Differentials are among the most important and heavily used mechanical parts and can make a huge difference in performance, especially once you leave the asphalt behind. This much is undisputed, but then the first question usually is whether you need proper lockers on the axles or at least limited slip diffs? Our answer: Unless you’re regularly punishing your Landy in heavy terrain and prefer it climbing over driving, a locker probably makes little sense for you. In ambitious everyday use, retro-fitting a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) like the Ashcroft ATB or the TrueTrac by Eaton will make a huge difference, though. For most drivers most of the time, limited slip diffs will be the best choice on-road, with varying surface and weather conditions, as well as off-road. But first some basics: in contrast to real lockers, which lock up your axle either electronically or pneumatically, LSDs work in the background all the time and not only if you switch them on. Moreover, there is no need for external input. They neutralize the torque differential on one axle gradually or in increments, whereas a real locker has only two states: either completely off or on. This in turn means that the LSD supports the driver continuously and unnoticeably on loose or slippery surfaces and can even beat lockers in certain tricky situations. Every seasoned off-roader will know this one: the vehicle is tilted sideways on slippery ground and the lower rear wheel with most of the load on a locked axle will pull the back of the vehicle violently sideways and downhill when you step on the gas pedal. Moreover, the enormous forces working on locked axles usually require re-enforcements to the drive train, if you want to avoid costly damages in such situations. The Ashcroft ATB LSD, available for Rover front axles (Defender 90/110/130) and rear (90) as well as for the P38 axle on 110/130, is of a Torsen Type 2 design, similar to the Eaton Truetrac, but with a slight difference. The engineers at Ashcroft are employing 6 instead of 3 pairs of helical gears parallel to the axle. The differential creates the necessary friction for torque compensation by pressing these helical gears to the sides of their pockets. Now, if you’re thinking metal on metal, there’s got to be loads of wear on these gears, you need not worry. Both the Ashcroft as well as the Eaton are designed to compensate for the wear and will be among the most long-lived movable parts in the car. One drawback inherent in this particular design is the fact that at least one wheel per axle has to have a load on it for the diff to engage. Pre-load springs on the Ashcroft minimize the effect. If you have both wheels spinning, simply engaging brakes and throttle simultaneously will initialize the torque compensation again. In cars with traction control, this effect is achieved electronically, by the way. The ATB LSD otherwise supports the traction control by multiplying its effects. Because of these characteristics inherent in the design a vehicle fitted with Ashcroft ATBs should never be brake-tested on rollers. The Ascroft ATB is reliable, quiet, supports traction control if fitted, needs little maintenance and improves both the driving characteristics and the power transmission, depending on your setup. It fits Rover and P38 axles (including fittings).  ATB Torsen differential lock Salisbury is only suitable for Salisbury rear axles. For Salisbury axles, the Detroit Truetrac from Eaton is also recommended as an alternative.

Quick navigation: The standard combinations of the modules Available lengths (dimensions and weights) Mounting instructions and downloads When it comes to powerful performance, our very own CargoBear is definitely the Grizzly among roof racks. Strong, sturdy and massively versatile, it was way ahead of its time when we introduced it in 2016. But the world is turning, evolution doesn’t favor a standstill and if you want to survive in nature, you need to keep innovating. Leaner and meaner is this new bear, the CargoBear 2.0, when he emerges from his winter den in Berg. Same load bearing strength, same solidity, same rigidity, but greatly reduced fight weight: Your 4x4 has to carry around 30 % less weight on the roof. And on top of it, the new CargoBear comes with a reduced price tag as well. How did we do it? The crucial difference lies in a new construction design. Removing the comparatively heavy longitudinal connecting beams, their structural function has been taken over by newly developed perforated HIGRIP plates between the crossbars and angled end-plates for the sides. The new design achieves (nearly) the same structural strength as its predecessor but reduces the net weight considerably.  The CargoBear 2.0 has been designed for a load capacity of 300 kg off-road (with evenly distributed load). This can easily be doubled on the road. Theoretically, that is, because it’s important to make two points when it comes to roof racks. One, keep in mind that your vehicle’s centre of gravity can shift upwards considerably when carrying a roof rack with cargo, especially off-road. And two, when loading your roof rack, the limitations will most likely result from your vehicles approved roof load which in most cases will be significantly below the specifications of the rack itself. Some of the CargoBear 2.0’s features stay the same, however, because we found them hard to improve: this includes the jet-black, super-flat look, the high-performance material and the modular versatility. Furthermore, all accessories, additional components, roof tents etc. are fully compatible with the first generation.  And last but not least, the old heavier CargoBear with longitudinal beams and checker plate will be continued exclusively for classic Defenders who need specific heavy-duty applications.  PLEASE NOTE: In Defender with pop-up roof / lift roof, the original roof is often shortened. If necessary, the roof rack then does not fit. Please measure beforehand or contact us in advance if you have any questions. Please note:When using a snorkel, the wind deflector may need to be adjusted. Please note: The CargoBear can be used on an AluCab pop-up roof.  The standard combinations of modules:(Click to enlarge) Defender 90 1,890 mm - 2 Modules optional: end beam, wind deflector Defender 90 2,075 mm - 3 Modules optional: end beam, wind deflector Defender 90 2,075 mm - 3 Modules incl. inclined extension (front module) optional: end beam Defender 90 1,005 mm - 1 Moduls optional: end beam, wind deflector                 Defender 110 SW/HT 2,775 mm - 3 Modules optional: end beam, wind deflector  Defender 110 SW/HT 2,765 mm - 3 Modules incl. inclined extension (front module) optional: end beam Defender 110 SW/HT 1,890 mm - 2 Modules optional: end beam, wind deflector Defender 110 SW/HT 1,005 mm - 1 Moduls optional: end beam, wind deflector                 Defender 110 DC 1,545 mm - 2 Modules optional: end beam, wind deflector Defender 110 DC 1,545 mm - 2 Modules incl. inclined extension (front module) optional: end beam Defender 110 DC 1,005 mm - 1 Moduls optional: end beam, wind deflector                 Defender 130 1,545 mm - 2 Modules  optional: end beam, wind deflector  Defender 130 1,545 mm - 2 Modules incl. inclined extension (front module) optional: end beam Defender 130 1,005 mm - 1 Moduls optional: end beam, wind deflector                   Available lengths (dimensions and weights): Module:   Länge: Gewicht: 1 Modul: 1x L 1,005 mm   2 Module: 1x L + 1x K 1,545 mm - geeignet für 110 DC, 130 CC   2 Module: 2x L 1,890 mm - geeignet für 90 er   3 Module: 3x L 2,775 mm - geeignet für 110 SW/HT   3 Module mit schräger oder normaler Eweiterung: 1x L + 2x K 2,075 mm - optimal für 90er   3 Module mit schräger Eweiterung: 3x L 2,765 mm - optimal für 110er   Schräges Erweiterungsmodul:   875 mm Erweiterungsmodul lang:   885 mm   Erweiterungsmodul kurz:   540 mm     Installation note:M10 lens head: 20 Nm to 25 NmM6 lens cylinder head: 10 Nm to 12N m Measured from the gutter, the CargoBear is approx. 23 cm high.
