nope still 10 spline and a serious yank forward last week now i mite be regreting in the future  :doh: :doh:

considering diff swap in the future. till then a case of less revs and no turning with diff lock in

you only have a centre difflock so if you disengage that when turning you will prob get stuck........
Unless you have managed to sneak in a set of ARBs & not told anyone  :lol:

er well i throught a truetrak locker would break axles easy as anything when turning. :-k and it get stuck most of the time when its bellyed on the chassais or something

do you have a true track in the front?
also if you have a truetrack how do you plan on disengaging it?
whether you have the centre difflock in or out it aint gonna make any odds

Waste of time and effort... Don't bother... in order to work properly they need to be self leveling (either in the light unit or the suspension) neither of which are options on a Discovery 1! Also IIRC your headlight lenses are not suitable for H.I.D and whatever benefit you might have gained is lost there as well.

This is worth a read with regards headlights -
