I have a frankenrover. The shell is a '73, but it has a 300 TDI, a 5-speed, and coil sprung axles. I asked the guy who did the work what axles he used and he couldn't remember. This work was done in '97. They could be from a defender, but he thought maybe a Range Rover.

I looked on the axle for numbers but couldn't find any. Do I need to look harder?

 

What lug pattern are we talking about a front or rear axle

 

5 bolts. Here's the wheel: https://i.imgur.com/9mATmiR.jpg

Talking about both axles I guess.

 

Twin brake hoses definitely range rover classic

 

Thats for sure

 

i agree with the guys too . but the diff looks just like my 97 defender from here ...

 

The diffs all look the same they interchange as do almost all the other parts

 

Thanks guys. I do believe it is from a Range Rover Classic. I'm about to get new springs and shocks so I wanted to make sure I was getting the right ones. Right now I'm looking at Terrafirma. Seems like you can't go wrong with OME, Terrafirma, or Bilstein. Anyone got strong opinions on this?

 

What are you going to use it for?

 

Easy - moderate off roading. Also as a semi-regular go-to-work vehicle. Nothing extreme. I have a hard top but not a whole lot of extra weight.
