Id love to know what transfer case the interdependent Motorsports guys recently swapped to, they have RWD and 50/50 by demand now.

 

They might share the info if you emailed them.

 

I've got a Landrover Discovery series 1 that is awd but has a locking centre diff. I've never got stuck in that and have taken it through heaps of mud. It's on similar tyres as the territory but has more ground clearance.

 

I reckon a rear locker would be all you need. Lsd would work but would wear out pretty quick offroad I reckon.

the ford m86 lsd is capable enough. I still desire on road manners over 4wd use.

 

arent the true tracks more traction based lockup so u still need to feed it berries for lockup? otherwise it will still bias a wheel? 

 

I did ask them on fbook but they weren't keen on going into detail. perhaps if I was local, rocked up in arvo with beers theys would tell me.

 

ps puff put a goanywhere lokka in your rear. only 300$ guaranteed traction haha... just get the nice click click click when turning

Either that or get bogged. I'm not going anywhere near a soft surface unless I've got an lsd or locker in the rear and some recovery gear lol.

selectable rwd and locked power split

Haha I was just going through the comments and noticed you had posted there already. I haven't put in any time into working out what he's done but it couldn't be that hard to do. Probably just welded something solid and disconnects the front shaft for the hub dyno. Edit: noticed he said a welder would work.

 

Like he said, it works and he's been too lazy to make something better. Nothing wrong with that.

Just looked that up. I can live with clicking and if it sucks it's not a lot of money wasted.

Edit: welder

If you weld the center you will have 50/50, a friend did this when he removed the front driveshaft for doing skids.. the center diff was just sending power to the front-aka going no where.

welded center and lsd rear will make for great grip but also you wont have great fun doing tight circles int he car-park.

 

ill have a go at welding one if a spare transfer case comes up cheap enough.

 

the diesel newer versions has an electric actuated clutch to enable the front drive...I thought he might have adapted that somehow....I looked at pictures and its physcially larger when compared to our transfers, might be a dog of a job, but maybe it worth it if you get on demands push button rwd/awd

There are a few t/cases on ebay for a few hundred bucks. It's probably worth doing if you didn't live in suburbia. All those 90 degree turns and car park work would end up stressing the drivetrain too much.

If it can hold the power, it'd be worth it, providing you don't have to spend much money to do it. I haven't looked into it at all though. I wonder if it would split it 50/50?

 

I'll get to googling eventually, but at the least I think a rear diff upgrade is needed.
