I love the easy wins!

had same issue. I passed a longer bolt through the clamp, and put a locknut on backside...

look forward to your F n R truetrac experience....

This has been a good read for the thread I started on maybe buying and working on a 2003 I'm considering. Wow OP, good job!

Default 3/18 Update

Finally got diffs w/ truetracs from GBR. Couldn’t wait so I had to open one. Gotta admit - I,be never unscrewed a package before!

Going to attempt the rear diff this weekend and see how it goes. Planning on using this write up. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...nt-rear-78876/

Diffs came in pails. Genius!

Unbox - err unscrewing



Beautiful!

These will run with the traction control. Using a lower gear ratio (4.11) with Detroit TrueTrac. Good write up here: Coil Sprung - Differential Carriers | GBR Utah
