Well the forum has added more info than I have needed, with positive results...
As I said earlier "the collective input" has confirmed this ... IMO...
I wish to Buy 19.5 inch Wheels/Rims that will take a 285/70 Profile tyre. Ditto...
Do you have any rims to suit?? taking space in your shed ?? I need 6 in total. I have been offered a New price but would rather wait for a second-hand set - this leaves me more dosh to spend on good tyres.
Additionally! - Where do I access studs from?? I removed my PS rear wheel only to discover a #@*& of cross threaded mash of studs. I need 8 new studs and nuts to match. Who is best to purchase these from? Please??

Paul Nott has the high strength studs to suit, original nuts are a bit hard to come by but speak to Paul for options. I suggest you contact him and have a chat 0418125428.

The front tyres/studs/nuts are 'natural' to say the least.
The rear wheels have a worn/damaged thread at about 4 or 5 threads out from the base. I am guessing this may be because of the wrong nut hence taper that has caused this???
The wheels are genuine as appear to belong to Oka but the nuts may have been introduced some time after!!
When applying the last amount of pressure to firm the nuts up without 'cracking' I have this sudden but temporary slack before it bites again. Never seen it before... Any comment welcome...

Edit: Appears to have had tyres incorrectly mounted where they have become loose and destroyed the 4th / 5th thread of All 8 studs.

just destroyed a tyre on 350 and wondered if there are a couple of 285 70 R 19.5 tyres out here. They do not need to be legal and I would prefer an aggressive tread ...they would only be for farm use only . Obviously some where reasonably close handy would help.
cheers

19.5" rims still on my buy list.
SA Preferred.
Oh, while I am online... Needed 35mm spline rear diff upgrade, diff lock front diff and 25mm Spring hanger bolts front and rear.
Can source from the USA but need a 'fitter' in SA.

Which ones? Link/URL? Cost?

Where are you getting them?
Do they need to be parted down smaller on a lathe?

We use to be able to discuss the weather, before climate change and politics.
Lockers seem to be like discussing religion or politics.
There is the Air locker, the other locker, and the LSD crowd.
So I have no real help to offer.
In the olden days with an LSD, or with an open diff, we used to jam the bakes on and also the throttle.
The effect was the brakes evened out the load between left and right to a large extent.
Usually it was enough to get enough motion in the snow to extract one's self from trouble.
It is probably known as a "Dodgy Diff" approach, but I am not sure if it is well known.
I recall some words in a 70's Ford manuals suggesting using the parking-brake to do the equalisation work.
Of course once it starts digging in, then it is best to stop before needing to be shovelling to China.

The only problem I found was when in 4wd at low speed up to around 10kmh there is some tendency for the steering to pull a little one way or the other but as soon as speed is increased it smooths out.
Its a cheap option and i have found it to be a good asset.

Thank You for the excellent post. Your Preference,..Why it is.. and it's application..
I have air lockers on the old Troopy. When engaged, Every wheel bites and has been an obvious asset when needed. The LSD in the front to me is still only one wheel biting at a time whereas the diff lock will have Both wheels biting and pulling. Yet it appears from your example both (LSD and Lockers) performed well in Each vehicle under the same conditions. Food for thought. At this stage, unless I learn something different I am inclined towards the Diff Lock. The Spartan I will research..Sincerely, Thank You again.
Does anyone know about the Detroit True track locker?? (The only other one on my list) That is - Experience with it??
Before I embark on a front 35mm spline upgrade It will obviously be best to do both at the same time.
