2WD - Differential Choice
Hi,
New on here but a one time PBC veteran and I'm thinking of building a 2WD expedition vehicle based around a RWD estate. I know that I could pick up a Disco at great value that would be better and easier but fancy doing something different. Capable durable touring rather than extreme off road competence with a route across north africa, Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia/Libya/Egypt being in the plans for the longer term but perhaps more when I'm actually ready to go
With a vehicle choice already in mind(looking at diesel options for the powertrain elsewhere since I know diesel is the best route to go but can't decide on OE or retro options) what I'm looking to research is the differential - with the models I'm looking at there is a factory locking option which can be picked up cheaply second hand or several aftermarket LSD choices. So the question is for the odd foray onto the soft stuff which is better, standard, locking or LSD?
Thoughts appreciated please on this subject!
Cheers!
