| LSD or Diff locker + HD shafts and CV joints |

Spoke to Kevin at Kam Diffs today. In a few months they will have developed a locking front diff, LSD and HD drive shafts with HD CV joints for the D3. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The way D3 values are going it's getting close to being worth buying a cheapy and slinging kit like this one it as a weekend toy 8)
Then I think about the value of the new one I bought 2 months ago 
Kam have got a great reuptation for bombproof kit. I whimper at the thought of how far a D3 kitted out with their upgrades could go  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Andrew, will that be inner _and_ outer CV's? Any specs on the CVs and driveshafts (I've been talking with an Australian company about CVs, but they don't do driveshafts)?

disco4x4au I think it will however the inner does not have to cope with the movement the outer one does so I will check.
Kam are working with McRay and will be testing the components in Tunisia next week. There are also plans for these up-grades to go into the Nemesis. I will get the full low down and post later. I think Kevin said a rough guide price for the up-graded front drive will be about £1500.00. Thats for the diff shafts and cv's. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
