We contacted Dynatrac in 2004 to discuss the possibility of using their Pro Rock 60 axles on a Land Rover Defender based suspension configuration. Initially these were to be fitted to Neil Redpath's Ibex 240S in an attempt to finally put an end to the frequent half shaft and CV breakages that plagued the vehicle despite trying every type and specification of "upgraded" parts for the Land Rover axles. The resulting axles were fitted to the Ibex shortly before the vehicle was shipped to Australia to take part in the 2005 Outback Challenge. It is a real credit to the design and strength of these axles that they took everything that was thrown at them during the event without a single part breaking. We managed to snap two prop shafts but the axles were flawless. This despite the generous use of front diff locks over both high speed sections and rock crawling alike. Despite the power and torque of the, now, supercharged 6.2L V8 diesel the axles have yet to need anything other than normal maintenance after a full season of off road challenge events. The axles can be supplied with virtually any ratio you require including standard Land Rover ratios. They can also come ready fitted with locking differentials. We can supply the axles for self fitting or we can fit the axles to your vehicle. The axles come with spring and suspension mounts to suit Land Rover Defender, Range Rover Classic and Discovery 1 vehicles. The axles are complete with disc brakes, calipers, steering arms and we can also supply beadlock rims to suit. Contact us for further details.
