Good evening to one and all, and a merry Landy Christmas to everyone. What experience have people had with Range Rover axles or Land Rover axles and LARGE tyre / wheel combinations, such as the U.S. type rock crawlers, with tyres sizes over 35 inch dia and what sort of mods can be carried out to these axles to improve the possible problems??

This sort of thing has been covered in the magazines many times - most have back issue section on their web sites that should help find the info.

Ok thanks for that can you sugest some mags that would have covered it

101's come with 9x16 tyres on as standard (meaning 34-35inch diameter), and there are a fair few people fitting bigger unimog wheels to them. So you might want to read up on their axle arrangement, as they can take the strain.
for mags try landrover enthusiast (LRE), landrover owner (LRO) and landrover world to start you off. Google should get you the exact URL's
You do the maths first, then you do something like this:
Thanks for a very interesting web site, looks very nice, like the tyres alot :-) How do you know the 101 axles were designed for a 7.5 ton truck ??? what was the truck, do you have any more info about it ??
Rich
I asked the manufacturer.
There wasn't one. It was designed for 'a' 7.5 tonne truck.
