I have always been a land rover guy, but since being on expo I have been reading more about other brands and picking up some great ideas and I think cross pollination between makes would improve them all so, in that spirit, lets share some ideas that will work across brands. I will start with some things that are common in the land rover world, but not too common outside of it.
1. The best is hot dip galvanizing chassis. No rust ever and quite reasonable to do. I am not sure why people paint or powdercoat chassis on other brands when galvanizing is so much more effective.
2. The factory land rover jack on range rover from 87-02, and defenders and discos from 94-04 is a great piece of kit. Double telescoping it allow you to jack up a flat oversized tire without resorting to a hi lift.
3. The LT230 t-case. Capable of handling lots of power, full time 4wd with locking diff with passenger output drop front and rear (so it is lower than a normal t case where the output is in line with the transmission output).
4. Dixon bate style tow jaws. Great recovery points.
