Megasquirt V8 - For all THOR 'Serpentine 4.0 & 4.6 V8 Engines

Xcess 4x4 New Differentials Page

We have 2 pages for our New ifferentials that are on sale for near immeadiate dispatch.

This is the 'New Differentials " Page, here you will find a selection of 'Built' units ready to be shipped and fitted.

All the pictures are of the actual differentials, we don't use 'Stock' Images.
Each is detailed as to its specification, as we have all sorts of modifications and optional extras to improve reliability and strength, so there will always be a mixed selection !

If you don't see exactly what you fancy or are unsure if what you are looking at fits your requirements just ring - advice is always neutral and free !

And a word of warning !
ANYTHING on the Section of 'New Differentials' means exactly that - It's all NEW - and this is something that is a little 'Misleading' within the industry....

For us NEW means that with the exception of the actual Differential Casing - EVERYTHING and we mean EVERYTHING else is new.
It is very common to find a 'New Differential' being sold with them using the old Crown Wheel & Pinion Gearset, and re using Old bolts washers etc etc. We Don't

Everything here will be new, the Crown Wheel & Pinion, and, we never ever reuse old bolts - it's just asking for trouble, ...
so we use all new Bolts and most of the time these are upgraded to a heavier Duty Version - this does add to the costs, and also means you very likley are not comparing like with like, so do check!

You might be suprised when you get the answer to your question(s)..

And maybe, before you finally choose some new from here check out & maybe consider some of our pre-loved differentials on the 'Pre Loved' tab,
these can save you significant amounts of money and again we try to have a vast range to chose from.

And we call ANY differential, that uses ANY existing part again other than the actual refurbished casing 'Pre loved' which is often therefore less than some other 'New' Units !!!!!

Stock is subject to rapid change - what you see today can be gone in a flash - and when it's gone ...it's gone !.

Xcess4x4s Heavily Upgraded New Ashcroft 4 Pin + Forged Cross Shaft + Tablocked - Center Only !

We recently had a large order for these modified HD centers. As with all things CNC low volume work is very expensive, so we had quite a few extra made to get the pricing down, and
as such we have built up a few for stock, but also have decided to do a bit of a 'One Off' and also offer them , as here, as Centers Only for DIYers ! !

The Spec is simple.

Brand spanking new Ashcroft 4 Pin Center, and 1st we have removed the 2 x 'cross over shafts' with the 'cut outs' (see picture) and replaced with one of our 'One Piece Forged Cross Shafts'
and then we also have had the center converted on the CNC for our 'Tablock Upgrade'. This is one serious strong center !!

The unit will come with all the 10x 'Tablock Plates, 10 x CW&P Bolts, and 10 x Locking Bolts, (The CW& Pinion bolt are specials - and I forgot to add them to the picture !!

The 'One Piece Forged Cross Shaft' - adds massively to internal strength, and sorts that weak point of the cross shafts cut out once and for all.

This center is a serious 4 Pin specification - We would happily argue you cannot buy any LR center anywhere near as strong as this - it's in a different league !.

We only have a few - when gone they are gone till we do another batch !

To understand the 'Tablock Upgrade'- Watch this video !. - A massive strength increase

New Ashcroft 4 Pin + Forged Cross Shaft + Domexed Casing + New 3.54 CWP Ref NEW4PINFCS-1

Here we have a very nice balance of an lovely Differential 'upgraded' - without going too mad on either the upgrades as a result the price. !!
This is a classic 'spend just a little bit more to get a much much much better and stronger product' differential.

Yes, you can absolutely buy yourself a cheaper 4 Pin unit, but if you can justify spending that little bit more on this unit - you'll get a much stronger differential

Lets take the center 1st.

The standard 18mm cross pins have a 50% Joint' cut from them - they are now really just 18mm x 9mm !....thats Madness and yes
they do break, and when they do - they can completly destroy the unit, as the broken part(s) the internal shaft can fly out and smash into the inner edge of the crownwheel
and it doesn't take many hits to damage the crown wheel teeth, and then thats the differential wrecked completely !

So what we have done is take those out (they do fracture easier than you might think...with the dire consequences outlined above) and replaced them with our own
'One Piece Forged Cross Shaft' - it's massively stronger and sorts that wek point out once and for all.

Then - there is the issue on the 2 x Carrier Caps.....

We have cut off the rather silly 'cost cutting' by LR 3mm hollow pins - supposedly this is going to hold your entire differential center from moving (facepalm) ...
and added our own 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade'. These are Tig welded into place and finished off with our CS80 HD locking ears, again a huge stength and reliability increase.

And then - upgrade wise - we stopped.

This helps in keeping it a differential that's more affordable - but still much stronger then the normal similar offerings out there....

The build specification is our full normal 'Ultra Build ' Spec.
All new Timken Bearings, Upgraded HD Crown Wheel Bolts, along with a new beautiful ultra high quality Italian 'Antonio Maserio' CWP 3.54 (Standard Ratio)

.......(you'd be suprised how many companies offer 'New' Differentials with an old used CWP - ask before you buy 'Is this a NEW CWP or an old one being reused ?' ...
As a result of this we have a beautiful 'Blue Check' pattern.... which means its going to be whisper quiet and reliable -absolutely textbook print there and superb !.

