of which there are plenty) about something I don't know about or can't figure out. I listen to the people with experience, I don't get mad and throw a temper tantrum and start cursing at people if I don't get the answer I wanted, I listen to the voice of experience (which is what I wanted), thank people for their response and more than likely I'll listen to the voice of experience and not do something retarded, (which is what I wanted to prevent doing in the first place). I think the basic fact here is no one's done this on a Land Rover because they figured out beforehand that it would be a major problem, thus no one's actually done it, because they actually get it. Man I'm 53, been wheeling since I was 16, and I still don't know it all and never will.
