Hi guys I live in France and do a lot of 'wheeling. I sold my Excursion and F-350 when we left the US and now I have a Range Rover classic V8 and a Toy HDJ-80, both modified pretty much, the Range more than the Toy.

Yesterday I learned that the rear axles in Defender 110s were modified Dana 60s up until a few years ago. I also heard that the British Army had special armored Defenders for use in Northern Ireland and they even had Dana 60s in front too.  My buddy and I break a lot of birfields and rear axles.  I run 35s and he runs 38s, so he breaks more than I do.

Does anybody know about these LR Dana 60s?  LR called them Salisbury axles.  What kind of 60 are they and can I get parts for them easily?  Or did LR modify them so much that parts are not interchangeable?

I bet Willy Worthy could answer this but I don't see how to write him over the web.
