Steggels is aroind 240 HP and thats plenty, been aroumd it in person and offroaded with him in it. Pulls preety hard even with 37's and sounds sweet !! Definately one im doing in the future. He uses the daf 42 box which I think hes crunched 1 already though. L230 is the best transfer box made in my opinion although will struggle above 250 - 300 which is also probably around the limit of a standard LR chassis
He has hd springs on the front standards on the back and hydro assist but thats mainly for the 37's
Do it and dont listen to doc he's mad
Lt230 with straight 2x4 or 4x4 conversion is allegedly good for 1000bhp and I know of several offroad racing a lt230 with 500bhp chevys and surviving race after race with just a oil change.
I wish I had you tubed my old beasts I made but couldnt be asked but hey who cares, must say I wish I filmed my last well turned up cummins 6 wheeler out accelerate the mrs Audi and the look of a mini cooper drivers face when I let him go past then I put my foot down
