live axle chat again...

[AlexD333]

After having nightmares on how to finance 15000 pounds to get all that ridiculous work done to the terrano, I was looking over their list of mods on the site, a 38" conversion for a navara has the following parts..

AT38 Contents
AT405 38x15,5R15" tires
15x12,5" alloy wheels
Dana 44 front axle, w/ARB locker
Air compressor
Torque wrench
Fender flares, painted
Running boards and brackets
Mud flaps
Speedometer calibrator
40 mm suspension lift front/rear
80 mm body lift
Differential gears (4,56:1)
Fire extinguisher
First aid kit
Wheel alignment


This conversion is mainly for utility vehicles. When converting to 38” tires, you are far exceeding the normal off road capabilities, with flotation on snow as the core benefit. This conversion requires, both lifting of the suspension and the body. Extra wide fender flares are used, 15 x12,5” wheels, 4:88/1 gear ratio, and many other modifications to the various parts of the undercarriage and the body. With the AT38 your SUV will become a super offroader, with remarkably good driveability on normal roads.
The AT38 is ideal in remote areas, like police and rescue work, construction companies, tourist driving, scientific work and many other difficult tasks.

Now forgetting this whole list for 15,000 pounds

Surely for the likes of me, I could get a live axle set and find a specialist to carry out the operation, the gearing seems to be the important thing as makeitfit seemed to be running standard gearing on 35" which reported power loss.

So either find a vehicle that has a complete live axle setup with lower gearing than the terrano, then worry about body cutting and welding later, leading to bigger wheels. In the meantime I could make cheap arches from a number of materials such as old tyres cut up ect. And suspension could be lifted right up