This all makes for a super smooth super quiet new differential, finished off with a new PUMA Drive flange upgrade and of course our Superflange upgrade.

Yes its a little bit more £s than what you may see elsewhere, but do seriously compare this specification - it's in a different league for not a lot more vs the others !

New Ashcroft 4 Pin + Forged Cross Shaft + Domexed Casing + New 4.75 Rear HD CWP

This is a 4.75 Brand New Heavy Duty Rear Cut Ashcroft Crown Wheel & Pinion Gearset, 'in a'Pegged Casing', Plus Our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade with a New Ashcroft 4 Pin center
which benefits from both our 'Tablock' Upgrade AND a our One Piece 'Forged Cross Shaft' Upgrade - A serious serious 4.75 Ratio 4 Pin unit !

Lets take the center 1st.

The standard 18mm cross pins have a 50% Joint' cut from them - they are now really just 18mm x 9mm !....thats Madness and yes
they do break, and when they do - they can completly destroy the unit, as the broken part(s) the internal shaft can fly out and smash into the inner edge of the crownwheel
and it doesn't take many hits to damage the crown wheel teeth, and then thats the differential wrecked completely !

So what we have done is take those out (they do fracture easier than you might think...with the dire consequences outlined above) and replaced them with our own
'One Piece Forged Cross Shaft' - it's massively stronger and sorts that wek point out once and for all.

All Built up into one of the stronger Earlier casing + our CS80 HD locking ears, again a huge stength and reliability increase.

The build specification is our full normal 'Ultra Build ' Spec, All new Timken Bearings, Upgraded HD Crown Wheel Bolts, along with a new beautiful HD 4.75 CW & P Gearset
resulting in a good 'Blue Check' pattern.... which means its going to be strong and reliable.

Finished off with a new PUMA Drive flange upgrade and of course our Superflange upgrade. Serious HD specification - it's in a different league for a jolly old 4 pin !

Pretty much the Strongest HD 4 Pin Standard 3.5 Ratio Pegged Differential you can possibly buy ! Ref Ultimate_4_Pin

If you simply really want just the strongest possible 4 Pin Differential for your Land Rover that you can buy - Anywhere - you have just found it .

Lets look at its specification - its quite something .

Starting with one of our Xcess4x4 'Pegged Casings', we have built this up with a New Heavy Duty 'Polished' 3.5 Rear Crown Wheel and Pinion Gearset.

It's built with our normal 'Full Ultra Build' Spec, so it has all new Timken Bearings, New Genuine Pinion Seal, a New Puma Drive flange and of course our popular Superflange upgrade

And then the fun continues

We have taken a Ashcroft 4 Pin center, stripped it, and changed the weak internal 'cross over' shafts for one of our one piece 'Forged Cross Shafts'- massive strength increase.
Then, we have CNC Machined our 'Tablock Upgrade' to the center, further increasing the strength of this entire differential - it's a lot of work - but a heck of a strength increase.

Click here and Watch our video all about how and why the 'Tablock Upgrade' is such a great option if you want a bonkers strong differential.

We have held off (As you will see in the video) the final 'Big Bearing' Conversion upgrade, that is reserved for normally total out and out 'nutcase' Comp Safari racers !!!
(If you really want the 'Big Bearing' upgrade as well, then we can do it for you, but that would at present need to be a special order - 4 - 6 weeks.)

Oh, and then to help you drool just a little bit more - take a lookie at the pictures.

This really is some differential and yes its not cheap. But you have to balance the 'cost' vs the 'spec' vs what you really 'need' for your Differential, & will cheaper be stong enough ?
We are absolutely 100% sure you can find cheaper, but strength wise ?.... No, it won't be a patch on this.!!. This is a seriously strong unit, pretty much the strongest even we can build.

If you are looking for a super super SUPER bonkers strong 4 Pin 3.5 (Standard Ratio) 'Pegged' Differential, this is the strongest and best you are going to find - hands down.
Oh, and if you are thinking that this looks good in the pictures - just wait till you see it in the flesh !!!!!

New KAM 'Old School' HD 4 Pin + Forged Cross Shaft + New Polished 3.54 CWP Ref NEW4PINKAM

We recently purchased a huge amount of brand new old stock 'KAM' Differentials stock.
Half Shafts, Spares even new Lockers, 24 spline LSDs and, as here - KAMs 'Old School' HD 4 Pin Centers.

Without a shadow of a doubt - 'Old School KAM' strength and Quality is very very different to the current offerings.
The 'Old School' is set at seriously high quality level, they were really made to be the best they could be before cost cutting and redesigns kicked in when they closed
In fact I would go as far as saying the what you are looking at here is the strongest 4 Pin center money can buy, as such we have built it to complement such a center. !

On these KAM Centers the tube and both end flanges are CNC machined from a solid rod of Billet Steel, (not Cast Steel), and the unit also has a super strong one piece 'Forged Cross Shaft' inside, which is near 20 years we have never ever seen one fail !.

