I have probably said this 10 times here, I will maybe do it or maybe not, and I am currently gathering as much actual information as I can from people with real world knowledge. One of those people was on this forum after a few pages, and the rest are on another forum. There may be new people...

My shortest post was the word "yes" so your latest gotcha comment has failed, again.

Obviously something a bit below 1:1. But obviously the next lowest gear is the same and that is all you need to know. If you absolutely have to know the answer to the question then I suggest you look it up on Google because this is a complete waste of time and a dead end. If I was changing...

No I was thinking something like juvenile or childish or 12 year-old girl mentality.

The attached image is from RRPhil on another forum where he has been helping me to understand the actual situation not the hysterical made up irrelevant situation. According to his calculations without the modification at 75 mph I will be doing 75/39.8x1,000 RPM = 2,542 RPM. According to his...

Good to know that you are imagining me wearing Lycra, and not helping to solve my simple engineering question. There is a word for people like you. What is that word again, I forgot?

Yes of course, and given my car's engine an d gearbox operating range this will not happen. Everyone here seems to think that this minor changed to the differential ratio will suddenly cause me to be driving around at 500 RPM on the highway, having to slam down my throttle just to get up a...

Totally. You cannot even put different wheels on the car without them adding a premium to the insurance price. Any modification versus how my car arrived from the dealer 23 years ago is considered a modified vehicle.

Sure if I was towing a horse float and I was desperately concerned about accelerating up every hill, but in a car that is designed to tow 140% of its weight, that will have just one man, three dogs and some clothes in it this will not be an actual real world problem. I don't know how many times...

So true, if the 8 speed did not have the 2.76 ratio differential that I was considering using. So the 2.76 ratio differential is ok in the 8 speed where the second highest gear is 1:1 ratio but not ok in my 5 speed where the second highest gear is 1:1 ratio? You literally proved my whole point.

If you were right then everybody would drive at the maximum speed on the highway in a lower gear than top gear. For example in your eight speed Range Rover you would shift down to seventh gear or even into sixth gear, for lower torque. No one does that and car companies make a top gear with a...

Yes, changing both front and rear diffs, as I explained in my initial question that created this monstrosity of a thread. I also looked at changing the secondary gears inside the transfer case, but there is nothing available for my rare NV225 transfer case. I also looked at changing the fifth...

I grasp that fact but I have said maybe 20 times that I do not care about acceleration because that will be only before entering the highway or exiting the highway hours later. So once again my idea won't work because of something that I am not bothered about? This is why I have continued to...

You are talking about a situation where a car is accelerating in a higher gear than the optimal gear, requiring more torque. When driving at a constant speed on the highway for several hours this will not be the situation I will be facing (as I explained I will be doing in my initial question...

I read threads a few months ago about people changing the L322 to a manual gearbox. I stumbled upon them when I first had my idea and was doing some research online. I might have seen your thread, did you use an X5 gearbox? I watched a number of people saying that the people were not allowed...

Actually the question was real and the idea is valid as has been confirmed on another forum, but without all of the insults. The people here have spent 22 pages insulting me and I have just keep responding to their insults, nothing more. Even after maybe 50 failed gotcha questions they still...

My car is 23 years old so I would not get any service from Land Rover so I do not really understand this line of questioning. I do not think Toyota would give you a new chassis on a 23 year old Land Cruiser. I used to have a Toyota Land Cruiser in Australia, which was a 1980 model or something...

The local SKF distributor is sending me a seal that should be suitable, arriving next week, so thank you for your knowledge on this subject.

There is a YouTube channel called Matt's Off Road Recovery where they build off road recovery vehicles from other cars / SUVs. There is a recent episode called, "You Were Right… Everything Wrong With My Fleet!" In the episode he talks about all of the modifications that he made to cars that...

Bored but you are still coming back here and commenting here? How dumb is that, or are you lying? Given that I am not posting new comments here but only responding to insults, there are about 20 pages of people who cannot leave, who keep commenting here every day. How is that boring when you...
