Much cheaper!!!
It cost me about $20 in materials, i cant say about Timm's setup, but i
don't remember it being too much...
Depends on what you want to do with the truck... Our Disco is full time and
while it has been built to do serious trails it will not be converted..
My 109 has been converted but it also uses bigger axles, more weight.. plus
it's lifted much more than the Disco hence more driveline angle and more
vibes to deal with...
A stock series truck with 110 (not defender) CV's an r380, lt230 and a
300TDI with AWD would be a nice ride... Timm makes this CV conversion too
although it probably won't be available to the masses for a while, while he
irons out CV suppliers and he finishes up his Series Disc brake set up which
should prove to be a beautiful thing at a reasonable cost and uses STOCK
coiler brakes...