Details like the NUMBER of 'Oil Entry' & 'Exit Holes' designed so that they are small enough to allow oil in and out but not just a few and HUGE holes that might let something in that would destroy your center that can't get in through small holes, and thats why there are so mnay of them on the centre tube + each hole on CNC Costs money !

We have started the build with deciding on a new 'Pegged Casing' and fitted one of our new stunning polished standard Ratio 3.54:1 CWP Gearsets.
Just look at the quality of the polished teeth of the Crown Wheel, and the blue check as well ! -

Super super quiet and Bonkers Bonkers strong - A real quality Differential from the start to finish. And its now here for sale, it deserves to be looked after please !!

Its had our Full Ultra Build spec, all new Timken bearings, Genuine Pinion Seal, upgraded bolts all round, PUMA Drive Flange and of course our popular superflange upgrade
If you are looking for a super stong, super quiet, 4 pin Pegged Differential, this is the best you are going to find.

Again, we are absolutely sure you can find cheaper, but it won't be a patch on this, compare this with anything out there and this will beat whatever you can find hands down in pretty much every area.

If you think this looks good in the pictures - wait till you see it in the flesh !!!!!

New Ashcroft AATB + Standard Casing + New 3.54 Polished CWP - Ref :NEW_STD_ATB_ASH3.54

Here we have a nice very Standard All New Ashcroft AATB 24 Spline unit, in a Refreshed Standard 'Colletted' Casing

Additionally, this build has our Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade - Adds huge strength increase, it's our 'Full Ultra Spec' Build, and comes complete with
a Brand New Standard Ratio Polished 3.54:1 CW&P Gearset.

As with all our Ultra Build Specs this has all new Timken Bearings, a Genuine Seal, all new and upgraded Bolts and special 'Nordlock' washers,
nothing is reused other than the actual casing itself, which has been aquablast cleaned and refurished, oh, and of course our Superflange upgrade.

As mentioned although a lower spec build in terms of not 'pegged casing', and not a HD CW&AmpP gearset etc, nothing has been lowered in terms of build quality.
The new Crown Wheel & Pinion has very special Heavy Duty 'SAE8 HD Hex Bolts' along with Special Nordlock Washers to secure it (the best you can do on these - superior bolts
and these fixings are in our opinion essential on AATBs as other lesser bolts come loose !!!!!), and then, to really make this unit jump out at you - it also has an
amazing and quite superb Polished HD 3.54 Crown Wheel and Pinion Gearset.

Just look at the stunning 'Blue Check' - it's just ....well..thats near perfection - and will be 'mouse' quiet ! A cracking Differential !

AATBs will always try to equalise the torque / drive to each wheel, this reduces the possibility of a spinning situation and thus gives superior grip and handling.
The casing is one of the better colletted versions, which as you will see in the pictures have the Domex Carrier Cap upgraded TIG welded in place with our own CS80 Grade HD locking ears
a proper solution to the weak pin we see so many coming in 'Blown up' as these daft pins fail - these won't !

Ashcroft and Quaife ATBs are often refered to as 'LSDs' 'Limited Slip Diffs' (Technically incorrect but sort of ok lol)
Technically - LSDs have plates and DO require special LSD Oils, ATBs and AATBs do the same job, but via gears, and DO NOT need special oils.

Brand New 'Old Stock' 'KAM LSD' Matching Front and Rear 3.75 Heavy Duty CWPs both in Pegged Casings

When it comes to having better handling on and off road differential wise, you are looking at either ATBs, AATBs, True Tracs or LSDs.

They pretty much all do the same thing, just in slightly differing ways, but the idea is to 'Tighten' up the handling making the 4 x wheels feel more 'Planted' on the Road, giving better handling,
a safer 4x4 all round, and in Off Road or poor conditions giving huge additional traction - which they do all the time, ...and automatically.

To really simplify ATBs (Quaife) AATBs and Tru-Tracs do this - again in different ways - and do it via gears. LSDs do it through special LSD Plates

Now the 'Geared' units are good in that they are strong and just require Oil Changes, they work automatically balancing the drive to each of the 4 wheel to aid traction and thus grip,
and LSDs do the same job, but ATBs AATB TTs Etc do this via gears, but, and here is a very Key difference - ATBs are set at factory, whilst LSDs can be altered to allow differing amounts
of 'Grip' vs set at factory.

When I worked at KAM years ago we sold a huge number of these, and one of the key reasons we sold so many was the ability to have adjustable loading / grip.

With 2 x Quaifes or 2 x AATB Ashcrofts, the 'grip' on both front and rear differential is the same, and it can be that some people find that with these the 'Grip' exerted on the front / and
then up to and into the steering can feel a bit 'Too Much'...

So, what we did was simply to make the Rears 'A Little bit more grippy' than Quaifes and Ashcrofts AATBs and then the fronts 'A Little bit less grippy' than standard Quaife and Ashcroft AATBs.

Customers reported back that the set up was still absolutely amazing from a grip and saftey point of view, but easier to live with and drive - to a point they didn't really ever notice the
front had the LSD in there, it just transformed to 4x4 as LSDs and AATBs do !

