guy i met at a little get together in nova scotia last week. fully custom frame, ford 300ci inline six, T18 tranny, series LR transfer, and rover 10 spline :eek: coiler axles front and rear.
the quality of fabrication on this rig is awesome, i was really impressed. just needs some stronger axles though :D
oh yeah and its spring over on 35x12.5s on stock series 15"ers.

What's wrong with 10 splines if they DON'T break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been running them now forever, one of the reasons that I am going with the Toy conversion is that I don't feel like spending what it would take to upgrade to 24 spline, new R&P's and diffs. The thought of spending that much money on something that hasn't broken yet is what has probably kept me from driving like a frickin kamikazi and snapping the axles.

Nice truck.
I agree with RedRover (formerly ciocc77). Unfortunately unlike him, I have already dropped thousands of dollars on the Rover axle upgrade. I hope this new to us Toyota axle conversion works. That would be pretty sweet!

okay he doesnt break 10 splines but he munches through diffs like you wouldnt believe. i think he owes like 3 people range rover diffs.
hes not locked, and no matter how you cut it, 300 cubes of inline six torque, a granny first in the trans, a heavy ass 109, and 35s is going to break shit.

word to your mother on the 10 splines:
PRE 68 10 spline 8" third, takes a lock right or arb or trutrax. WITH 4.88 or 4.11's stock..... rebuilt from a yard, = way cheaper for people with 33's.
IMHO.
The trick is finding the thirds, and I am on that now... give me some time.
