Rebuilt diffs with all new timken bearings, Detroit rear, TrueTrac front and Ashcroft 4.12 gears. Not really hard but time consuming. I'll post some pics later tonight. If the rain hold off I'll be pulling the rear hubs, replacing the wheel bearings, throwing in the diffs, and changing TC oil tomorrow.

My goal is to get a winch that is faster and/or higher weight pull. The Zeon is nice but its huge at 24.25" wide. That's too wide for my bumper if I want to keep my Hella lights, which I do. I'd grab a Warn 8274 in a heartbeat but I'd have to cut the bottom of my hood to make it fit.
So I'll keep searching.........

Well Ive spent so much time wrenching on the Rover I'm about sick and tired of working on it! Yesterday we rebuilt the diffs. 4.12 Ashcroft gears, Timken bearings, and a Detroit and TrueTrac. Today I changed the rear wheel bearings, installed the diff, rear Ashcroft axles, and started on the front. Got the D/S dropped, hubs, stubs, and axles pulled along with the tie rod. Diff is ready to be swapped out. Ready to be done!
Oh yeah, I worked in the rain all day! NOT FUN