.....And that brings us to these 2 little darlings ! .....

Amongst the massive amount of New Old Stock KAM Parts we bought in we had these !....

Both LSDs Both Brand New, Both 'KAM Old School Quality' and both 1 x Rear set up and 1 x Front Set up..... So we have decided to build them up for sale.

The Spec is that we have also decided that they will be in 'Pegged Casings', and both will be full Ultra Build Spec, both will have deadicated Front Rotation and Rear rotation CWPs,
Matching Oil Vane upgrades, Puma Flanges and our Superflanges, BUT we have just tweaked the gearing on the CW&Ps to 3.75 from 3.54 Ratio, not a huge jump but a nice one and we will now explain.

..

The 3.54:1 is Land Rovers standard ratio, if you were to fit these to a Land Rover with standard tyres sizes of circa 28-29 Inches high they woiuld be fine, just that 5th Gear would be at slightly
higher revs than on 3.54, but it will accelerate faster through the gears. However if you have fitted say 30-33 inch tyres then the gearing is now out, 5th gear becomes lazy and the 4x4
doesn't accelerate as it should - fitting these would in this instance correct than back to where the gearing should be - ie before the bigger tyres.

And being that these are a matching set of Front & Rear Rotation CW&Ps, and also Heavy Duty and in Pegged Casings - these are going to be a massive shock to your driving expereince !

Shame we can't get more, but here are a pair all brand new and ready to give your a 4x4 a real treat and handling that just feels completely different !

There is one other thing - you do need to run EP 80/90 LSD oil - easy to get - Amamzon sells it !!!, and its not bonkers money like modern car engine Oils - just make sure you change the oil
maybe 2 x a year (or more) as these units do work hard all the time and as such the oil takes a beating !.

This is ALSO true for all AATB and ATBs - just that you use a Non LSD EP 85/90 or even EP90...

It will be a shame to see these go, as its unlikely we will see more of them, I wish we could, but they did cost a huge amount of money to make, just as with the KAM 4 Pin Centers these are
seriously over engineered. The 3 x Parts of the main body being CNC heat treated billet steel, 12 x bolts to bolt the 3 x parts together and so on. Built to be what was the best you could get
for a LSD Differential for a Land Rover - and frankly these still stack up there with that same positioning - these are seriously strong !

And thats it really, a pair of really well built Brand new Front and Rear 3.75:1 HD CW&Ps Pegged Casings and Brand new KAM LSD Matching Front and rear too !

Picture 1 is the front Picture 2 is one that we took just before closing it all up (Both have been stripped cleaned and check - even though new - its an OCD Thing :O)....3rd is the Rear

When these have gone - the've gone - So think about them. These really are a bit of a opportunity, for either a Comp Safari Racer, or a Road Going 4x4 that wants to go and play 'Go-Cart'
stylee handling !!

There is a Video in the 'Gearing' Section - done years ago for a Friend, his comment at the end of the video is that he now loves chasing Golf GTis about for fun .....

No exchange required, these are an outright purchase

New Ashcroft AATB + Pegged Casing + New HD 3.5 Polished CWP Ref ATBPC35R-1

This is a New ATB - on Steriods !.

It starts with one of our Pegged Casings, and a New Ashcroft 24 spline AATB with our full Ultra Build Spec build, All new Timken Bearings, a Genuine Seal, all new and upgraded Bolts and special Nordlock washers, nothing is reused other than the actual casing, which has been aquablast cleaned and refurished, oh, and of course our Superflange upgrade.

It then takes a jump to the next level - Look at the pictures !
The Crown Wheel has very special Heavy Duty SAE8 HD Hex Bolts with Special Nordlock Washers to secure it (the best youi can do on these - superior bolts and these fixings are essential on AATBs), and then, to really make this unit jump out at you - it also has an amazing and quite superb Polished HD 3.5 Heavy Duty Crown Wheel and Pinion Gearset - Just look at the finish both on the rear of the Crown Wheel face - where the Pegged Casing pad runs, and then the stunning 'Blue Check' - it's just ....well..what a unit !

We build a lot of these for customers - here is a video showing what it goes through build wise, and why ...( Note : This is our 'Normal' HD Pegged Casing unit NOT the 'Big Bearing' Pegged Casing that is also in the video ) ....but even so - this is a SERIOUS differential none the less. Click to watch a New Ashcroft AATB + Pegged Casing + New HD 3.5 Polished CWP build

AATBs will always try to equalise the torque / drive to each wheel, this reduces the possibility of a spinning situation and thus gives superior grip and handling.
ATBs are also amazingly strong too, more so when 'Pegged', consider that with more traction it will mean more stress, hence why we will often build these AATBs into our Pegged Casings for that extra strength needed to give proper reliability - and to protect your investment.

Ashcroft and Quaife ATBs are often refered to as 'LSDs' 'Limited Slip Diffs' (Technically incorrect but sort of ok lol)
Technically - LSDs have plates and DO require special LSD Oils, ATBs and AATBs do the same job, but via gears, and DO NOT need special oils.

