We've been running 205/80/16's for a while and did not have a problem with 60mph with the old transfer box or the Rocklobster!
Would love to get a rocklobster fitted... money isnt the issue, its finding the correct bits to give to Rob Storr. Even trying to contact him direct I have been unsucessful to ask if he has any off the shelf.... Then I would have to fit the damn thing and I just donot have the time.
As much as I would HATE to, I fear a Landrover is probably the only way forward as things are so much more readily available and cheaper... plus there are loads of specialists out there, and I can have a V8... time for a beer I fear !!
How dare you even think about it!!! Shame on you!!!
Only joking - well a bit - I know what you're saying about the lure of the V8, especially as you have had TVR's but Landrover V8's would not stand up to your wading tastes - the poxy Dizzy is at the front ready to get soaked - so you'd have to Megajolt it or Megasquirt it - the country's leading specialist in Megasquirt happens to be in my club! Then you'll need LPG to cut the costs and the tank would have to go in the boot.
Seriously though - either speak to Rob Butler at ORA or
Redacted (half the price of the others - about £500) as it's not that bigger deal.
But leave the green oval alone - there's a reason why parts are so easy to get - they need them more often!!!

Can I just ask where or what is
Redacted ? I've done a google search but I cant find anything about it.
And I agree you should leave the green oval alone!!! Parts for them may be cheaper and easyer to get but I have spent a small fortune on my disco! Hopefully I wont have to spend so much on the Jimny!

Rockwatt is a guy on difflock who does rocklobster gearboxes but I think you have to supply him with the gearboxes etc to do the job
Kirkynut or Martin will confirm if I am right or not as they both have transfer boxes by
Redacted

Yes you do have to supply Richard aka Redacted with some bits.
You need:
An SJ410 transfer box
An SJ413 transfer box
An SJ413 centre prop
a large SJ flange to meet the front prop
SJ413 rear prop with large flanges on at least the end that meets the rear diff
Or see Martin's guide to see how to get around sourcing the flanges as they are like hens teeth.
These can all be picked up on ebay from time to time, so just keep an eye out for them and collect all the bits over time and one day you'll have them all and prepare for your trip to Scunthorpe to see Richard and then wait 6-8 weeks for a phone call and arrange to collect them or have it all posted to you.
To be able to get into contact with Richard, send him a PM on Difflock.
Or get one from ORA/Rob Storr without half this hassle but pay a fair bit more. It's a choice thing.
But Jason, your Jimny will be transformed with one! Just stay away from those green ovals!

I had to resurect this thread when I saw this photo my son took while I was trialling on Sunday
Attachment CIMG2336.JPG not found
I was quite surprised only mods are +2inch springs and shocks, rear shock lower brackets and the AR bar is off, I'll have to put it up on ramps , take some better pictures and measure it.
On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.
