I'd LOVE to - Only thing the last time I checked the couple of brothers that were importing them were charging 3K an axle. Lots of mulah and no parts available. The gear reduction would be awesome for crawlin' but not so great actually driving somewhere.brutus_skx said:You should use Portal axles.
I believe you are correct sir. With a SW bumper you can get a bigger tire in the front wheel well, seems at issue is the rear. This Photoshopped comp is to scale -->8th Man said:The 36" IROK's and the 37" SSR's are both 36.8" in diameter.
Here's a flex shot of Jordan's IROK's at full rear articulation:

Even SAS'd and SOA'd, these tires are about as big as you can go and still fit in an Xterra's unmodified wheel well at full tilt.
Yes, my recent research on the disco axles have revealed that they have bearing issues which has put the kibosh on that idea.RockyMtnX said:How do you plan to overcome the offset rear diff on the Disco? You are gonna have some major vibration issues with a centered t-case output. Why not start with a set of axles with tons of aftermarket support, ala D44, D60, Ford 9", etc?