New Ashcroft AATB + Pegged Casing + New HD 3.5 Polished CWP Ref IMP_ATBPC35R

These are so popular we have a second unit ...........again on Steriods - but this one is in an 'Imperial' Pegged Casing !!.

The 'Imperial' Pegged Casing, is the same as an ordinary Pegged Casing - EXCEPT- 'Imperial' casings have an extra 'Filler Plug' to put the oil in on the differential casing itself - which is both extemely handy to help with your 'oil filling time', but also rather 'essential' if it's going in a earlier Land Rover model - which doesn't have what the later axles have - namely a filler plug on the diff plan. Either way it's either a rather 'Nice to Have' or 'bl**dy Essential' depending on your Vehicle !!!>

Then we have taken a New Ashcroft 24 spline AATB + built up with our full Ultra Build Spec build. All new Timken Bearings, a Genuine Seal, all new and upgraded Bolts and special Nordlock washers.

Nothing is reused other than the actual casing, which has been Aquablast cleaned and refurished, oh, and of course our Superflange upgrade.

It then takes a jump to the next level - Look at the pictures !

The Crown Wheel has very special Heavy Duty SAE8 HD Hex Bolts with Special 'Nordlock' Washers to secure it (the very best you can do on these - superior bolts and these fixings are essential on AATBs), and then, to really make this unit jump out at you - it also has an amazing and quite superb Polished HD 3.5 Heavy Duty Crown Wheel & Pinion Gearset.

Just look at the finish both on the rear of the Crown Wheel face - (where the Pegged Casing pad runs), and then the stunning 'Blue Check' - it's just ....well..what a unit !

AATBs will always try to equalise the torque / drive to each wheel, this reduces the possibility of a spinning situation and thus gives superior grip and handling.

ATBs are also amazingly strong too, more so when 'Pegged', consider that with more traction it will mean more stress, hence why we will often build these AATBs into our Pegged Casings for that extra strength needed to give proper reliability - and to protect your investment.

Technically - LSDs have plates and DO require special LSD Oils, ATBs and AATBs do the same job, but via gears, and DO NOT need special oils.

Buy these for being a Super Strong Unit esp in this spec, extar traction, and basically better on and off road manners, if its the only one you have / buying / fitting then rear first....
But.... you will be so impressed you will be back wnating one for the front !...... (Well.....You have been warned ! - Yes - These really really are that good ! )

New Ashcroft SHORT NOSE AATB + Pegged 'Domexed' Casing + New HD 3.54 DANA 3.54 CWP Ref SN_PC_ATB_DANA_1

This is a SHORT NOSE AATB in a 'Pegged Casing', with our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade', plus a brand spanking new top of the range DANA CWP Gearset, as a result we get this stunning 'Blue Check' from the 3.54 Standard CWP Gearset. DANA CWPs are just super super quality and therefore always super quiet vs the other 'pattern' stuff out there.

Now, PLEASE be aware - being a 'SHORT NOSE' AATB Differential its ONLY for either front or rear P38 Range Rovers, or more likley the REAR axle of a late (NON SALISBURY) 110 axle.

So, that being covered some information on this stunning unit ....

The Pegged Casing on these 'Short Nose' casings have a pair of daft roll pins holding it all together. Seriously daft, we see many failures come in.
This casing has our 'Domex Carrier Cap' upgrade, plus our own HD CS80 grade locking ears.

Then we have taken a New Ashcroft 24 spline AATB & modified it the way we do for Fitting into a New Pegged Casing.
Its then been built up with our full Ultra Build Spec, so thats all new Timken Bearings, a Genuine Seal, all new and upgraded & very special CWP and Carrier Cap Bolts and special Nordlock washers.

Nothing is reused other than the actual casing itself, which has been Aquablast cleaned and refurished, oh, and of course our Superflange upgrade.

The special bolts used we think are essential. The Crown Wheel has 10 x very special Heavy Duty SAE8 HD Hex Bolts with Special 'Nordlock' Washers to secure it.
Superior bolts and these fixings are essential on AATBs - Yes they cost more £s - but are worth every single penny invested .....

AATBs will always try to equalise the torque / drive to each wheel, this reduces the possibility of a spinning situation and thus gives superior grip and handling.

ATBs are also amazingly strong too, more so when 'Pegged'. Consider that with more traction it will mean more stress, hence why we will often build these AATBs into our Pegged Casings for that extra strength needed to give proper reliability - and to protect your investment.

Ashcroft and Quaife ATBs are often refered to as 'LSDs' 'Limited Slip Diffs' (Technically incorrect.... but sort of ok lol)
Technically - LSDs have plates and DO require special LSD Oils, ATBs and AATBs do the same job, but via gears, and DO NOT need special oils.

Buy these for being a 'Super Strong' Unit esp in this spec, extra traction, and just basically better on and off road manners.
If this is going to be your first ever ATB then fine fitting Rear 1st is the way to go, but.... you will be so impressed you will be back wanting one for the front.
Espeically more so on a 110, the difference in stability feel, traction and overall safe feeling is huge, these units genuinely stun customers who have bought them ....
Well.....You have been warned ! - Yes - These really really are that good ! .

