jake,
d2 axles would be an obvious choice, until you figure a p38's frame is wider. the rear has a pan hard, which is better than a watts, but means you really need to modify the axles, then 'make' some radius arms, front and rear. keep in mind the arms would be tricky, because they would also need to correct pinion, wheel base, and bent to mate with the d2 axles.
I'm thinking the pumpkins being on the other side would be a set back too

The question was.. is it possible to run an lt230 and D2 axles on a p38. Obviously a lot of fab work but may be the only way to get cdl

go buy one. they are a dime a dozen now. you can get one with a sharp interior for around $3k easy. do it.

I very well might.. Going to part out this 95 I have now. Hannah has started the discussion of moving to Tallahasee to live in her house down there again.. Maybe I can dodge that bullet if I have too many vehicles to move.

I'd like to do a project that to but there doesn't seem to be an aftermarket like other Rovers

Thats what this project is about Building aftermarket support.
As for the t-case The full size jeep wagoneers from 74-79
used a Borg-warner case that had a diff in it that could be locked
like a lt230. You would have to take both t-cases apart and compare
to see if you could use the jeep diff in it.
The Becm needs to be replaced with a relay center since that
what it basicly is.

that leaves the roof rack. just try to find one of those for less than a grand anywhere near you, they always seem to be for sale on the wrong coast.


Have a look a few post down :)

wheels: this applies to DIIs as well. why are there no real aftermarket wheels that look good. i really like the look of the terrafirma Dakar wheel but its only in DI/rrc bolt pattern and only 16"..
