that looks eerily familiar.

wonder if the original idea came from Killeraxles/Tibus Off-road (who also had a locker prototype for the Sportage).

Update

The test Mule is a 28teeth rear diff. results at aproxx 10 days as to "yes" and how.

There is also the possibility and they will try to fit a mazda 5.3 ( not shure at the moment ) ring and pinion. It seems as a bolt on but as I said... it seems
If it does I will give you the mazda parts codes...

well, it should be bolt-on, if there is such a thing available, as the diffs ARE Mazda diffs....

Getting the Wheeling Fever
It has already been started the manufacturing of the first one for Sportage. It will be for front. Next will be mine which will be front and rear. There is still a question of the spline (I would like to use stronger halfshafts and cv axleshafts). I also plan to change the ring and pinion ratio using something from the market.
But firstly I have to finilise with the suspension......
All the above mentioned I estimate that will have been finished up to the end of September.
The trials of the diffs at the other cars are succesfull including some races. Wait a littlt bit more to have results from Sportage.