New KAM SHORT NOSE LSD + 'Domexed' Casing + New HD 3.54 DANA 3.54 CWP Ref SN_KAM_LSD_DANA

Erm .........How shall I put this - I Know exactly how ........ ' WOW' ..

The chances of you finding another one of these ever again is probably as 'close to zero' or even zero, as I can imagine !....
THIS is a brand new Heavy Duty Genuine early 'KAM Differentials' SHORT NOSE 110 / P38 LSD (Limited Slip Diff) and ...IT'S BRAND NEW OLD STOCK.

Just to again make absolutely sure you know what this fits - it's a SHORT NOSE differential, with our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade'.

Then we have built it with a Brand spanking new top of the range and the best you can possibly get DANA 3.54 Standard CWP Gearset.
These DANAs are always super quiet vs the other 'pattern' stuff out there, DANAs are just super super quality and super quiet ..Guaranteed.

BUT - being a 'SHORT NOSE' Differential it's ONLY for either front or rear P38 Range Rovers, or more likley the REAR axle of a late (NON SALISBURY) 110 axle.

So, that now being covered - lets look at this a lot closer !.
These units were made Yonks back in 2008 I think this one it dated ! (I worked at KAM then !!)
These are just so 'OTT' in terms of build strength they are off the scale !. There are 3 x Main body parts - 2 x end flanges and a center tube - all CNC Billet machined
from serious High End Spec Metal, then all heat treated, the center is obviously all brand new - and it has a One Piece ' Forged Cross Shaft' in place.

The 'End Flange' on the Crown Wheel side was designed to be BIG & seriously THICK to aid supporting the thin 110 Crown Wheels, and being that the metal used is
what it is, trying to machine a 'flat' for a Pegged Casing - Erm...'Pass' - been there, tried that, broken carbide cutters and given up...
The whole idea of that huge thick 'Wall' of HD steel supporting the Crown wheel was to get around the need for a Pegged Casing,... and frankly it worked !!

Now, there is a downside - and thats Oil.
Ashcroft and Quaife ATBs are often refered to as 'LSDs' 'Limited Slip Diffs' (Technically incorrect.... but sort of ok lol)
KAM Centres are TRUE LSDs have plates & require special LSD Oil, ATBs and AATBs use gears, and DO NOT need special oils.But really its no big deal when you know.
We will advise and guide you to exactly what oil you need to run this, and where to get it from etc. Oil has moved on from 'Any old stuff will sort of do' - into a science !.

And finally - 'Short Nose' casings have the daft roll pins holding it all together, seriously daft. At the end of the day a 110 is 3.5 Tonne rated tow truck - and we see
many failures come in to us where the 2 x pins have failed, so we have converted the caps with our 'Domex Carrier Cap upgrade' plus our own HD CS80 grade locking ears.
A proper solution and massive increase in both strength and reliability

Build wise its then back to our full Ultra Build Spec build, so thats all new Timken Bearings, Genuine Seal, all new and upgraded very special CWP and Carrier cap Bolts and
the special 'Nordlock' washers we use on these centers. Nothing reused other than the casing, after a Aquablast clean & refurish, & of course our Superflange upgrade.

The special bolts used we think are essential - the Crown Wheel have very special Heavy Duty SAE8 HD Hex Bolts with Special 'Nordlock' Washers to secure it (the very best
you can do on these - superior bolts and these fixings are essential on AATBs & LSDs- and yes, they cost more, but are worth every single penny invested.

The result is what you see left in the pictures, a stunning diff, very much a one off, and we hope whoever buys this looks after it - it is just beautiful.
This sort of totally 'OTT' over engineered quality (just look at the number of bolts and thicknesses of the flanges used) just isn't out there now sadly.

Just like an AATBs, LSDs as this is, will always try to equalise the torque / drive to each wheel, this reduces the possibility of a spinning situation and thus gives superior grip and handling.
Boy you wait till you fit this baby ! The way it will tranform the rear of a 110 making it feel safer and more drivable in all conditions is just amazing.

I would just love to have more and build more, chances are probably I'll never get another new one - but thats life - if you fancy it don't hang about - its just stunning

No P/Ex and No Surcharges required

New Short Nose (Rear in Late 110) ARB RD138 24 Spline Locker + Pegged Casing + New Standard Ratio 3.54 CWP

Well, if you are reading this you are maybe thinking of treating yourself to a new 110 Short Nose Ashlocker ?

And, if that's the case you won't regret an Ashlocker - absolutely the best locker for a Land Rover axle money can buy....
But, lets be brutally honest here right now, to anywhere near the above specification - it's a bit 'Wallet Frightening' !.....

We bought a massive amount of clearance stock a while back, including this.

A brand new in the box ARB RD138 (plus a load of other diffs !) and its been moved about for too long now - time we did something with it...
We decided this is daft, lets build it all up into something rather special and at a price which is also seriously attractive ...and we have...and here it is !

To give you just an idea of how this is Value for Money - and its ALL New, this if we were to build from scratch to this spec would be £2114 + VAT total £2536
An Ashlocker to the same spec as this would be £1822 + VAT £2186 (Yes Ashlockers are cheaper !), and THIS ....
Well this as you see here in the pictures is £1545 + VAT £1854 and with No exchange unit required, and with all the additional extras AND a NEW CWP all for £1575 + VAT.

