Author Message   200 Tdi Posted on Wednesday, May 15, 2002 - 11:45 pm:    How big can you reliably go on stock (24 spline)disco axles ?. I have twin Arb lockers and have just ordered maxidrive low range gears so with 56:1 low low can drive some bigger tyres. Typical terrain is mud driving. John D   Craig M.

Highland (Shortbus) Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2002 - 12:32 am:    Yes John, but the low range reduction and tire upgrade will change all that. 56:1 for mud? If you are determined to run the factory 24 spline stuff, I would at least have them cryo-treated... I broke non treated 24spline stuff way too often with 33x12.50x15's w/4.11:1 diffs and factory lowrange... fwiw- Craig
