Got the prop fitted at the weekend, easy job. Filled all the nipples up with grease before fitting. Can't begin to describe how smooth it is to drive now. If you have the spare cash, get one of these. Even if your current one is adequate for your lift, these really help out to smooth out the drive.
Comparison photo, it's beefy!
Easy as changing a propshaft to fit, worth mentioning though that a standard propshaft bolt removal tool doesn't fit on the double cardan side so you have to use a round spanner end on the nut. There are cut outs that perfectly allow for this.
and then for a bit of a flex!
Even the most flex I could get on my "test area" I couldn't get the propshaft to bind so no worries there.
Took it for a drive on main roads, country roads and everything seems okay now. No real issues to report apart from it's a noisy old land rover now I've removed all the carpets and sound deadening!! Oh well, all is good.
Thinking next to get is wide arches +50mm and some 30mm wheel spacers just to bring out the track a bit. Should help stability too, which is already fine with the wider wheels.
In the new year I'm going to get a wide angle rear propshaft and hopefully save for a rear locker of some kind. Then potentially a LSD up front but we'll see. That's over a grand of extras!! I'll use it and abuse it over the winter from now and I'll see where we get.
Lastly, first recovery mission. Although not off road. Brothers Corsa battery died. Nothing exciting (that's him in the photo not me). He said it's "f***in' massive!!" lol. I just liked the photo.
be interesting to see the total weight of my landy once all the gear is fitted lol