That's pretty much a bit of a bargain.

Being new this will come with - All new : Soleniod, New Air Hose, New Switch Gear, all New Fittings, (but we suggest you allow us to supply all in 6mm (easy to get)
vs ARBs daft use of 5mm (near impossible to get lol), it will be built with '6mm and everything' to match unless you request 5mm, which you can have same price - just ask !

Build wise we decided to fit it to a Pegged Casing, for a few reasons.

Apart from the fact a 110 rear end is very heavy and they benifit hugely from any Differential thats 'Pegged', it is a new unit, these are £1026 new just for the centre
(Yes - you did read that correctly - £1026 JUST for the centre !), it's also having a New £300+ 3.54 Standard Ratio Crown Wheel and Pnion, so there is a lot of money already here
so lets not scrimp, and then finally on top of all of the above, its a 'Locker', so the 110 unit will be under way more strain than a standard' 'Open Diff' will ever be.

So after all the thought processes we decided to not mess about half baked and to build it to as high a spec as we could as it is something rare and special.

Additionally the rather daft 'hollow pins' holding the Adjuster rings in place.... (or trying / and often failing !)... have been cut off, and our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade Conversion' TIG welded in place, along with our own HD CS80 grade Adjuster ring 'Ears'with 12.9 Grade Bolts and Nylocs to secure.

To understand our 'Carrier Cap' Upgrade- Watch this video !.

This build even at this price is no different (even though the price doesn't reflect it) - we will always use, and have here, the best of everything - ie Timken Bearings,
Genuine Seal, all new (and upgraded) Bolts, Nordlock washers, upgraded flanged headed Pinion Bolt, our 'Superflange' - they are all are here .

A brand new 'Antonio Maserio' Crown Wheel and Pinion has been fitted, and these are real quality - check out the finish on the Crown Wheel.

Look closely at both the rear face of the Crown wheel and the Blue Check, a Gearset of this quality increases strength and as a result the reliability
and the final overall finished quality of the differential. All in all this is a really top draw 110 Rear Axle Short Nose locker to an exceptional spec and price is good too !

And thats it really - a Bit of a one off and allows us to clear something out of stock we should have done yonks back and give a real bargain to someone - maybe you ?.....

Price, as with all our Differentials is a OUTRIGHT Cost - ie NO Surcharges, NO Exchange Costs.

You fancy a really nice new ARB locker ? - This will be it.!!

Xcess 4x4s 'Ultimate Ashlocker' 3.5 Rear Differential - Check Build Spec below ........SOLD - BUT WE COULD BUILD YOU ANOTHER !

Well, if you are reading this you are maybe thinking of treating yourself to a new Ashlocker ?

And, if that's the case you won't regret an Ashlocker - absolutely the best locker for a Land Rover axle money can buy....

But...Lets be brutally honest here right now......You will absolutely definately be able to by an Ashlocker cheaper than this.......
Better ?...100% No.... Not a chance ....Not even close to what you are looking at here.

Whilst we are known for building and rebuilding very high quality differentials, we also make some serious upgrades, to make the builds
stronger better and more reliable, and this is exactly one of those builds. This is a Ashlocker - with a difference...or rather difference(s) !.

Lets just run through what the specification of this unit is and why it's just so special and so superb.

1st, it has a very late 'Puma Casing', which after being 'Aqua Blast' cleaned has been converted to our 'Pegged Casing' specification.
Additionally the rather daft 'hollow pins' holding the Adjuster rings in place.... (or trying / and often failing !)... have been cut off,
and our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade Conversion' TIG welded in place, along with our own HD CS80 grade Adjuster ring 'Ears'with 12.9 Grade Bolts and Nylocs to secure.

To understand our 'Carrier Cap' Upgrade- Watch this video !.

Now, whilst we will always use the best of everything - ie Timken Bearings, Genuine seals, always we use all new (and upgraded) Bolts, Nordlock washers, upgraded flanged
headed Pinion Bolt we always use there are many other things we upgrade - all as standard in all our builds.

This also has all of our popular upgrades we do like our 'Superflange' and our 'Oil Vane' upgrade, all are here.
BUT.....on Ashlockers.... We can seriously increase the reliability and strength of Ashlockers with our 'Tablock Upgrade' - which this has.

To understand the 'Tablock Upgrade'- Watch this video !. A massive strength increase and for the additional cost it's proving to be an almost 'standard' request on the majority of our Customer builds...

And finally, Just check out the finish on the Crown Wheel.
Look closely at both the rear face of the Crown wheel and the Blue Check.
This is a very special HD 3.5 Rear Crown wheel, it has a special finish, again increasing strength, reliability and the final overall finished quality of the differential.

All of this extra effort and using the best parts costs money, and yes, add them all up, and that does push up the final price up, it's all down to if you want to spend
as little as possible...and frankly cut corners, or, spend a little more for one hell of an upgraded Ashlocker - thats your call and yours alone.
Some customers either can't justify or just don't have the funds to go this far, but if you can - and you do - then it's one hell of a diff !.

