gearing

[moggy1968]

I am planning to fit 235/85x16 tyres on my HJ60. I am assuming this won't do much for the gearing. Any ideas what may rectify this?
I am fitting ARB air lockers if that makes any difference to what can be done.

If your 60 is loaded up and you want to fit bigger tyres as well you can compensate this by fitting a pair of diffs from a 60 auto. They are 4.11 as against 3.7:1. 60's struggle with overgearing, unless of course you fit an aftermarket turbo kit which will increase power by 25-40%.
If you are fitting ARB lockers you could have new ring and pinions (4.11) at the same time.

do they fit in the same casing? Do you happen to have any

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Yes they fit just the same. Yes I have some. I am going to sort your battery trays this weekend and your front panel as well.
