Yes they do.BUT they are a bunch of gear heads and they might have better answers for him.
I like LRF's better because we dont have as many arguments as those guys. Our members are more helpfulI think.

Dweb seems like a bunch of elitist that if you're not in the inner loop and think exactly the same as them then you're just asking for a lot of abuse. They do actually have a lot of information if you can get passed the insults.

I use Dweb for the tech sections and parts for sale. That's where I got my shocks, and winch and some other parts. I read all the posts for the Disco board, but rarely do I post there. I also like LRRForums because there are a lot of local guys and the Cerrone's run the site.

I would put the strenght of the Disco's axle between the Dana 35 and Dana 44. Something like the chrysler 8.25 that I had in mycherokee.
I did some axle strength research before I bought my rover but never could get an exact answer. I sure hope disco axles are stronger than the 8.25 since rovers weigh a lot more than the unibody cherokees.

If I was going to by a new truck then it would be a hard choice with Land Rovers

What do you mean? Even the new non-solid axle rovers are better then most new 4x4s out there. Tacoms, FJ cruisers ect..
