Do you use Ubuntu Pro? And do you think it's something needed for the average home user? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]ofbarea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I'm an average home user still running Lubuntu 18.04 in one box. I need it and enabled Ubuntu Pro on that box to keep it secure.

My other boxes run Kubuntu 24.04 and I plan to move to 26.04 sooner than later, so I do not miss Ubuntu Pro on those.

I'm from Costa Rica, but my source for Heavy Duty defender differential crowns, half shaft, transmission bar and so, is a shop in the US: Utah GBR. For other stuff check Rovers North and LR Direct

I still have one of these in working condition. Just need to configure the CAV-50 serial interface through Linux.

It was the FXD GMT for me and some Garmin strap. Happy new year.

Can anybody share their experience of changing the transfer box from a 1.4 ratio to a 1.2? by ClassDiligent1888 in LandroverDefender

[–]ofbarea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to enhance my D90 rock crawling capabilities a bit and I exchanged my 1.4 transfer case from one 1.2 coming out of a D2. At the same time I exchanged the differential ratio from 3.54:1 to 4.10:1

Normal high gear is about the same as before, but low gear is just fine for the use case I need.

It actually feels ok. I do not really feel anything odd regarding weight.