Like the old saying from Benjamin Franklin - 'The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.' - and thats as true as ever today.

The only upgrade we haven't done to this build is our 'Big Bearing' conversion - but one of those is planned for a build shortly.
One issue though is possibly the last 2 we built never quite made themselves to the webshop ....in fact same on my own differential - that never made it into
my 90 which desperately was required - hey Ho .... Oh, neither did the 2 others that followed.

Only when I couldn't put up with the horrible nosies that were coming out of my 90s rear axle sounded terminal did Build No 4 actually HAVE to make in in there ...lol

All in all a this really is more than just a new differential - It's more like a thing of beauty !

Well, we were so impressed we had to do a video of it ! - Enjoy !

Price, as with all our Differentials is a OUTRIGHT Cost - ie NO Surcharges, NO Exchange Costs.

A PAIR of Brand New Pegged Ashcroft Lockers - Tablocked - 4.1 Front and Rear HD CWPs

This listing is for a pair of very very 'High Spec' Ashlockers with matching polished 4.1 CW&P Gearsets.
The specs however do vary as the Rear Differential is further upgraded with our top of the range topping 'Big Bearing' Conversion, making this the strongest unit we can possibly make.

The 1st 6 pictures show the Rear 'Big Bearing' Differential - the 2nd 6 Pictures are then showing the the Front Differential.

Being 4.1 Ratio CW&Ps Ratio Differentials, these are also designed to correct your over gearing due to run bigger tyres.
Getting the gearing corrected will absolutely transform your driving experience and enjoyment on and off road more than you can possibly believe !.

If you are unsure around what exactly 'Over and Under Gearing' is etc please go and look at the section on the website about 'Gearing' and there are videos to - which explain the issue, or just ring for a chat

Looking now at each of the Differentials and their 'Specs' :

Both are in our 'Pegged Casings'. Both are Brand New Ashlockers, and both have been upgraded with our 'Tablock' system and built with matching Heavy Duty 4.1:1 Polished CW&Ps in Rear and Front (Reverse Cut) Rotations. As mentioned before, the Rear differential additionally having the 'Big Bearing' Upgrade for additional strength and reliability.

So, 1st the Rear :

Starting with a very late 'Puma Casing' has been'Aqua Blast' cleaned then converted to our 'Pegged Casing' specification.

Additionally the rather daft 'hollow pins' holding the Adjuster rings in place.... (or trying / and often failing !)... have been cut off, and our 'Domex Carrier Cap Upgrade Conversion' TIG welded in place, along with our own HD CS80 grade Adjuster ring 'Ears'with 12.9 Grade Bolts and Nylocs to secure. To understand our 'Carrier Cap' Upgrade- Watch this video !.

Whilst we will always use the best of everything - ie Timken Bearings, Genuine seals, always we use all new (and upgraded) Bolts, Nordlock washers, upgraded flanged headed Pinion Bolts we always use there are many other things we upgrade - all as standard in all our builds plus of course our 'Superflange' Upgrade.

With Ashlockers we can seriously increase the reliability and strength of these differentials with our 'Tablock Upgrade' - which both of these have. To understand the 'Tablock Upgrade'- Watch this video !.
A massive strength increase and for the additional cost it's proving to be an almost 'standard' request on the majority of our Customer builds. It's that good ! Over 600 now and zero CW&P bolt Failures !.

And then, finally, as this is the absolute best we can build as is also has our Pegged Casing 'Big Bearing' conversion.
For this we have massively modified the front of the differential casing - removing the small standard Timken 539707 Tail Bearing and replaced it with an absolutely HUGE upgraded bearing which means the differential now is both stronger and able to cope with more extreme loads being placed on it.

Rather than ramble on here take a look at the build Video : THIS is why the 'Big Bearing' conversion so good - Click here to watch a video on our big bearing conversion
Rear Differentials do have more loads on them / work harder etc than Front for the majority of their time both on and off road, which is why we thought we would build this spec pair, a Super HD Rear with a Matching HD Front !

The Front is the same spec as the Rear, with the exception of no Big Bearing upgrade, having a Front Rotation CW&P gearset.

Just check out the finish on the Crown Wheels, and look closely at both the rear face of the Crown wheels and the Blue Checks. Just superb !.
These are very special HD 4.1 Crown wheel & Pinions having a highhly polished finish, again increasing strength, reliability and the final overall finished quality of the differential.

All of this extra effort and using the best parts costs money, and yes it all adds up, and that does push up the final price up, it's all down to if you want to spend as little as possible...and frankly cut corners, or, spend a little more for one hell of an upgraded Ashlocker - thats your call and yours alone.

Some customers either can't justify or just don't have the funds to go this far, but if you can - and you do - then it's one hell of a pair of diffs !.
Like the old saying from Benjamin Franklin - 'The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.' - and thats as true as ever today.

You are able to buy Front or Rear or both (in which case there is a discount to ease the pain) ...should you push the boat out and buy both and really treat yourself - and you can buy with or without the Additional Fitting Kits of Hose, Switches, Connections, Soleniods etc.
